Co-Worker Vent

[kwelch10377]

I really think someone is trying to punish me. I have co-workers that sit on either side of me that just drive me nuts. One is actually part of my team, the other works under the Copy and Print team (I work for Staples). We actually call him Random Copy Guy since everyone else who sits in my section works in Store Operations and he was just randomly assigned a cube in my section.

First of all Random Copy Guy smokes, which normally does not bother me. The girl across from me does and I can never tell after she has been outside smoking. Well he use to come in reaking of smoke, that is until he started putting on this awful smelling cologne. Seriously this stuff smells worse than the smoke. He also has this fan in his cube that makes the worst squeaking noise, it drives me and several other people nuts. One day when he was in a meeting he left it one and we went in his cube and unplugged it. When he came back he thought it was broken and we didn't have to hear it the rest of the day. The next day we came in and it was on, I guess he figured out it was just unplugged.

The girl who is on my team is one of those people who is always talking very loudly to herself about what she is working on and feels the need to comment to herself on things. She also is on the phone a lot for her job, so I hear her talking non stop all day long. She also is always complaining about how much work she has to do and how she is always behind, but she easily spends several hours a day making personal appts and plans and talking to friends. I have managed to find out more about her than I ever care to know. She also has very non work appropriate ringtones on her phone and refuses to turn off her ringer at work.

Both of my cube neighbors are also just gross. Neither can manage to somewhat control their hiccups after they eat. They are sooooooooo loud when they do it, I can hear them down the hall. They keep saying they don't understand why the keeping hiccuping, ummm it is because you enhale your food. I've seen both of them eat before, so chances are that is the issue. There are also certain other bodily functions they don't think twice about letting out. They also both feel the need to cough up phlegm at their desks.

This is just a sampling of what I deal with on a daily basis. It just drives me up the wall. I seriously could have daily posts about them.

My coworkers drive me crazy too! Lots of gum poppers and loud eatters
