I think every office has their requisite pest. That one person who without even trying annoys the living piss out of you. Our’s is a French guy who likes to ask personal questions about everyones lives and have lenghty conversations while you’re trying to work so he can try and look down your top. I’m told this is a French thing.
Suzanne, I’m never mean to anyone. All the annoyance stays in my head. And am I annoying to some people like this guy is? Maybe. But I’ve been told I’m a morale booster in the office, so it’s less likely. 
Wild Blue, one of my coworkers is French and he’s actually a funny, cool guy. Maybe he’s an exception. Is your French dude a snappy dresser too?
I work with two French guys and both are rather more discreet than that, Wild Blue.
Every office has some undesirable annoying person. If you liked everyone, well, who would you talk about at the coffee machine?? 
"Do you know certain people who, for some inexplicable reason, they just irk you?”
Yeah. I married him.
I think it was the sex.
LOL…
J, you’re so funny!
Weenie, actually I never gossip to any coworkers. I just whine on my blog where it does no harm, and I get it out of my system. As far as <i>they</i> know, I like everyone there.
I have a knack for attracting people like that, and they’re like leeches. No matter how badly you want to get rid of them, you just CAN’T.
Now that I think about it...I just may be that guy....(sniffle)
I work with an entire building full of fucktards like this. Thank God for ipods as well as internet radio and DOORS. Meetings with these people are the WORST. I’d rather be drug naked behind a pack of horses through gravel into a vat of alcohol than sit in meetings with these dumbasses.
Uhmmm...I might hate my job or something. Heh
Yeah, I know people like that. There are so many of them in college, it’s sick. They annoy the fuck out of me. It will only be worse next year at a bigger school. Sorry you half to work with that moron.
I could go on for hours about this. We have a few of these people at our office and I’ve written about them quite often. The one I haven’t written about (in fear she might read my blog) is the girl who walks into my cube 3,4 even 5 times a day and stands there hovering until I look up from my work. Sometimes she won’t even wait for me to look up before she startes poking me in the arm or yanking on my ponytail...seriously...are we in 6th grade? How do some people not know they are annoying?
PS
I’ve been playing with blogexplsion (your fault) and haven’t even earned enough credits to put it in the blogwar...but I have succesfully rented it out for a whole 10 credits (yep, I’m cheap)
I am the only female in an office of 9-which is in and of itself annoying enough. But (two) of the guys go the extra mile to annoy me. I have an in box--A BIG RED BASKET kind of box. One of these two guys always asks, “where should I put this?” while the other always spends several seconds looking for a spot on my desk, finally settling on putting the item right on top of whatever I’m working on. This bugs me even more than when they stand right outside my door reading a new fax (machine right outside my office) edge to edge-before deciding to whom it should be delivered-and of course 3 of 5 times it’s me and we’re back at the annoyance listed previously.
My word is NUTS--you bet!
can’t relate...i don’t find nerds annoying unless they have body odours or dislike you or talk bad behind your back.. other than that.. some guy standing in front of the printer which happens to be close to me wouldn’t be annoying.. ok..chill ! He may have some good info for you if you get to know him better…
May I suggest a chill pill for you? Or maybe you can dig deep and find at least one good thing about the poor geeky fellow who has such bad printer etiquette and makes such unfortunate noises.
But yeah. Every office I’ve ever worked in has at least one irritating weirdo. I think it’s some sort of office ratio requirement. I try to look at them as an opportunity to practice patience except for the times I really just want to take a baseball bat to their head. Do you ever wonder if you play that role for someone you work with?
