I work with a woman that DOESNT STOP EATING ALL DAY LONG .. she's not big (about a size 12) but God, her mouth doesnt stop ... if she's not eating, she's drinking and it drives me mad!!! Everytime I look up her mouth is moving :XI get so vex sometimes because its just not a nice thing to look up and see EVERY DAY!!! Right now as I'm typing this she's eating her LUNCH (12:30 pm) out of an ice-cream container .. her head is down ...OMG I cant type anymore ..I feel sick!!!!:P

Oh yes!!!!
I hear you.
There is someone in my office that is always singing, whistling or talking to themself, and i just sit there going mad!!! How can someone love the sound of their own voice so much????
Then there is another one who ALWAYS has to lick his finger to touch any piece of paper!!!! I HATE THAT!!! Then people got to touch the paper after you with your nasty spit bits on it!!!!!
His breath stinks so bad as well, it is like ammonia!!!! Actually it is worse, it smells like he has performed oral sex with his wife in themorning and kept his mouth tightly shut till he got into work!!! (Dang!!!!) and he always wants to talk up in my face!!!
Peace~

@ Athaba
Sis, maybe it is not too bad as you may be able to sing, but this person has to make ANY song sound like black people opera!!!!! They are always wailing (that is a better word) and then they'll stop and you'll think "Thank you Jesus" and then they'll start whistling instead, then chatting to herself !!!! (always in that order).......Some days when you're trying to crunch your numbers it is just too much and i want to jump on them like Spiderman and just throttle, throttle, throttle!!!!..............
anyway, that is off my chest now, so i will just get back to work and think evil thoughts instead!!!! lol
Peace~

On the issue of evil thoughts...what about when you're under serious pressure to complete stuff to a deadline.. You come into work ready to rock, you sit down intently at the PC, you get going and in just when you're mid flow...Some arsehole insists on attracting your attention and then begins without being invited to relay their banal story of what happened last night/weekend/last week. Regardless of the serious heavy hint that is dropped about work, nothing will deterdem carrying on regardless chatting pure fart in your ears...and the worse thing is that this type of person INSISTS on giving you the whole story verbatim, with blow by blow account of what took place, who said what to whom and even the blasted weather for gods sake!!!
Eventually when dem mout' tired fi talk, they decide to leave you in peace (THANK GOD!!) but then you realise that your whole flow is now gone, AAAAARGGH.....Especiallythat excellent thought you just had on the tip of your tongue that you now desparately can't remember, but you knew it was just perfect for that report...
Don't you just want to drop kick dem sort of people over the nearest office table, Jonny Wilkinson style....
Can i get a amen up in here pleeease!!!

Amen - pastor Kunjufu has spoken bighairlol(what u said is true though.
Errr? Soft to the touch.... where do u work, lol, that biyatch u describing sounds like me! lol, I have drinks, crisps, chocolate, sweets, popping candy, biscuits, pastry. U name it its in my desk, and Im constantly at it, but in my office they like it, they come and take their fill and we all cool, but since ur not cool, I guess I should move desks? lol.
What I hate is the one who makes/receives phonecalls and shouts into the receiver so that even if I have a client right in front of me I cannot hear a word my client is saying, or if Im on a call I have to cut it short until the colleague is off the phone, wouldnt be so bad but their desk is qway over the other side of the office. amazing.
Another one,isthose people (remain nameless) who just refuse/forget/cannot be assed to bathe their skin before them come ah work ah mornin time. we have some serious anti-perspirant loathing, serial body odour offenders in my office and I cant tek it, I keep impulse and vanilla air freshener in my desk just for them. Its especially bad when the heatings on and like how summers coming? Lard GOD! lol
one Love

I was actually gonna bring up that one, the saps in my office and there are a few who stand and stare at the photocopier baffled, dont even know how to switch it on much less, change the page sizes etc... then they dont know how to transfer phone calls, cant work the guillotine, complexed by the paper shredder, dont know how to send a fax, have not retained the knowledge or ability to open/send e-mails, cannot print out their work.........I even have to talk them through step by step how to use a stapler, lol the list goes on and on and its so damn irritating.

I used to bring lunch in from home,but I stopped because there wasa lady that I worked with. She was a very nice, friendly Irish lady unfortunatelyevery lunch time she'd come over to my desk saying,
'mmmmm.. what do you have today - I can smell it from across the office'
and then she proceed to point at the contentson my plate asking things like,
'what's that orange thing? is it a Carribbean delicacy, you like alot of gravy don't you?'
she'd be standingover my desk throughout the whole time, whileI tried to eat. I'm thinking 'P off will you!' Icould never be accused of encouraging herbecause I never responded except to say yes or no,but she nevergot the message.Maybe she was waiting for me to offer her some! Whatever her reason, she has certainly put me off bringing lunch in form home!

right this person i work with just seems to have no morals and has issues with race and equal rights ok.
firstly he thinks that being single means that all men should be out shagging prostitutes he constantly talks about sex in the most un-moral way possible. anything normal i say he seems to turn it into some sexual inuendo. he's one of those come on get your jugs out.
plus one time i was reading a black newspaper and teh sports section was about a black fottobal union or something hear him now....people are always saying they want equal this and equal that so why do they need seperate clubs etc it should all be one thing. i began to explain but his immeditae interjection just meanty his mind is not on a level so i thought i need to save my breath.
he realy irritates me he basically is so childish and no concept of adult conversation
Think outside of the box...Think in spirit
Act as if it were impossible to fail!!!
