| I get on well with all my co-workers. Only problem for me is that there are two females that can't stand one another and are always complaining to me about each other over the pettiest . I like them both but having to work with them bitching about each other all the time pisses me off. |

I'd have to say that, for the most part, it's the same for me. Although, we're a small company and have gone through several people that didn't "fit" to get to where we are now. |

I am the annoying co-worker.
I regularly make personal calls that last for 5+ minutes. I spend all day surfing forums and then get into angry rages close to deadlines, despite weeks of procrastination beforehand. I pull all the annoying pranks.

What are some good ones you've pulled?
A guy in our office was on a health kick for a while, and kept bringing in boiled eggs which he'd crack on the desk and then eat. One day I slipped out and bought a fresh egg and switched them when he was in the toilet. He got yolk all over his keyboard.
There was a big scandal here in Australia a while ago because a famous footballer named "Wayne Carey" was caught touching a chick's boob. We have a guy in our office with the same name, so we got three people to call him up and abuse him all day. When he asked where they got his number, we got them to say "it was written on the toilet wall at Flinders St. Station".
Our mail gets opened by a secretary and then circulated around the office by hand. I got a speeding fine (company car, all infringments come to the office) in the post one day, so I scanned it, changed all the details to that of a co-worker, and then for three successive days I slipped "speeding fines" into the mail addressed to him with bull details of when they happened. The prank ended after he sent a letter to the civic compliance department abusing them.
With the same guy, I also put a trojan on his computer giving me remote control and spent a whole day trying not to laugh when he complained to everyone that he had a virus and that his CD drive kept opening randomly. He's known to be really with computers so no-one believed him. Once or twice an hour I'd make a message pop up saying "Unhandled error number 532av6" or something like that, and made sure that it couldn't be closed or minimised, then as soon as he went to get help, I'd get rid of it. Fun day.
Another one that happens pretty frequently is people sending emails from other people's computers, such as "my wife just filed for divorce and I'm back on the market. Not sure if you've noticed me, I'm the tall guy with glasses who sits beside the window. We should go out for a coffee" etc.
Far and away my favourite is logging onto an sexual dysfunction website based here which is very well known, signing people up (incl. phone number and full name), and then listening in when someone calls up and says "Hi, I'm such and such from AMI, I'm just calling about your erection problem, can I book you in for an appointment?"
Post your good pranks. I'm out of ideas and need some new ones. |

the current company I work in is pretty nice. A fresh new environment with a whole bunch of nice people, especially a good number of South Africans (one of our major offices is in South Africa). However, I do have some pet peeves ......
* A program manager who has "0" customer service skills when she talks with our clients. She talks lazily to them, such as shortening words, no proper linguistic, and doesn't close her phone conversations in a proper manner. She says goodbye in a very lazy way.
* I usually like a tranquil type of environment when I am working, because it helps me concentrate. I don't mind the occasional sound here and there. But please. When you have 3+ people around you who have their freakin Blackberry alerts go off loud like crazy, then that's a different story. Please. Can you set the phone to silent or vibrate?
* Some co-workers come next to me when I'm heating my lunch, and ask "whatcha eating?" and "smells good.". I'm not really much of a small conversation type of person. Sorry. :( |

coworkers who have masters degrees in computer science (and therefore are probably making more money than I am) asking me questions about simple memory allocation (and why their code keeps segfaulting because they are trying to access memory without allocating it).
That, and when you're answering their question, they try to finish your sentence and get it wrong (of course). It's like the interrupting cow knock knock joke, except it quacks instead. |

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 that comes out of his mouth is just pointless bitching.
he also drags his feet when he walks. :mad: |
Sounds like me, especially the feet dragging part.
No wonder I was asked to leave! :p
I liked most of my co-workers. We had issues about work things, but for the most part most of just did our own things and that was that.
Management sucked as co-workers. One of the partners would walk up and down the office complaining and fighting with our biggest client. The only reason he got away with this is because his dad ran the client company. The other one smelled funny... |
