I have this guy who sits in the cube next to me, and he is on the phone every day for hours. Collectively for three hours and up. I can understand if you need to be on the phone to take care of personal business but he's just chatting. Every fucking day. Even with headphones, I just can't take it anymore.
It's gotten to the point where our boss has noticed and even asked me about it. My coworker speaks in Chinese, so my boss can't understand, and my boss doesn't know whether it's a chat with family or friends. I deflected my boss's inquiry by saying I don't pay attention, but now that it is getting excessive, I'm reconsidering my next course of action.
What should I do? Should I approach my coworker and ask WTF? Should I have the boss handle it?

tell your co-worker that your boss has noticed his exceessive cell phone chatting and has asked you about it and tell him what you said...then tell him that the next time he asks, you're going to be more honest if he doesn't cut it out.

He's not getting paid to chit chat on company time. Someone really should be stepping up and saying something.
Before I changed floors I had this one chick whose cubicle was outside my office and she used to eat at her desk all the time but dragged her teeth on the fork which was pretty loud and screechy. Shit. Pissed me off.
Now I just have this one guy who thinks it's funny to play knock knock ditch and walk away. Sad thing is he's 31 and acts 12. It's gotten to the point where no one answers their door anymore.

I don't really hate my co workers, but when i have to write someone up for something i hate the lame excuses i get for shit.
i used to have the most annoying coworker ever. she was one of those ghetto spanish chicks with a baby and babydaddy drama at age 22. her babydaddy cheated on her and for a period of about a month, she would come in looking like a train hit her (you could tell she was crying all night, etc..) and then she would obsessively look at his myspace page and see the other girl's comments and then she would change her status to say things like, "he may be with you now, but he'll come back to because i'm the mother of his child"...i'm not even joking either, she would write this stuff.
THEN (it gets better) she got arrested for domestic dispute. it's pretty bad when the cops show up and take the girl away on a domestic call turns out she left bite marks on his wrist...crazy bitch.
and the reason why she is so annoying is because she likes to pretend like she's all classy and educated around people who are classy and educated. and i would see her act like that, knowing how stupid and ghetto she really was and i would just be dying inside. lol god she was so pathetic. i wish i would have right clicked/save as to her mugshot that i looked up online when she got arrested. i would have posted it all over her myspace and then blocked her. lolol

He got all aggressive and smothering one night when he was drunk and got a really tight grip on my arm and wouldn't let go, so I fucking bit him, lol. This was like 2 weeks ago and it's still there. His sister noticed it at the dinner table and was like "Is that a bite mark on your wrist? "
*awwwwkward*

the guy who sits next to me is one of those perpetual whiner/complainer types. he's a nice enough guy, and every time i need his help he's very friendly. i just can't stand listening to his conversations with other people because 99% of the shit that comes out of his mouth is just pointless bitching.
