Anyone work with any weird work colleagues? Anyone who irritates the living p1$$ out of you?

One guy I work with he’s a bit of a conspiracy nut - thinks everyone is watching etc, he’s a pain in the arse. Will never stay to help out, he is always wanting ‘babysitting’ - does my head in!

Needed to vent there lol

I work with a lot of people in CyberSecurity and find they are much use as tits on a fish, and offer very little value in regards to their technical competencies.

I would like to push them all through an airlock.

Loads , a few who boost about how amazing life is out of work , then work 6 days a week on a night shift

One says he’s got 500 k in the bank but it’s tied up so can’t spend it lol

One who’s got elvis record valued at 1 mil in his house , and he’s a dj for the stars on a weekend

Everybody has a weird colleague.

You might be the weird one for some.

Weird is not necessarily a bad thing, but he doesn't sound like a team player.

That's is bad.

Yep! Well when I did work. The one who was always too hot but dressed for arctic conditions anyway. The one who was always too cold but wore light summer clothing all year. The apple cruncher. The yogurt pot scraper. The sports top drink slurper. The if I do it badly they won't ask me again person. The little boy lost who thought if he said he was hopeless women would do it for him.

Phew! I'm so glad I've retired.

But you haven't retired from the nudge-nudge wink-wink?

Good lord no! Although wink-wink is a little difficult since yesterday's rendezvous with a surgeon

I'm probably perceived as being that colleague but I'm hoping it's a job thing instead of me personally.

Oh god you’ve given me triggers now - I GENUINELY have bought these ear plug things because often Mr Tin Foil hat eats and drinks so noisily it makes me feel ill so these ear plug things are supposed to reduce the noise triggers

We have a guy who's been doing the same job for 20 years but is unbelievably incompetent. He spends at least 80% of his day on his phone on social media/ WhatsApp. He often has no idea of what's going on in the office as he's too busy scrolling. Managers see him on his phone and say nothing. We reported him to HR but he still does it.

Titz Towers, North Notts

I've worked with a few over the years, as have we all and I daresay I've been the weird one for some.

I started to type out a list of folk, but realised it just read as if I was getting stuff off of my chest about people I've not seen for 20 years.

Worked with 1 guy for a month who told me on my first day we worked together that he would take coffee enemas twice daily. Whatever works for you dude but like don't tell me that shit on my first day. I spent every subsequent day, whenever we had to work together, thinking 'does this man have coffee in his ass?'

St Albans/ Welsh Borders

Yes! I work with a 32 year old and a 21 year old, both quite needy. They are always lying about the other one.

If I have a half day the shit always seems to hit the fan....walked in one morning fine and when the other went lunch I was getting told 'how lazy the one was, how she didn't do anything....OK do I need to allocate tasks? Or I don't know'

The other came back and that one went on lunch, same story, 'omg she's so lazy, hasn't done anything, refused to help when I asked'

Ugh just do your jobs like you get paid for!

The drama spills into the weekend. Saturday afternoon a WhatsApp popps up

'Hiya have you heard from Clair?'

Nope.

'Oh she was meant to meet me, we're going out'

Oh

I've rung her, messaged nothing'

Oh

Next thing Clair pops up,

'Ooh Sophie has passed me off!

Oh

'I was meant to be meeting her but now she's meeting chelsea, not going now, going to bed instead.

Oh

Monday both got told in no uncertain terms to grow up and get on with the job they are paid for and any messages on a weekend won't be responded too. I asked if they needed me to mediate with them? Get the bottom of the issues buy both said 'Oh no, we're fine'

Situation is being monitored
