I work with the most annoying man in the world!!! It's just the 2 of us in the office and almost everything he does makes me want to whack him. Right now he's sitting opposite me gulping chocolate milkshake so loudly that the people next door can probably hear him. Then he will sit there and belch for the rest of the afternoon! Some people have no social skills or manners. He actually makes me feel sick. In a minute he will walk to another desk so he can try and read what I'm writing over my shoulder... AARRRGGHHHH Stressed Becx

I'm sure I used to work with him - lol. It can be so irritating can't it? I was sitting at work one day when my "boss" picked a huge scab off his head, flicked it over his shoulder and it landed right in the middle of my paperwork. I won't tell you what I called him but he scuttled away quickly. I was not a happy bunny! He used to do lots of disgusting things which I won't put on here incase anyone has a queasy tummy. Lorraine

Elf, thinking about the flying scab is enough for my stomach!!!!!

That sounds like the guy I work with!!! In fact I just laughed out loud at what you wrote and he then started badgering me asking me what was so funny. If someone rings the office he will stop what he's doing, turn his chair around to face my desk and listen to the conversation I'm having! You'd think he'd realise how annoying that is!?

It is many years ago now, but when I worked in an office, my boss used to creep up behind me and pull my bra through my blouse or jumper. He was a real churchgoer too! What do you do when it is your boss? He was always asking me when I was going to get married. At that time I had not even a boyfriend. I suppose I used to turn him on!! Sylvia xxx

Andrea - That sounds just like him!! He's supposed to be on a diet but he goes to tesco at lunch and sits in his car scoffing food, his car's full of rubbish. Then he comes back to the office and eats crisps with his mouth open... I daren't eat near him as he is obsessed with food and always wants half of what I have!

I think I work with his sister..... she is very irritating listening into everyone's calls and even interupting to add her two penny worth in!! :O)

I worked with a chap who used to pick his nose and wipe it on his overalls lapels while eating his sandwiches, he had bad breath that could cut through metal, we knicknamed him laser breath, i feel sick just writing about him David

I think there must be a family of them. Am about to eat my Thursday afternoon treat and I can already seeing drool at the corner of his mouth... wait for it...

OMG Elf, the 'scab' story is awful! I worked with a guy who used to fart and belch most afternoons, was continuously running down his wife and family and sometimes wouldn't talk to you for weeks (which was a relief!).

Bet you'll be glad when it's time to go home, hope you haven't got much longer!.

Sorry about the stomach churning scab folks - tee hee! Elfxx :-)

He just stopped working and sat there and stared straight at me making masticating noises! I have to stop myself from shouting at him... The good news is only 4 weeks more and then I'm off!!!! WWHHOOOO <bec cartwheels with joy>

Only 50 minutes then I can escape! Don't get me wrong I'm an extremely tolerant and easy going person but this guy just drives me mad! Now he's doing his classic 'swinging from side-to-side on my chair kicking everything my feet come into contact with' thing which he should know is annoying. The worst thing is the constant belching/quiet burping. He's just a mass of gas!

I used to work with a chap called Huw. he was horrible. Lived in a student house (Oxford) even though he was late 20s, lived like a student too - down the pub every night, his regular diet was several pints and a takeaway every night. Appalling breath, terrible wind, used to have shirts with tears in and stained pits. Hands were COVERED in warts. YUCK. He started going to the pub at lunchtimes, and was useless in the afternoons - turned out he was smoking things he shouldn't. Got the sack shortly afterwards when security caught him smoking it in the office :)

Paul - this guy has no excuses!!! Am just so sick of hearing his constant bursts of gas and heavy breathing. He also has the most annoying voice in the world and I have to do audiotyping! Only 31 minutes...

Who's in charge of Health and Safety at your place? Go to them, tell them this nerd's annoying habits are causing you pain and discomfort and ask to be moved to an alternative site. Tell them it is a serious complaint and you are very unhappy. Leave the rest up to them. If they cant or wont help, well...............just shoot him! Jacqui ps only 20 mins to go now

Breathe in, breathe out.... calm. Think happy thoughts! Oh bugger that! Just whack him one!!! LOL.

I work with someone ( not every day, thank God, but often enough) who does a "stream of conciousness" throughtout the day - "Now, where did I put my pen? I must do that paperwork, bet I didnt put the dustbin out" and so on. This is done in an undertone but just loud enough for me to hear.It drives me insane! Also, you cannot have a conversation with him, he just talks over you, having got hold of the wrong end of the stick anyway. Worst of all, though, he reads the paper and picks his nose - I want to heave just typing that! I frequently go home in tears.I am trying to drum up some support, to say I have been acting funny lately, then when I murder him I can plead insanity.

that sounds like the most irratating collegue ever.what i would do is get a dictaphone and record all his annoying belches and anything else he does.record it for a week and play it back to him.hopefully that will show him what an annoying b*****d he really is!!!!xxxx(:
