Lluthiunne Atalaron	Posted - 2006.08.17 10:53:00 - [1] I'am an extremely easy going peaceful guy but there are it seems some things that just drive me nuts. Tiny things that in the grand scheme of things are so paltry and insignificant. Yet they still enrage and offend me. Reality TV shows, yobs, etc etc i was used to all these but the other day i scared myself a little by the dark thoughts i was having towards a colleague. A new start who sits opposite me somehow manages with his every breath to fuel a rage within me. He's a rather 'big' man, which is an incredible polite way of describing this mans 'mass'. He eats constantly snacks all day every day. He has a drawer that he keeps stocked full of crisps, biscuits etc. I have tried desperately to ignore all this mans habits, to look away, to listen to music, but it doesn't help. I see his fingers dart around greedily searching for more food and he insist on eating with his mouth open. The satisfied mmmm's and ahhh's are the only thing that puncuate the slopping smacking noise that he makes while consuming....always consuming. I keep telling myself im being a b***d, but everytime he looks up from his den of foods, and starts talking to me with a mouth squashed full of 'stuff' and mumbles and smacks around what he's trying to tell me. My Zen like calm snaps and I have to wrestle the scarily enraged inner Lluthiunne to the ground. I refuse to catalogue what this man consumes as i feel it would be just petty and pathetic. But to give you an idea, in one of his many frequent snack breaks. And i do mean frequent He consumed 3 king sized mars bars one after the other. The noises he makes and all his little habits surrounding this continous feeding frenzy could be likened to sex and quite frankly its disgusting. I could tell some stories that would probably have you laughing but i probably shouldn't, i feel bad enough typing this. I'am trying to hold myself back here, the inner voice is screaming words for me to type. So basically i need calming down. Anyone here have to work with really really annoying people ??? What do they do ??? How do you handle it ??? I have no doubt that i have personal habits that will annoy others but it seems that some are born with inate ability to enrage others. "What?? I barely tapped him. Old people go down easy."**

Naburi NasNaburi Rens Nursing Home	Posted - 2006.08.17 11:04:00 - [3] Write down www.obesityhelp.com on a little piece of paper.. and place it on his keyboard. I wasnt that bad, but I know how bad food addiction can be..and hes definately LOST in his addiction - probably doesnt even see how bad it is. I am sure things will change once he had his eyeopener :)
Xrak Black Nova Corp Band of Brothers	Posted - 2006.08.17 11:08:00 - [4] I'm a fairly friendly person who doesnt get that easily annoyed about much. But for some reason certain people just make me click the wrong way. They annoy me, by just talking, I hate everything about them, how they look, what they say, what they do. I dont even know why. Luckily its only 1-2 people this happens with. Tell him close his mouth, lose some weight and stop eating so many snacks.
Captain Hudson	Posted - 2006.08.17 11:10:00 - [5] just shout at him, get it out in the open. thats what i do to people that annoy me, mind you im a fairly agressive person in rl and dont mind a scuffle if one comes my way

Bhaal Minmatar M.

Lluthiunne Atalaron	Posted - 2006.08.17 11:31:00 - [8] I should state that this man has absolutely no social graces. I dont think he has a concept of personal space as he'll frequent invade it with a military expansionists gusto. Attempts at dropping hints and then openly saying one comment or another regarding his 'behaviour' is met with an indifferent smile. Its almost as if he's completely unaware of others or he thinks were joking. During a visit to the mensroom i heard the door open and a voice from the other side of the cubicle. 'Is that you ----?' 'Ummm... yes i replied' This alone is making me cringe, why are you talking to me 'ahhhh' He was sitting in the cubicle next to my own and through the noises this man was making he starts up a conversation. 'So how the prooooJJJJeeeecct mmmfff [plop] coming along' silence from my side as my mind tries desperately to correlate what i just heard. 'I hear that its oooovvvaaaaaRRRRRRRRR mmmmfff [plop] budget at the moment cant be Goooooooood mmmmmfff [plop] can it' You cannot possible imagine the face i was pulling in that cubicle. 'Bloody Hell whats wrong with you?' i said while escaping the toilets. He sat back down at his desk and continued were his conversation left off as if it never happened. While doing this i noticed his hand dip into his bag and produce a large Fruit Nut yogurt and spoon. I just got up and walked away. But anyway, enough of him. Share some of your monsterous encounters! "What?? I barely tapped him. Old people go down easy."
Tripp Orsam Dragonstar	Posted - 2006.08.17 11:39:00 - [9] Sometimes its best to be honest with someone and just tell them what you think about them, they will either apreciate your honesty and (if they like you) try and improve on the points you bring up, or if they didn't like you that much in the first place they will probably end up hating you and not being your friend anymore. Everyone NEEDS at least 1 honest friend even if they tell us the things we least like to hear but not everyone likes having that kind of friend, so I guess its a gamble what you decide to do in the end. Remember there is more than 1 way of telling people what you think, obviusly you can call them names and mock them but its better to bring them down gently. I have a couple of family members that are quite large and I sometimes remind them that being overweight is bad for your health and they increase the chances of heart attack and stuff like that. I guess this way shows I care about thier wellbeing and not just how they look. ----------------------------- EVE Online perfectly strikes all your free time wrecking your 1994 marriage.

ReaperOfSly Gallente Lyrus Associates Interstellar Starbase Syndicate	Posted - 2006.08.17 11:52:00 - [11] I can't say I've ever met anyone that enrages me other than my parents. They tend to assume that what they are saying has infinitely more importance than mine and just start talking to each other in the middle of me saying something. Ticks me off no end, that does. And on the few occasions where I lose it, thump the table and yell "I'M TALKING HERE!", they just look at me as if to say "How dare you interrupt me?" --------------------------------------------------------------------

Kalahari Wayrest	Posted - 2006.08.17 13:06:00 - [13] Edited by: Kalahari Wayrest on 17/08/2006 13:08:17 If they irritate me and I like them or are comfortable around them then I'll have it out with them and feel better. If it's someone I don't know or like, oddly, I have a harder time being rude and just try and avoid them/suck it up Unless they go too far, then I punch them As for your problem...as you're trapped with him...If he's not picking up on the signals you're giving him then you either need to make yourself clear or just get used to it, not great options and if it was me I'd probably wuss out and put up with it until my actions were beyond my control edit: omg at the bathroom story that's entirely too far, punch him __________________________ Indulge Me

Needless to say, I stare blankly ahead, or stare right through the man now, I think hes finally got the message, that even on work related subjects, I want as little as possible to do with him.

Suberus Caldari	Posted - 2006.08.17 13:15:00 - [15] For years, I have tried to behave well, do the right thing, be sensitive to peoples feelings...and it never bloody worked. Some people just never get the hint unless u make it so abundantly clear in no uncertain terms. Now I have a rep for being blunt, and not suffering fools gladly :( Fortunately now, my work colleagues have learnt that Im ****ed off, its best to stay out of my way :)
Scrofalitic One Total Warehouse Logistics Dusk and Dawn	Posted - 2006.08.17 13:15:00 - [16] Something I have done a few times in the past to relieve the anger, both at the occasional colleague and with very very rude customers, is to get their home address and sign them up for anything and everything you can think of, the junk at the back of magazines is good for this. All the book clubs. (especially send him dozens of diet books...) Collections of velvet covered paintings of Elvis. Franklin Mint rubbish. Jehovah's Witnesses. Marxism groups. Anything and everything that will get idiots calling on them, or junk through the post that they don't want and can't use, that requires no credit card details to sign up for. Petty? Yes Satisfying? Yes Untraceable? Hell yes :)
Harkwyth Mist Caldari The Black Ops	Posted - 2006.08.17 13:17:00 - [17] Originally by: Bhaal I would just yell out loud so that everyone in the office can hear me: "My GOD man, you chew like a ***** COW!, I can't concentrate on my work here!" hahhahahhaha u sound just like the running commentary in my head i like to think of myself as easy going provided everyone leaves me the f* alone seriously tho, change the lock on his snack draw, then when he goes mental trying to get into it complain to your supervisor that his unstable behaviour makes you nervous and could he be moved, like to another company. The one thing that winds me up something chronic, is stupid drivers. i'm taking my test next a week on saturday, but there are people out there swear couldnt have passed. but i have perfected ust smiling and raising my hand in a 'thank u' gesture, but i'm mental sticking my fingers up and swearingloudly out the open window... i'm considering investing in a neon sign on my roof-rack that says 'YOU WNKER' that i can turn on for people that annoy me.... anyway soz for the mad rant, but if u cant give him the hint, then there is an old milit'ry saying, it is 'tough sht for you' Harkwyth Harkwyth Designs: Personalized Sigature Design
Ethidium Bromide ZEALOT WARRIORS AGAINST TERRORISTS Curatores Veritatis Alliance	Posted - 2006.08.17 13:36:00 - [18] take a picture of him and make a blog wait for the comments for a week or two then send him the link Zen like calm should be restored _________________________________ just because you are not paranoid doesn't mean i'm not following!
nahtoh Caldari Bull Industries	Posted - 2006.08.17 15:07:00 - [19] Revenge pure and simple, make it as simple or as complicated as you want. Also I do enjoy reading these stories BOFH stories . In my last place i worked we had theworldsmost whinney co-worker, I swear even her body languge was petulent. Nothing was ever her fault, it was not fair... When the romuor that she had had a nervous breakdown went round the office you nevver seen a happier bunch of people I swear. Think of ginger threads and then cube it, you might beable to comprehend how anoying she was... ========= "I am not saying there should be capital punishment for stupidity, but why can`t we just take the safety labels off everything and let the problem fix its self
5hakey The Led Zeppelins	Posted - 2006.08.17 15:08:00 - [20] My preferred method of dealing with people who ** me off is to write a song about them (no not a poem ), invite them to the next gig, and introduce the song as dedicated to said person. Needless to say, a lot of people me off. Ive had bad experiences in the past, so simply assume that everyone is an ***** until they prove themselves otherwise....Ive written a lot of songs Cryin' won't help you, Prayin' will do you no good

Cathath Forum Moderator Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2006.08.17 15:15:00 - [21] I feel sick. I hate people who eat like that I work with three other ladies, one of whom likes discussing the development and removal of her bikini line, one who enjoys telling us exactly what she did the night before and with whom, and one who phones her doctor regularly from the office phone to discuss her latest medical ailment. She also phones her partner and speaks to him in a baby voice. It's weird. None of them I wish to feel quite as intimate with as I do now.

Kindakrof Caldari Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2006.08.17 20:54:00 - [22] I have one guy at work. I describe him as this: His biceps are about as thick as my fingers. He is 30 cm smaller than me (around 160). He's ugly as ** and i don't feel bad for saying, 1 year older then me and still a virgin (17 yo). He acts like big tough guy tho, "ye we goin downtown and get laid 'n stuff" .......... and he doesn't have any respect. I pity him wich is why i haven't rearranged his face. One day he was IN THE WAY! (working in a hangar) I asked him to move. He didn't so i bumped him. "What the hell you bumpin in to me for you *** idiot" i said " Just get out of my way please" i said exploding with annoyance and having inner voices screaming for the use of brute force. he replys "Just *** ask next time you mother**" I don't wanna let him just all over me and walk away with it so i said "Wow, how annoying you are you little piece of **" and he approached me, and got ready to swing a fist at my face. I readied myself placing my hand in a defensive position to block his punch. He swings... and at the last moment he decides not to just inches away from hitting my hand. GODDAMN IT THE ONE MOST DISAPPOINTING MOMENT OF MY LIFE I wanted to break his jaw... i know i'm evil --- --- --- my sig is pr0 Thanks for the lemon
PR0ELIATOR	Posted - 2006.08.17 21:38:00 - [23] Edited by: PR0ELIATOR on 17/08/2006 21:39:50 I got a kid at school that always rips on me because im enlisting in the National Guard next month. "Why the hell are you going into the infantry? Are you an idiot?" "What do u wanna fight bushes war for anyway?" "You are just going to go to basic and become another brain washed baby-killer." He also acts like he has to try and 1up me because im doing one of the most interesting things out of anybody in the school atm and i think he is jealous because he is one of those 'mr. cool' totaly head up his own ass types... Whenever a girl talks to me about it he always tries to butt in with his anti-war rhetoric and Abu Gharab(sp?) horror stories and how evil military people are and how being in the military turns u into an ***** and military husbands beat their wives and he brings up all these bull** statistics... One of these days im just going to unload and punch that kid in the face...its gonna feel so good too... But for now i just educate everyone about whats really going on and what the military is really like behind his back. Then when he comes in with all his lies trying to smear me he just looks like a tard. edit: he doesn't really 'enrage' me though. B4 all this he was an ok kid. Im still gonna rub my fingers around my privates and stick them in his mouth every chance i get...just for kicks.

Lienzo Minmatar	Posted - 2006.08.17 23:50:00 - [26] Oh my yes. 1)Bipolar people with responsibilities. 2)Hypomaniacs. 3)People that don't understand the elementary concepts of digital filing. On a server. 4)Capitalist Avengers & libertarians. (Smugness or self-righteousness I can handle, but only one at time.) 5)Batman. Bust a boardmember for once Captain Carnegie. 6)Anyone with more than 2 phone numbers. 7)Sales reps that followup compulsory upgrades. 8)Anyone who's concept of group task process analysis starts and ends at "make someone responsible for it because I can't keep up with what you're doing." 9)Any corporate officer or business owner that blithely ignores everything process engineers deduce, and then suggests the same thing two days later but with none of the efficiency-related changes included. 10)Whomever it is that is responsible for adding bitter artificial taste to ordinary poisonous substances. Republic Fleet phases out obsolete Vigils.

Has worked for me once or twice when I have got the anti infrantry speel... I should. Though i dont think he believes what he says, i think he is just trying to bring me down and bring himself up. Generaly i just ignore him as much as possible. It appears he feels inferior to me now after spending the last 2 and 1/2 years at the head of the roost(almost everyone see's that though so its not like i have to defend my position), idk why though, he's the best athlete in the school and gets a 4.0+ every year(i float around 3.5 at best).
jbob2000 Gallente The Taining corp Knights Of the Southerncross	Posted - 2006.08.18 03:27:00 - [28] I work as a camp counsellor for a Lego Robotics camp... Anything you guys think of, I promise you, I can match it. Some kids are just so stupid it is unbelievable. Fine, they're 10 years old but it is just so rediculous. For example, I told this one group exactly what they had to build. "Build a tower to mount your motor on" I say, then the response is "How do we do that?". IT's JUST A FREAKIN' TOWER!!! GRAB 10 LEGO PEICES AND STACK THEM FFS!. My usual response, however, is to just build the stupid thing in 5 seconds and let them continue. Also, it is crazy at how many kids just don't want to listen to you. Almost to the point of wanting to kill yourself. Another example... I was showing this 12 year old kid how to do the programming for the robot. I had explained everything, shown him examples, told him what icons to use, what order to put them in, basically everything short of actually writing the program. So he claims to understand so I walk away. After taking 5 steps... "DAAAVVEEE, I don't get it!" And then there are the snotty stuck up 10 year olds. Holy crap, dont even get me started. They think that they are always right. Example: A kid wanted to build a conveyor belt. Normally, this can be accomplished with 1 motor of course (taking a tank tread and rapping it around two wheels with the motor connected to one wheel). This kid wanted to use 4 motors for some reason. He claimed that no matter how he or his partner built it, it would need 4 motors to work. He had no design and couldn't explain to me how he was going to use the 4 motors he just needed to use them. I explained to him that using 4 motors will not make it run faster/be more powerful, they will not make it stronger, 4 isn't need to make it go reverse and forward (they're electric motors and can be reversed with the programming), then after he didn't believe me about that, I even explained to him that there were only 3 power slots on the robot brain, so 4 wouldn't work. "It needs 4 motors". I gave him the 3 extra motors and watch him fumble with it for 2 hours (yes two hours) before he came and asked me for help and admitted 1 motor would be enough. I then told him "No way, 4 motors is the way to go". Anyways, I'm done. More horror stories to follow if requested :P
