Annoying Sayings/Mannerisms
75 posts back to top |
Posted 8 months ago Does your boss or coworker have an annoying saying and/or mannerism that just drives you crazy? For example, my boss ALWAYS says "We are gonna get busy!" It just gets under my skin every time she says it. So, what, am I NOT busy now? Do I just sit here all day with my thumb up my butt? Also, she always makes this noise that sounds like "BAAP" every time she goofs up. Oh, and I cant forget about this one coworker, her name is Paula, and she just gets on my nerves! There's optimism and there's stupidity, and it's a fine line |

| Posted 8 months ago Haha thats hilarious! I know I can't make it through a day without you. I go through withdrawls on the weekends. You should see me, I just sit in the corner in a fetal position rocking back and forth screaming "Paula! Paula! Come Save Me, Paula!" while weeping. There's optimism and there's stupidity, and it's a fine line |

| Posted 8 months ago I knew it. You're hooked on Paula, yo. You won't be here tomorrow. What do you expect me to do? I'll be weeping my little heart out. I know, right? "And so, the lion fell in love with the lamb..." |

| Posted 8 months ago Ok guys I got another one: Why is it that smokers can take 5 or so "smoke breaks" a day, whereas the non-smokers are expected to not take any kind of break (other than lunch) throughout the day? What if I want to relax for about 15 mins and tell a coworker a joke? Can that not be my 15 min break? I guess not because everytime I so much as giggle someone comes running in warning us that we shouldn't be laughing, its perceived as not working. WTF?! There's optimism and there's stupidity, and it's a fine line |

| Posted 8 months ago Yea and they basically say we can get fired for laughing. How pathetic is that? Just because you're a sourpuss who has a horrible, miserable life, doesn't mean you have to rain on everyone else's parade. Get real. "And so, the lion fell in love with the lamb..." |

| Posted 8 months ago I know someone who seems to ALWAYS say, "Hmmm?" or "Huh?" after just about everything they say. The way they say it, it seems as if they are trying to illicit a response when it seems redundant, tedious or completely nonsensical to even respond. I mean...they will start telling the story of their "profound" day and after each sentence utter, "Hmmm?" as if you have asked them a question. It's one of the most annoying things I have experienced in the ways of mannerisims and weirdness from people. Other than people saying yo all the time...I never got that...very annoying. "Yo! Hey man, yo, man, how you doin' yo?" Come oooonnnnn. I hate it when people expect answers to rhetorical questions obviously not understanding the subtlty of rhetorical. |

| Posted 8 months ago I thought of more. Loud chewers. Not just so much the people that chew with their mouths open but the ones who make all sorts of slurping, sucking, disgusting sounds when they chew, the ones that grunt and slober and breathe as if they can't slow down eating long enough to breathe normally and have to hold their breath while they chew and grunt. It's disgusting. The most annoying of all to me though are the people that ask obvious questions after you have stated the answer... example: I cut my finger. or people who say things that....don't need to be said unless your IQ is under 75...example: I'll go get that out of the basement. Nah...since we don't have an elevator I thought I would teleport down there and use my magic bottle I have the moonbeam fairy trapped in in order to see.

Someone once said a million monkeys using a million keyboards could reproduce the complete works of William Shakespeare. Thanks to MySpace, we now know that to be entirely false. A computer lets you make more mistakes faster than any invention in human history - with the possible exceptions of handguns and tequila. |

| Posted 7 months ago Using "huh" as a response to a comment. Like: Person 1: "Man it was really hot today!" Person 2: "Huh!" Or when people in WoW respond with "kk" instead of just "k". (you'll have to be a WoW player to get that one) |

| Posted 4 months ago I used to work with a guy who would randomly start laughing, or talking to himself. And I'd think he was trying to talk to me so I'd be like "What did you say?" and he's just like "Oh no I was talking to myself" or "I was just thinking about something funny." The first couple times were ok but it starts to get annoying when you constantly think someone is laughing at you |

| Posted 4 months ago Or how about the guys that fart and belch and then don't even say "Excuse me." I mean it's bad enough that they are farting and belching, sometimes at the same time, but when they don't even apologize, that's just disrespectful. Unleash Your Mustang Side! |

| Posted 4 months ago I cannot stand when I go to help a user and they take off and soon I sit down. Sometimes I dont even realize it. I sit down to "drive" and I am talking to myself like an a-hole. I often need more info...or they need to enter a password....or when exactly the problem occurs. ...and when did people thinking for themselves and using common sense? |

| Posted 3 months ago If you are really annoyed about your boss saying We are gonna get busy, you could always just say "Thats what she said!". You can never go wrong by following Michael Scott's way of doing business.
Personally I hate classmates who think they know EVERYTHING. I really hate arrogant people and especially those arrogant people who don't seem to have an inside voice. Any annoying comment that comes into their heads they just say it out loud. That to me is infuriating. I mean, I sometimes know alot about certain subjects but I don't act like everyone else around me is incompitent. |

"Chillaxing" WTF?! I think I would kick the sh*t out of anyone in my office who said that to me. Do you remember the scene from "Office Space" where Peter is talking to Lawrence, and Peter asks him, "When you come into the office on Monday... "Sounds like a case of 'the Mondays'?" The look on Lawrence's face is priceless as he says, "Sh*t no, man. I believe you'd get your a*s kicked for saying something like that, man." |
