What the fuck is wrong with you??

So, there's the old guy who whistles everyday, all day. He's been here for close to 50 years, and everyone lets him do whatever he wants (leave at noon, come in late, whistle all day) because he's old. When he whistles, it's not your normal, everyday little whistle. It's like a fucking symphony in D minor is passing over his shriveled lips and rotten teeth. It's like listening to Jimbo's Greatest Whistling Hits in high def. I've asked him to stop whistling on numerous occasions, and he just looks at me, and then goes back to whatever he was doing.

This morning, I decided I'd had enough of his whistling. So, I kindly asked him if he could refrain from doing said whistling, and he did his normal look up at me, then going back to working on nothing. Downtrodden, I went back to my business...until he started whistling again. So, thinking quickly, I very quietly walked up to his cubicle, waited for a second, and then popped up behind him yelling, "NAH NAH NAH! NAH NAH NAH NAH! NAH NAH NAH NAH! NAH NAH NAH!" I was yelling this at the top of my lungs, and it probably looked pretty cartoonish. I scared the old fart shitless, and he said, "What the hell was that?!" So I said, smiling, "What was what? Ooohh, I'm just singing a song that's stuck in my head...that's all." Then, I walked away and went back to working. I haven't heard any whistling since then.

She doesn't whistle, she humms, off tune if you can imagine that. I think she does it to simulate an image of happy go lucky, which she is not. I have started to hum with her so she can get the tune but to no avail, she won't stop, she thinks it is cute and gets louder. She has this chicken-cluck sounding laugh, what a treat.

My bosses sister hums and sings all day long. She just loves to hear her own screachy voice...Give me some pencils to poke out my eardrums.

Have you asked her to stop humming? I mean, maybe she doesn't know it's really bad. There's a girl here who used to sing until someone told her she was off key. She felt dumb, so she stopped.

She is passive aggressive and if I was to say it sounds bad, she would do it louder. One day she told me "Keep your friends close, your enemies closer." We were friends (I thought) until she said that because at that point I was confused whether I was a friend or an enemy. I treat people the way I want to be treated, that is not the rule where I work though.

What workplace has that as a rule? If anyone knows of one, please tell me, because I don't think it exists anymore.

It is my way (rule) to treat people decent. Or at least try to the best of my ability. Where I work, there are cliques. Lots of them. It is like the middle school playground. This place is very disfunctional. Here is an example of what one of the bitches said. We had ordered Chinese take out and I ordered Shrimp with lobster sauce. As I am sitting, eating, this bitch says, "that looks like puke." I told her she was rude and I didn't appreciate the comment. She had the nerve to say "I didn't think you could hear me." She was standing right next to me. No apology from her, now if that isn't a fuking bitchy remark, what is? I would never say that to anyone, never. These bitches here have no problem with that crap. Do you see why I will work with them but as far as doing anything with any of them outside of work, NO WAY.

We have one at work who clears his throat all day. I'm not kidding all day AAAAAAAGGG. Its sickening. There's another one who actually seems to cluck all day, clicking her tounge to the roof of her mouth or something strange sounding like that. I've love to go up to the thoat clearer and make a loud HHHHAAAACCCCKKKKK or get KFC and eat it in front of the clucker making sick chicken clucking noises. Ah, then again, they'd probably never recognise themselves.

I work with people who use lots of shorthand (which I HATE) and tapping... tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap

Tapping just PISSES ME OFF. I have looked straight at people and said "would you STOP fucking tapping already?" Then the asshole has to tap just a few more times just to piss me off.

Usually I find something that annoys that person, so I do it over and over until they ask me to stop. Yeah, it's fucking annoying, isn't it?

Do you work with very old people? We had a dinosouar here that used it. She was an old bitch. Mean to the bone. Had that puffy hair thing going on, like a bee hive.

If you are asking me this question wolfie, no, I work with mostly people in their 30's.

I absolutely HATE shorthand...

ppl, y r u here, ur, tho, etc... christ all mighty, learn to type a few extra words! Keyboards can go over 10 million keystrokes and they are cheap to replace.

Even on craigslist, if someone has an ad with lots of shorthand, TYPES IN ALL UPPER CASE, or anything else remotely annoying, no matter how badly I want it, I don't even reply.

Yes people, ALL CAPS IS HARD TO READ AND VERY ANNOYING. Find the caps lock key. Left side of the keyboard. Hit it, see what happens.
