Think about the person who annoys you most at work. What is it about them or what do they do exactly that grinds your gears?? There's always that one person around who, even if you try, you just can't stand for some reason.

We gave the concierge at our bank the money we wanted to give the delivery guy for our lunch...

She went through our money and gave what SHE thought was appropriate.

WHAT?

I wish I only had one! LOL

There is someone that really gets on my nerves because they are very fake. I just don't see the need for it, we don't all have to be friends and there is no need to pretend to be extra nice (to the point of really bad acting)when all you have to do is be courteous and professional.

The other thing that bothers me about several collagues is their lack of knowledge. We all make mistakes and life is a learning process, but if you don't know how to do your job...stop asking me and find something else! LOL

There is this guy at the office (I won’t name names of positions) who just can’t stand to see somebody else doing a good job. He has got to be the most jealous biggest back-stabbing wiener I have ever met. If I receive praise for doing a good job on something, you better believe he’s gonna do full scale research of my time card and monitor every little thing I do until he can tell on me about something. He’s got to be the biggest, brown nosing cry baby I have ever known.

ahhhh... there are SEVERAL. But the worst one is a woman who is ALWAYS right - you know the type. Too bad she is very naive in life and banking. She also is NEVER happy about anything. Ever. She complains about rainbows and unicorns... Whines constantly about being fat. Continues to graze all day. And eat 3 meals while she is here... Drives me absolutely insane. I don't talk to her unless I have to.

I really like everyone at my branch... there are a few people in the bank who get on my nervs from time to time, but for the most part I have very little complaints.

Copper-we have one of those...all we hear about are her numerous medical issues, yet she hasn't missed a meal in years....this is the same person who came in at 11:30 one day, took her hour lunch at 1, and left at 2. Then was astounded when she was told she would not be paid for the day (already used her sick time)

A particular higher up that thinks everything is black and white, gives you NO TIME to respond to her initial findings before she issues her final report, which has quite a bit of erroneous information....to make it worse she had my self assessment for 3 months, finally issues a report and tells me to respond quickly-she took too long and is getting pressure from above....

The low talker....

I hate the ones who are so negative about everything too, life is horrible, why do bad things always happen to me, blah blah blah.

Then there are the nosey receptionist who ask who is calling you, but then they don't tell you who it is when they transfer the call. Later they will ask "what did the school call you for?". Nosy nosy people.

Then the break room is sooo catty that I will only go to grab a soda and I am out of there. They will talk about their best friend if she isnt in the room.

My pet peeve about some of the people that I work with is that they have to be told over and over to do something and they STILL don't do it. My 4 year old listens better than they do. When the boss is gone and I am in charge, I feel like a babysitter more than anything else.

oh wait I remembered one more thing I hate:

If a situation arises that is out of the norm of the same routine these people have been doing for 20 yrs, they have to find someone else to figure it out for them. They cannot think out side of their day in and day out routine. They have NO problem solving skills. Drives me batty

I work with a man (not a boy) that grinds my nerves. He whines about everthing and thinks he is expemt from all corpotate requirements. I mean everthing from compliance training to dress code. If he doesn't get his way...he literally stomps his foot and leaves for the day...no kidding. ::rolls eyes::

AND he make more than 3x my salary.
