Annoying Work Colleague
12 Answers
I work with a lad who i would describe as the most annoying cretin i've ever met & now i find myself getting annoyed at the slightest thing he does (the way he walks, sits, eats, etc).
I don't know what to do to stop it annoying me so much.
He always tries to better a story someone else might be telling. If you've been to Tenerife, then he's been to Elevenerife.
Loads of other people at work think he's a prat but i seem to be the only one who can't ignore it.
What can i do to stop if affecting me?

(cakes, what she made for dinner last night/is making tonight, shopping, clothes, celebrity gossip - and she's in her 50s but thinks Posh Spice is the best thing in the whole world). I've worked with her for about 12 years and about 2 years ago I figured a way to deal with her. When she starts, I just look at her and in my head I visualise a cartoon version of her. I have an Elmer Fudd style gun and when I pull the trigger I see an explosion of feathers and hear a chicken noise in my head. Sounds bizarre, but it makes me smile and she doesn't annoy me quite so much for a while ;)

You're already doing that by getting it off your chest here :-)
I have a similar thing with one of my housemates, EVERYTHING about her irritates me: she coughs and sneezes all over the place without putting her hand over her mouth. She is a "heel walker" so evertime she walks past, it goes "Boom, thud, boom, thud..." she's a raving christian, she walks around talking loudly on her mobile as if we all need to hear it, she rips bits out of the bread with her picky-bum fingers - and what's most infuriating of all is that she is one of those "wouldn't say boo to a goose" harmless types - so I can't dig at her without looking like a total wonker!
