are there people you just dont like?

[spedrunner]

at work, especially? 

I have a co-worker who just annoys me....i have a few reasons (nothing major) but over all she just irritates me (e.g. her voice)

wow. I feel like a bitch. 

Im sure people dont like me for certain things, but ive always felt like i had good intuition about people


Are there people you just dont really like? I Mean i dont want ot stab her in the eye or anything but i really have no desire to spend time with her 

(A few girls met up after work for drinks yesterday to celebrate our observations and spring break coming....)

[TrickyBob]

Yup! There is a girl that no matter what she says or does, I don't like her. She hasn't ever out rightly done anything wrong or said anything, I just don't like her. I'm not mean to her, but I'm not all "hey, let's be friends!"

When I worked, there was a girl who was only one year older than me and my word, she annoyed the crap out of me. She was exceedingly immature and gave off this vibe that made the whole office seem unprofessional.

[ndolehan]

Yes! I try so hard to be nice to her because she is the only other woman in my work place who speaks fluent English.

But she's just so rude and obnoxious that I really want to hit her sometimes especially in the morning when I am still tried.

She also loves to share personal stories, which are gross. And she lies. No joke, she's been pregnant three times and engage twice in the past year *eyeroll*. Apparently she forgot she told everyone she had a hysterectomy last year....

Yeah...there's a lot if drama army workplace....

[RoxMonster]

Oh yeah. First and foremost is the woman at work who tried to get my H fired from his job (not at our work and in a different city entirely) and has also tried to get me in trouble at work.

Then there are a few other people I just don't like because they're not good people and are backstabbing. They don't really interact with me but I have seen them do this to others.

[iamgrace]

Yes, of course. Some people have personalities that I just can't enjoy. I'm sure some people feel the same about me.

[nursewife]

Yup. I have one that constantly double checks my work, looks for mistakes, and is always telling me how to do my job. I've been there 4 years, I think I have a pretty good grasp on things! Leave me alone! Other coworkers have had to tell her to fuck off too.

Wow, she sounds nuts. I hate people that lie.

[fuckyourcouch]

Most people.

[murdock]

Yes, definitely. Especially the exhausting types.

[Deleted]

Eh, if I dislike someone it's rarely on a personal level, it's more how difficult they are to work with. For my department, there are a few people that should have retired years ago but haven't, and it affects our department's work. For my company as a whole, it's a lot of middle aged fratty guys who really don't give two shits about regulatory compliance or the environment so it makes my job exponentially harder. Generally they fight me until we're about to get served a lawsuit, then all of a sudden they want me to be their bud.

[CurlyQ284]

Two guys said ready nasty things about my friend a few weeks ago. I told them off but didn't tell friend because it would hurt her feelings. Now when we run into them in the break room they are super nice to friend. I give them the death stare and make them extremely uncomfortable until they are done getting their coffee and leave.

Other than that, there are a few people I don't like but nothing out of the ordinary. I just try to avoid them when possible.

[stephlove]

I hate my boss. Like, more than hate. I put up with it because I love my job, and she's rarely here anyway. I've even stopped caring that she takes time off without recording it... mainly because I love when she's gone.

[papie]

Of course.

This!

I "like" my CW well enough, but she's a know-it-all and there is no such thing as a "short" story w/ her.  It's SOOOO hard to have a conversation with her sometimes.  I often just try to avoid her but then make a point to touch base because we do work together and I do "need" her sometimes. 

[cuddlyevil]

There's a person here whom we don't see above a couple times a week but he just annoys everyone to their very core. He's been trying more to be friendlier so people will like him, he's super nice to me on the phone but he still does not acknowledge me if we pass in the hall.

[sneetch]

At my previous job, about 90% of the people there.

At my current job, honestly, not really. There are lots of people I think I would never be friends with, but they're all just fine as coworkers. I consider myself very lucky in that regard.

[joenali]

Yes there is one person I work with who is a bully. He is rude, talks like a washed out hippy and just annoys me. I keep hearing he is leaving at the end of the year. I can't wait to be on the interview committee for his replacement!

[mrsgoontz]

Yes, there is a girl at work that I really don't care for but more for her work habits/decorum. She's a nice girl but I don't like having to work with her.

In the general population I like very few people...It's one of the reasons FYC and I get along so well.

[cc]

I have a coworker that annoys me, but he has finally started to leave me alone. He would come into my office and just stand there, breathing heavy, waiting for me to say something. Then, he'd go into these long, elaborate stories about things I didn't have an interest in hearing about. He's just creepy.

[partiallysunny]

Yes and they always turn out to be bad people. I've learned to trust my gut when it comes to liking people/not liking people.

[Deleted]

Oh yes. He's standing by my desk right now in fact. Ever since he used the word 'retard' to describe an Account Exec we work with I haven't had much tolerance for him. 

[candreco]

Yes, coworkers, a couple of extended family members. Nothing particularly awful, just personalities that don't mesh. I do manage to be polite though, lol.

[Deleted]

I'm lucky that I like most of them. My counterpart though who I have to work with daily annoys me quite a bit. She is past retirement age and is a drama queen about everything. The kind that has to come plunk herself down in your office and tell you about all her health issues. Forget going out to lunch with her, I'm pretty sure my food is spit in regularly after she is done ordering.

[Deleted]

Absolutely. There are coworkers, family members, acquaintances. I'm always polite and plant a smile on my face but there are definitely some people that I just don't mesh well with. Nothing wrong with that.

ndolehan, I have one of those types in my office. She always has some outrageous story or TMI medical issue. I generally just ignore her nonsense but I roll my eyes over a lot of the stuff she says when nobody is looking. I'm pretty sure she lies about a lot of it and just wants attention.

She's the kind of person who has to one-up everything. "Oh, you went wine tasting last weekend? Well, my FIL owns a vineyard. In Italy. He offered us the villa and we stay there all the time. And the hired help feeds me grapes off the vine while I lay across the huge bed in one of the 20 bedrooms and they wash my feet with perfumed oil and there are famous people living next door and we have brunch on Sundays and when I was a kid I saved my neighbors from their burning house and the mayor gave me a key to the city. But I bet you enjoyed sipping that Merlot."

Yup! Exactly how she is - isn't there an SNL skit about a lady who tries to one up everyone. I can't think of the name, but it's pretty funny! 

She also been working at the hotel I work at for a year longer than I have - and she's pretty bad at her job. She gets super pissed when I have more hours and if I'm in charge of anything. It's ridiculous, but I think it's funny that she's so petty!

I feel bad for her, that she has this need to lie about being better than others. I think she could be awesome at things, but she's too lazy. 

[open24hours]

Sometimes I feel the list of people I do like is shorter than the list of people I don't like.

[malibu]

Yes. One of my CW (and I use the worker part loosely) is the unhappiest, most miserable person I've ever had to be around. The sound of her voice (which is usually bitching about something) grates on me.

I cannot stand to be in the same room as my aunt's douchebag husband. The story behind it is too long to type out, but he's been a total dick to everyone in my family based on the drunken lies my alcoholic aunt told him.

[angelaa73]

Yes! I hate smarm

[winnied]

There are a lot of people I don't like. I'm polite to everyone, but a lot of people just rub me the wrong way.
