annoying habits of co-workers

[Rogmok]

ok.. so my co-worker has a reallly annoying habit... i don't know if i'm the only one that it bothers. But the habit is kinda hard to explain..

basically, after every statement.. she breathes out really loudly through her nose, kinda like she's about to laugh... The sound she makes is not, in itself that annoying.. but the fact that she does it at the end of each sentence makes it really annoying.

i dunno whats wrong w/ me.. like.. it REALLY bothers me... and she sits right behind me. so i hear this loud exhaling ALL day long.. gosh, i wish i could just tell her to stop doing that.

wow, i dont work but my english teacher has this weird habit of going "mm hmm mm hmm mm hmm" several times after "concurring" with someone.

i hate it when people tap the
spacebar excessively loud,
makes me want to smash their
face onto the xerox machine
and photocopy their blood.

I used to have a few coworkers who liked to eat lunch at their desks and made all the noises while eating.

Let's see, how do I put this in nerd-speak, oh yes, my boss likes to speak in all caps all the time. She also types her e-mails in all caps, terrible spelling included for free.

When she's really agitated, she throws in exclamation points (in real life and also on e-mail).

well ever since the new girl programmer started, several guys have been vying for her attention on a daily basis. it's like a geeky feeding frenzy. it's annoying.

is she hot? if so then that's understandable. That's a rare breed -- hot programmer chics. I saw a few decent looking, or cute, but hot, never.

programmer chicks dont need to be hot... they arehot relatively speaking

she's good looking. i don't know if i'd say she was hot in the sense that she inspires lust. she's very cute though. tall and skinny. and she's a lot of fun to hang out with.

Lemme tell ya 'bout the lactating woman who would use her breast pump at her desk...

Thanks to my boss, our turnover rate is at 380% and we're a six-month old company.

Yeah, but women in male-heavy industries get a +2 modifier when they're rolling for charisma points. So, presuming that "cute" would place her in the "5-7" range, her modifier puts her in the "pretty-hot" range versus flirting rolls.

My ex-co-worker used to talk to the computer screen. (or she was just talking to herself while staring at the screen.) Either way, she was really weird. I never told her straightforward since I thought it might hurt her feeling or something.

oooh, people like that, not just computers either, but everything they read its like "oh, so thats the one" "i didnt know that!"

I feel a sexual harrasment suit coming on.

I have a coworker with a thing for going into epileptic shock every once in a while.

More scary than annoying. :(

hehe annoying cuz your chances decrease w/every guy hmm? :rolleyes:

[steakandrice]

My co-worker..he eats with his mouth open. And makes this really noticable smacking sound with his mouth evertime he chews. This guy is probably 26 or 27 years old.

Really annoying/tacky....
Definately a turn off for any girl...

my co-worker... NEVER cleans up after himself. and since he's never done most of the protocols before, he needs to be trained. 'cept even after he's learned how to do something he'll bug someone (often me) to 'make sure' he's doing the right thing. When I'm in the middle of something and he's asking me "so, jenn, now I do this, right?" I wanna stab his eye out with a pipette tip.
