    thats the problem with relatives and co-workers..you cant choose them...

    I don’t really have any annoying co-workers. I’m a people person though, so what annoys you may not annoy me. :D

    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 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.

    sorry Leyna...I'll try to quit breathing thru my mouth so much... :?




















    :lol::lol::lol:

    ok, seriously, we all have had to work with annoying people. What helped me was to post lyrics to some of my favorite songs on my computer...

    "You're such an inspiration for the ways
    That I'll never ever choose to be
    Oh so many ways for me to show you
    How the savior has abandoned you"

    (I only posted the first 2 lines as the girl who annoyed me was a bible thumper, and she would constantly root thru my desk when I left for the day :x )

    Pick a song...any song, when things got irritating, I'd read the lyrics and then start humming the song...since she didn't listen to that type of music she didn't know what I was humming. Keep a few different lyrics around.

    Stress balls don't work, I popped several of those :oops:
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    OMG. She is totally a loud breather too.. :|
    So many little things she does are super annoying, makes me want to tear my hair out!
    The lyrics things sounds like a good idea though! And having someone root through your desk...NOT good. She did that with my desk once when I took a day off work and I was PISSED the next day! She doesn't do it anymore. Hands off!

    so true...I realized the more I focused on something annoying, the more annoying it became! So to a certain extent we can choose how much we're going to let something annoy us and how much we even let it into our awareness. I try to put myself around the people I do like, and decrease my time around the ones I don't like. When that doesn't work I shut my door and scream :D

    It's mainly the common sense stuff that gets to me...
    Don't cut your nails in front of me.
    Don't floss your teeth in front of me.
    Don't sit there chatting on the phone making personal calls all day long while i'm trying to work.
    Or make those mmmm....mmmmm....mmmmm...sounds when eating every single time..
