Alright, beat this, right... I sit in a silent office all day every day, I sit next to my boss who is fat, stinks of vile pi** (no, really), and groans EVERY SINGLE TIME he exhails. He eats like a pig and types with one finger. I mean come on... how long can a person stand that before insane?

now stay calm, is it really that bad?

Typing with one finger - sounds gross to me! :hihi:

Hasn't it been scientifically proven that after a while employees start to look and act like their bosses?

I'd get out if I was you. :D

Years ago I worked in an office in Sheffield.
We'd get there about half nine-ish and go over last night's telly and talk about what was on the telly that night.
After that we'd settle down and discuss the people in the upstairs office, especially their drinking and sexual habits.
Then........some idiot would start working !! It used to drive me bonkers . Scribbling away on some paper , answering the 'phone , filing things in cupboards.. It's a wonder anybody could plan where to nip off to for our 2 hour lunch breaks.
It got to the stage when I was glad when we were all made reduntant.

I don't think I can beat your story, but I used to work at a small construction company, and the boss's daughter in law :rant: used to:

Chew gum, snapping and popping it incessantly.

Leave work early, and come in late, leaving me to answer the phones and do HER job until she decided to show up.

Had NO idea what she was doing.

Constantly misplaced and lost important files, quotes, messages and phone numbers.

Was rude to customers or anyone else who actually expected her to do her job.

Made ALOT of personal, long distance phone calls on company time, when she was supposed to be working.

Which led to...me checking the long distance phone bills going back 6 months, and found that her calls averaged about $350/month. I circled everything in bright red ink and left it on the boss's desk with a note detailing my "concern" for our unusually large phone bills.

She didn't talk to me for a week after that.

Was running about on my lunch hour like a headless chicken one day, going to the post office, the bank etc. for the company, when I see her car parked OUTSIDE A NAIL SALON! When questioned, she whined that, "it was the only appointment I could get!"

Took some satisfaction in the fact that her husband (boss's son) was as obnoxious, vain, and lazy as she was. But felt sorry for their future children, because at the rate those two were spending money, there wouldn't be anything left, and life is tough enough without being both poor AND ugly.

Regretted every day I worked there that murder is a federal offense in all fifty states.

You need this handy little website (http://youhavebo.com/) :hihi:

Good Luck

:thumbsup:

Nice one Shiesh! Pity nobody's started a site called www.you're anannoyinggossipinglazypillock.com - I'd have given that some usage considering some of the people I've worked with over the years :hihi:

Britain.


We're 51st aren't we? :D

I used to work with a guy who said "sort of fing" at the end of EVERY sentence! It was soooo annoying. I once tried to count how many times he said it in a meeting, I gave up at 58!

Still I would prefer this to the smelly (BO) one you always get in an office!

I had the dubious pleasure of working for a year in a glass factory in Penistone.

The glass cutter left and they replaced him with a kid from Huddersfield way who had been cutting stained glass for the last few years.

Because he was used to doing small intricate pieces he was useless at cutting big sheets for double glazing and it took him ages. In the end I was helping him by sharing the glass cutters job with him.

If an order had to be done to a dead line the gaffer would come to me and I was always working through my lunch to do his work.

The best part of it all was the lazy fat b*****d was getting £1 an hour more than me for been the company glass cutter.

His other fault was he was a whistler...all day long we had to listen to his dreadfull noise.

I was glad to leave.

A guy sat next to me always ends his sentances... "do y'know what I mean?" or starts them by saying "I'll tell y' somethin for nothin..."

i work with a bloke who cooks kippers in the snap room at 7am for his breakfast.....they stink the warehouse and offices out for the rest of the day
