IN BRIEF: In this post we look into the kinds of colleagues who make your life at work extremely challenging. We mostly cover the silly things people do which make you go hell for leather.
We are at a mid of a week and we have all the reasons to be busy with our work. But, there’s one reason why we dread going to the college and/or work; it is that one super annoying, hell spawn colleague waiting to make life miserable. We all deal or have come across at least one of these as follows:
1. The Whiny Whinerson
Alone Hi is depressing with this colleague. They can whine about almost everything. Ranging from the uncomfortable soft chair to the pencil on their table, yes…I mean the pencil they own. It always the lights are to bright or too dim, the global warming and how it keeps their coffee warm for long…there’s no end. You will only enjoy these people when you are a shrink and making money every hour.
2. The Know-it-Alls
Your opinion? Yea, nobody asked for it. And yet they are there to tell you all the why’s and how’s of everything. Seems like they have acquired a joint PhD in Math, Sociology, Economics, Psychology, Physics and wait, not to forget, Annoyance! Their cat phrase being “I told you so.” Yea, you told me so, you always tell me so, ever planned of becoming an Astrologist? Might as well make some money out of it.
3. The Poke-a-nosers
4. The Who’s the Stupidest of All
Yes, it’s them. It’s not in terms of their IQ, but my gosh so stupid. You tell them to proofread that mail you sent and they’ll ask questions like “even the grammatical errors?”
“Yes” “oh, and also the placements of ‘and, but, however,’ right?” I mean, lookup proofreading in the dictionary kept on the left of your desk, all covered up in dust….just like your head.
5. The ‘sssh, I have news’ Gossips
6. The Pinocchio Challengers
7. The Group Troop
8. The Chatterbugs
9. The Bossypants
This type of fashion is available in the market now at the price of the nickel for everytime someone has asked your list of people you wish were never born.
They never let you RIP. We all work on deadlines and they know the work will be submitted one day before yet, you have them over your head like a fan filled with all the euphemisms of “complete your work”.
Oh, and if the work assigned is done, they have a list of stuff ready for you to do. These people make you regret your talent of doing something right or lets say existence, in general. You’ll never know what they do as they keep dumping their stuff on others.
10. The Couch Potatoes
If you feel I’ve missed out on some, mention that in your comments and stay tuned for Part 2.
