    thats the problem with relatives and co-workers..you cant choose them...
    ..drink a glass of pink lemonade and ignore them...
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".

    I don’t really have any annoying co-workers. I’m a people person though, so what annoys you may not annoy me. :D
    Don't come closer or I'll have to go

    My only problem is, I literally work right next to her...it's HORRID!
    I go through a mental breakdown almost every day!

    I wonder how many people don't realize how annoying they are?

    I mean everybody is annoying to someone else... everyone finds someone else annoying
    usually those not like ourselves or those we are envious of for whatever reason.

    "Birds of a feather flock together" ... “Envy shoots at others and wounds itself”


    best way to avoid being annoyed ... remain positive
    turn it to a plus and ignore the rest

    When you're being annoyed by them as they're speaking to you and the time comes for your reply, say, "Do you make your lunch or take the bus to school" and walk away.

    Annoying co-workers seem to be at every job I have ever had :-) but the cure for me is to get some Pearl Jam stuck in my head (my form of meditation). That, plus not focusing on the clock, may help ease the stupidity-induced headache others bring to you :-) good luck and hang in there!

    Thank you! I do play my music from my computer. I have to keep the volume super low but you're right, getting some music in the head does indeed help. Just listen to the music and shut out every other noise around me..

    worked with a real witch-bitch
    when i was new and she would withhold information so i would make mistakes
    she would make disparaging remarks out loud deliberately to bait me
    what worked best was to ignore her
    sometimes no reaction is the best reaction
    fuck 'em if they can't take a joke

    I too have an annoying workmate who sits right next to me. The days when she's not in the office are SO much nicer! I'm desperately looking for another atm anyway(not because of her, because the job sux - crap $, boring...) so a kind of consoling myself with 'hopefully not for much longer'.....!!

    I work from home so I don't really have to deal with co-workers that often! :D
    I do have some annoying-ass managers who call me up and piss me off from time to time though.

    Honestly, people really shouldn't have to endure working with someone in such a close vicinity! No matter how nice people may be, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, every single day (except weekends obvee) should NOT happen! I can't be around friends or family members that often! A little separation is all I ask for.
    At least so I can play my music :D I can't play a lot of them cause she hears it. :(

    Same here - work from home 3 days a week. No annoying co-workers here, except the dogs when the mailman comes.
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.
