  • i get peeved by cats who hum while listening to their music.

    oh wait....that's me. whoops!

    on the real, the ring tone thing here is no-joke. i mean, white people DO NOT CARE. lol.
  • I am definitely most annoyed by the loud talkers. Can you really get anything done around them? Nope!
  • OMG! This article came at the perfect time. I've been pretty ok at work and working with coworkers UNTIL they hired "The Smacker." She sits at her desk and eats candy, chips, etc all day. Now while eating at your desk is unprofessional all on its own, to add to the insanity she SMACKS her food.....loudly! It is the most irritating thing in the whole wide world and it has taken an exercise in restraint not to go over to her and tell her to keep her mastication to herself! Sigh...thats my two cents.
  • thats pretty damn funny.

    i think you should get a really smelly sandwhich and just eat it near her. then exlaim "im sorry, i know that is annoying. don't you hat it when people do annoying things while eating?"
  • Right now I'm dealing with the most annoying knee jerking co-worker. He feels the whole world revolves around him and his need to understand what everyone else already does. He standing over, asking questions, interrupting my work, my thoughts....damn excuse me I need to go to the restroom and pee. Can I have a second?
  • i think that i have the trifecta: micromanagement, disrespect for my education/skills, belief of their own PR. if i began to list the absolute treatment i receive from these people, it would be a dissertation, a 4000-page dissertation. with a phd and mph (2 graduate degrees! that i am still paying off loans for), they tried to have me making folders for a meeting! yes, copying documents, collating papers, and filling folders! then tried to tell me that it was a mistake to hire me because they have had to spend too much time reviewing and revising the work i do: i'm filling folders! this is your taxpayers dollars hard at work y'all!
  • I feel you. That's a painful feeling to be overqualified for a job.
