There's only one. She refers to herself as the Office Party.

There's an older guy here who doesn't know how to silence his cell phone. When he is on a desk phone and his cell phone rings, he just lets it ring and ring and ring. And it annoys the everliving fuck out of me. I want to break stuff.

Can't really give you an example off the top of my head but today is "casual friday" and I can comment on bad fashion.

One guy at work has openly rocked one of those skin tight Under Armour long sleeve mock turtlenecks with jeans.

I thought that was pretty dumb.

I've mentioned this before, but one of my co-workers keeps calling me Nick. I've corrected her several times and she still hasn't gotten it right.

When I was at an ad agency, I had a request to do an ad that was going to be placed in a Spanish-language paper.

I speak very poor spanish, certainly not good enough to write an ad in the language. So I wrote it in English, figuring that (as most places do) we would have it translated.

I sent it up and 5 minutes later, the woman who sent down the request came down in a huff:
"I ASKED for the ad in Spanish!!!''

Me: "I don't speak Spanish"

Her: "That's your problem, not mine. Now, I want this ad back in 15 minutes and I want it back in SPANISH, like I ORIGANALY requested!"

Me: "I cannot do that"

Her: "What the hell are you paid for?"

Me: "To write ads.. .in ENGLISH. can't you hire a translator?"

It went on like this for 5 minutes or so, until she eventually stormed upstairs to let the company owner know how I was not doing my job. I warned my supervisor and heard nothing of it ever again.

Qué loco!

Since I work with some of the best biologists around, I don't really have any dumb coworkers. Socially defunct hermits? Yes. Astoundingly humorless literalists? One or two. Weird, weird, weird, weird but pretty cool people? Absolutely.

Your occupation does not dictate intellect. I work in an environment that should technically require high intelligence, but apparently morons do slip through the cracks.

Because I once didn't mind coming to work.

I now loathe it because of one person. They were going to fire her, but apparently she 'got her shit together,' a point I strongly disagree with.

Did she by any chance reject you?

I couldn't agree more; I work at a research institute where the majority of people are holding PhDs and MScs. Morons come in all shapes, sizes, intellects and pissing you off seems to be what they excel at in lieu of their assigned job/occupation.

My own least favourite female co-worker talks in a 'baby voice' which just annoys the shit out of me. It makes me want to jab pencils in my ears or rip her larynx out.

I'm not working right now and I didn't especially hate anyone in my last job so let's pretend it's 2004.

Victoria. Doesn't like being called Vicky which I delibrately call to her face. What I don't call her to face is 'Thicko Vicko'. And what a face it is. Looks like a diseased goldfish that's been repeatedly beaten with a shovel. You'd almost feel pity for her if she wasn't so fucking annoying.

Seems to think she's my friend although I make it patently obvious she's not. Once, having e-mailed me about how good some Colin Farrell movie was, I replied by calling her a "retarded sow". Still didn't get the message.

When I told her I was studying Homer she genuinely said "oh the Simpsons?'. Claims to have studied at unnamed University despite being a) thick as shit b) no, thicker than shit c) hand writting like a baboon infected with brain rot.

Has mobile phone which only her mother call her on. Cannot work fax machine ever even when explained to her on a daily basis. Shrill, everything she says in person cringeworthy, everything she says on phone to customers even more cringeworthy. Often interrupts conversations your having with people, butting in on a completely different, uninteresting subject.

Stupid, ugly, pathetic, wretched, hate her guts.

Should have killed her with scissors.

pretty much everyone I work with, including my manager, works in some other state or country so we get along pretty well.
