Oh gosh.. where do I begin?
I sit next to a girl who went BSC on me last fall in the middle of the office. Don't ask me how she still has her job considering that embarassing incident, the fact that she's terrible at her job and everyone else has to jump in and do her work, one of her reps she works for won't even pick up the phone when she calls, and she's highly obnoxious because she's super immature and loud. The whole office dislikes her, yet she has no idea and she continues to prance around and yell out/exclaim in her valley girl sayings/voice. She's 24 but seriously acts like she's 14, it's awful..
She also cooks the smelliest food in the kitchen which explodes all over the microwave which she NEVER cleans up, and she's the only one to leave a mountain of dirty dishes in the sink.
We tell our boss all the time that the whole office would have a much better atmosphere if she were gone...
The guy who sits next to me is extremely dramatic , he is constantly arguing with his partner on the phone,he also gets all up in my biz with what I'm doing at my desk and comments on whatever food I put in my mouth. He drives me nuts.

lolz who doesn't love overhearing a good domestic dispute while at work?
i feel ya though.. there's a chick I've maybe talked to 3 times in the last year and one night I get a text from an unknown number saying "so I'm getting a divorce". I was all "who is this? if I cared about you I would have your number so, good luck with that". Turns out it was said chick at work. She got my number from our emergency contact list. At lease she hasn't bothered me since...
I really have 8 bosses right now. Before you tell me that's a line from Office Space, I really do have 8 bosses. I have one manager I report directly to and 7 dotted line managers.
I pretty much want to beat my head on my desk the majority of the day. The only saving grace is that I now work from home. If they suddenly made me start commuting again, I'd quit right then and there.

....and this is why I love my job. I work with about 3-5 people on a really constant basis and I LOVE them. All the other agents are in and out - some I never ever see.
There are a handful that I don't really like, but they're here for maybe an hour every few weeks and then they go away. I don't really have a chance to ever be annoyed at them. It's awesome.

We have something called metrics where we need to document everything we do all day, and we get weekly scores or %s of how productive we were - primarily with contact with clients.
I have a couple coworkers who routinely put in 1 hour long EMAILS. No! it doesn't take an hour to write an email!!! And they do this around 3 times each day. So their scores will be at like 90% and everyone else's are at 50%ish because we don't fudge it like they do.
Hm, maybe she should lower her standards a bit more and just worry about them having all their teeth in their mouth, lol. Oh and a working schlong that won't run away at the sight of all the cobwebs her vaj has accumulated after 30 years.

Stuff like this really irks me. They want you to spend time tracking the work you did rather than doing more work. Pointless process. If people aren't doing shit it's really easy to figure out without having them chart and graph their work.

Yes! It's so obnoxious! But we are government contractors so we need this apparently to justify our jobs. HA! However, it's total BS.... I SLIGHTLY fudge it because you HAVE to just to meet the goal of 50%. Example, I call someone and leave a message, I put in 15min phone call - because I was told to do that. But I'm definitely not sending an email that took 5minutes to write and counting it as 1 hour! Then those people with 90% look much better than the rest of us but the rest of us just refuse to blatantly lie like that!
The woman in the cube next to me chews gum with her mouth open and narrates her entire life out loud. I know way too much about her, solely from her talking to herself.

agh. my old coworker used to do shit like this (she was fired, because of this kinda stuff). she would troll facebook and dating sites all day while at work and verbally comment on things "oh no she didn't" "ewww i cannot believe this dude wants to get with me", etc. etc. She would then watch videos others posted and then get on our WORK LINES and call up people to discuss what she just watched. it is literally mind blowing what some people think is appropriate work behavior....

I may DD this.... but my boss's 16 year old daughter is going to intern here over the summer.... and she gets her own office. There are 5 of us now that don't have offices... and she gets one. AWESOME. My CW's are more annoyed with this than I am. I realized you have to pick your battles and this isn't one I think I can win, so I'm going to try to ignore it. It will be awkward enough with daughter of the boss around all the time.

Wait. The 16 year old intern gets and office?? Thanks for setting her up for real life dad!

Oh man... I have the most annoying co workers ever. One is constantly bringing her home drama into the office; custody battles, ex-H issues, and shes like YELLING at someone weekly on the phone. She dresses like a freakin hobo, and is a total two faced jerk. She even went as far as to comment on my time clock once (the fact that she even got a hold of that is another long, exhausting story...) to the whole office behind my back. I reported her, but of course, nothing happened, even though its a major HIPAA violation. She never supervises her visits when birth parents come to visit the children that have been taken away from them, which means they can take off with those children, and we'd be liable because the visits are supposed to be supervised. (She's a social worker, if you didn't catch that yet.) OH! Andddd.... she shoves her religion and politics down everyones throat all the time. I am even mostly in agreement with her beliefs in politics, and still can't handle her rambling.
OK, that's ONE of them.
The other one has panic attacks over stupid shit like "if I marry a white guy, our children will have blue eyes, and they will be teased like I was!!!!" (This is a real panic attack she had.) She is a 30 Y.O. virgin because of this. She also ruins adoption cases all the time. Our parents can't stand her, because shes so much more harm than helpful, yet, her supervisor won't let her go because "she feels bad for her" and her issues.
OMG I could go on forever...
I kinda want to know more about the "dressing like a hobo" part. I seriously LOL'd.
I used to work with a guy that craved attention in any way possible. This was...wow, ten years ago now? But we worked in a store together - and the moment a customer would come in, he would put on an act that he was nearly dying so someone would ask him how he was doing.
What I mean by this is, he would start coughing. And then coughing so hard that you swore his lung would jet pack itself out of his chest. Then he'd nearly fall over from coughing so hard. This always resulted in concerned customers wanting to know what's going on - and somehow, that would cause these people to talk to him for nearly 30 minutes at a time (and no, this wasn't a commissioned position or anything of the sort - so that makes it even stranger).
He literally fell to the ground one day coughing and I literally stepped over him and ignored him to help a customer. The customer just laughed that I did it, but I was tired of the game. Our manager just didn't care that he was acting so oddly.

Please tell me you know where this guy is now... I am completely intrigued. Like, is he in a fulfilling relationship? Is he still at the store pulling the same act? If repeat customers came in and he did his thing.. did they eventually catch on?

Oh my YES. I have a nice little update on him.
He stayed with the company for years and years. Some customers eventually caught on that it was a massive act, but it actually scared away a lot of customers...who really wants to walk into a store and see an employee act like they're dying in front of you?
He eventually started dating his new coworker's (I'll call new guy R) wife. R was fired for stealing money and the day he was fired, he found out his wife was cheating on him with coughing coworker.
Kicker was, everyone but R KNEW that coughing guy was getting it on with his wife and was TELLING him, but he didn't believe it.
Did I mention that the wife was 22 and the coughing coworker was 52? And coughing coworker was their photographer at R's wedding (R got married about...hmm...two months after he started working there, needed a photographer, coughing coworker just randomly owned a point and shoot and became the photographer)?
He also smoked like a chimney and I swear to God if you cut him open, he would be 50% blood and 50% Mountain Dew based on how much of that soda he consumed.
Coughing guy eventually moved out of the state and I have him on FB as a friend, mainly for amusement. He married the 22 year old and they now have a baby. I was pretty skeeved.
Quorra- I am SO glad I asked. My brain is still trying to wrap around it all. And furthermore..why this 22 year old would fall for a crusty attention seeking spaz? Or was she wacky too? Was her ex kind of normal? I just fail to see the appeal. How long had she been married before her and coughs mcgee started banging?

LMAO Coughs McGee! Love it!
He really started flirting with her after the wedding and it was a situation where he was an older single guy with extra money and I have a feeling she was attracted to him lavishing gifts on her. She wasn't the brightest girl, and still isn't. From what I can tell on the pictures she wears her daily allotment of Care Bear and She Ra shirts and dresses their daughter similar. NOT THAT THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH WEARING THOSE SHIRTS! But...you know...we need to grow up a tad now and again....
Her ex was a really quiet and nice guy, but he didn't seem overly adult, either. He was also 22 at the time. They were married for less than 2 years and the affair started within three months of the marriage.
Coughs McGee also had a very bushy fu manchu type beard, so add that into the crustiness factor...wtf was she thinking?

Poor ex do we know what happened with him? I'm hoping he left that place once he found out about it all? So coughs mcgee is in his 60s and has a baby with a young 30 something year old?

Yes ma'am. And R is newly remarried and is expecting a daughter of his own now. His wife looks pretty normal.
