Well one person in particular. We have a bloke at work who has the the ability to get under your skin with everything he does. He's nosey to the point he has to know everything that is going on, what people are talking about. He walks up behind people when on the shared computer and reads over peoples shoulders regardless of whether it might be private or not. He did this to me yesterday when I was sending an email, I could see his reflection in the screen. It really p'd me off. He always butts in on peoples conversations having walked up halfway through and comes out with "What's that then" if he can't work out what we are talking about and invariably says something totally out of context to the conversation as he has got the wrong end of the stick. Or he'll manage to come up with an idea which is a repeat of something someone else has just said whilst he was standing there.
His wife has to ring him up more than once on the internal phone at work, same times every day, one of which will be at tea break when it's nice to enjoy the quiet as we work in a noisy press shop. He refuses to answer it letting it ring for ages until she gives up, then she rings him on his mobile which he has in his pocket (wtf).
Then their are his eating habits. He smacks his lips with every bite, takes great delight in letting us know what delights his wife has packed for him for lunch, or if he has a bowl of weetabix or soup he chops at the china bowl with his spoon. In the case of the soup he pours it into the bowl to heat up in the microwave but then spends a couple of minutes draging the spoon up the inside of the ribbing of the soup tin, trying to ensure he gets every last drop.
If he has a meal from the canteen which could be exactly the same as that for someone else, his is "handsome" and it would appear so much better than anybody elses meal. Never yet worked out why he always manages to get the best one or why it is better than anyone elses.
Then we have his inane ramblings from what I can only assume to be a limited vocabluary. For no reason and to no-one in particular he will say, "Well it is." "It's all good." "You know it makes sense"..........
Well what is? What's all good? No it doesn't make sense, you don't make sense.
He starts giggling and chuckling at his own remarks when they aren't remotely funny.
He has to join in on Ken Bruces Pop quiz on Radio 2, which a couple of workmates and I like to listen to when we remember. He never gets any questions right and his answers are very random to say the least. When we do The Sun crossword, the words he comes up with are invariably wrong or just totally made up.
He does minicabing at night on weekends yet has a couple of hours sleep from around 04:30 Sunday morning then comes into work for overtime (optional) looking like death warmed up and proceeds to moan that a couple of hours sleep isn't enough for his body to recuperate.
Well ***!!!!!!!! :bang:
He always seems to forget his clock card on a Friday late shift so the foreman has to sign him in and out, then he can slip off early to grab those extra few fares on a Friday evening. Our foreman is usually quite lenient and helpful but this bloke tends to over do it with the liberties he takes.
I've managed not to work in the same area as him all week but he has still managed to annoy me.
I'm so glad work is finished now until Monday. We live in hope he has a day or two off sick, it's like having extra holiday whilst being at work. If we have time off the same time as him it is a day wasted.
Sorry for the rant. Time to breathe and relax and enjoy a weekend.
