Theres a guy in my office who I just can't stand. The guy just won't shut up. He comes over to my office almost 4-5 times a day just to say stupid shit. I try to get my point across, but he just doesn't get it. Now I just sit there and stare at my computer til he leaves.
One day last week he was out, and my boss and I were laughing about how quiet it was without him.

anybody else going through something like this?
 
I work in an office of 20 people, all but five of them drive me nuts. I've never been around a more incompetent group of people in my lives. The biggest problem though is they are not self-aware of their incompetence and think they really are doing a great job!

I'm counting my days.....only 74 more until I am out of here!

we have 60 people in house (i support over 200 external users also) of the 60 in house, there are probably 6-10 that i would love to see leave and never come back, they are each equally annoying in their own ways.

There is a guy from accounting who will come over, stay stupid stuff and then just kind of hang around. we have found that if we start talking about (joking of course) how much we love Nascar he leaves very quickly, so we just pretend that we love nascar, its hard to do, but it works.

There is also this heavy set guy with a cheesy mustache in my office who keeps trying to tell me about his "jump-to-conclusions" mat invention. I'm not even sure what he does here, but he claims he is needed because of his so-called people skills.

I wish a car would hit him or something so I wouldn't have to listen to his stories anymore. I'm not saying I want him dead, just injured to the point where he couldn't work here anymore.

1 guy...insecure, dying to fit in...yet the biggest hypocrite I know.

Makes himself feel better by belittling the kids...which in turn makes me despise him at times and pity him at other times.

Sad existence.

Ok.. I got some good stories about this one guy in my office. But where do I start?

Here's a good one. There's this kind of boot called "over-shoe-boots." As the name says, you pull them on over your shoes. They're for if you're doing stuff in wet/muddy area and you don't want your shoes soaked or muddy beyond recognition. So this guy in my office and I are going to inspect some ductile iron water pipe near Port Clinton, Ohio. Obviously, the crew has to dig the pipe up, and it was really wet and muddy in that damned hole. So I had to get "over-shoe-boots." I found a place nearby that sells them, and tried a couple on. I normally wear size 12 shoes, so I try the size 12 boots. They don't fit over my shoes, because size 12 means it fits size 12 feet, not to fit over size 12 shoes. So you have to get size 16 or bigger to fit size 12 shoes. But the biggest size they had was size 15. DAMN! So I went somewhere else. Biggest size they had was size 14. SUCK! I went a third place, and finally found a size 16. They BARELY fit. (Taking them off is a bitch!) So the next morning, I was talking to this guy about how dumb it is that size 16 was so hard to find. It should be as available as size 12 shoes are, right? He went off on how no one has size 16 feet, they have to special make shoes that big. He totally missed my point. So I re-worded it: size 12 isn't unusual size for shoes, and size 16 over-shoe-boots would fit the same people as the size 12 shoes, so size 16 shouldn't be a special make. Everyone who wears size 12, should get the size 16 boots. Totally missed the point again. I gave up.

I have a couple of those stories. But I won't bore you, yet. (Maybe later I will.)

Great! Something to look forward to! Another Zurp story! Can't be any worse than the "Would you rather..." thread. :slappy:

My boss is insane. She is the vp of the company, (not a very big company, only four of us in the office) but doesn't do a lick of work. I've been here a little over a year, and I am already doing 95% of her work, plus all of mine. The only thing I don't do is sign checks. Anyways, she shows up at 11, if she's feeling motivated, and the first things she does is get on her personal phone calls. It's a small building, so everyone can hear every word she says. She is the loudest person I have ever met in my life. She will call 5 different people and tell each of these people the same ridiculous story 3-5 times to each of them. That's us in the office hearing the same dumbass story 15-25 times. That's jsut the beginning. She is also borderline delusional and quite possibly certifiably insane. However, I'll give Zurp a chance to tell some more of his stories.

Hey hey.. I'm quite proud of that thread. I feel it's only a notch or two below Thump's "You're a homo if.." thread.
