I work with one of these. We refer to her as and ask-hole (play on hole)Or ask you a question and then go on to ask someone else the exact same question. I work with someone who goes around asking different people the same questions until she gets the answer she wants.

Iāve been at the same job for 2 years now and thereās one woman who works there who hates me for no apparent reason. At Christmas she gave everyone a Christmas card (literally everyone) delivered them round the office, including my colleague sat next to me, and just walked off like I didnāt even exist

Wow, she sounds a right douche!Iāve been at the same job for 2 years now and thereās one woman who works there who hates me for no apparent reason.

this!!! I have set days at work, and Iāve asked for a random set day off. Why? Well I have a job interview. Stop asking me!
me too!!! I either go to my car or go and sit in the corner with my AirPods in. I want 30mins of bleeping peaceI'm also going to sound SO miserable with this. At work I liked to spend my lunch times reading, watching netflix on my phone or just chilling. I used to hate when people would sit with me in the kitchen and talk. I felt bad when it was my work friends but I just wanted quiet peace away from everyone.
Literally just check the name!!! You can type it in
People who sits in the office beyond office hours when they don't have nothing to do
So many people in my office spent their day chatting tit and making countless tea and stayed back after 5.30pm because they are so 'hardworking'
The thing I like about pandemic= WFH

I have my own job but I also do the bookkeeping for my other half's business, does that make him my colleague? If so, the annoying thing he does is not write down any of his takings then expect me to bleeping know it all.
A woman I used to work with went to get one of these allergy tests done which unfortunately told her she was allergic to literally everything and started on an extremely restrictive diet of no egg, dairy, gluten etc. I felt bad for her but her diet literally became her only topic of conversation 
it was relentless
it was relentlessI have another one also... thereās a lady I work with and every time someone gets their lunch out sheās straight over to your desk āwhatāve you got for lunch today then?!ā Everyday you can see everyone thinking ānot today Satanā
I used to work with someone like this but she would also comment on the nutrition values and portion sizes. One of my colleagues was petite and ate small portions and this witch would comment daily that she needed to eat more. We all hated her.I have another one also... thereās a lady I work with and every time someone gets their lunch out sheās straight over to your desk āwhatāve you got for lunch today then?!ā Everyday you can see everyone thinking ānot today Satanā
Or people that email then call you 1 minute later if you donāt reply immediately
I left my old job because I had a colleague who was just a literal nightmare. She was always careful to save her outbursts for days when management were working at other sites. She'd complain about her workload (even though I actually did a few tasks that were within her remit because it was easier for me to do it than to have the battle with her). She would yell and scream about all sorts of things, have complete meltdowns about her boyfriend having to go away for work. It was constant. She was always bitching about other colleagues while pretending to be nice as pie to them. I was really friendly with her initially but I just couldn't ignore her behaviours anymore ( I also found other colleagues difficult to gel with, they were a bit cliquey but nice enough). I'd try to pacify her when she was having meltdowns, tell her to go and take a 5 minute walk to calm down, she never did. She wanted the attention.
She'd constantly be emailing managers asking for a payrise, and not understanding that she was underperforming. I earned a little bit more than her, but only because my role was a bit more specialised and technical (she was first line support in an area, I was second line support in a slightly different area if that makes sense). I didn't realise how much she actually resented the fact that my role paid more.
She then started saying stuff that made me so uncomfortable. We had a colleague who bless her heart was lovely, but just really not great at the job, so would ask questions a lot. It required a lot of patience. My other colleague would be nice to her face and then one day she turned to me and said I can't bleeping wait until she leaves, bleeping witch. There were other instances like this. We were having a move around and the person taking my job was going to have my desk, and she said she better bleeping not sit next to me that cow. Then turn around and ask her how her wedding planning was going and how excited she was.
Anyway, enough was enough and I actually ended up signed off work for a couple of weeks because it was another thing stressing me out on top of other things going on. I came back and wanted to leave so had applied for other jobs. While I was off she'd gone around telling everyone in the office what a complete witch I was for not telling her that I was going on sick leave (yes, really). Things all started coming out and it was clear she was playing colleagues off each other. She'd talk about another team to me, but then she was talking tit about me to them. She said I was overpaid and a stuck up witch. She had said awful things about my colleagues such as because they were privately educated, they didn't know how to socialise in a real job etc. We ended up making a complaint to management about it (she was underperforming, so an investigation was already ongoing). She had a meeting with management the week after I left and apparently she went absolutely ballistic and said I'd conspired to get her the sack or something.
I hope to christ I never see her again, she is just horrible and I'm still a bit sensitive about it all, this was almost 2 years ago. Thankfully in my current job, everyone is pretty relaxed and I work in an office on my own!

Maybe i worked with you or you worked with the same woman i did!Now my husband is working from home due to covid I've noticed how annoying he is! He bangs the table with his fist (only lightly) when he's talking to people on the phone and it makes the table shake and bang against the wall. Highly annoying when I'm sat on the other side of the wall! He's also so bleeping LOUD. I'm like mate your clients aren't deaf, tone it down!
I'm a parent and agree this IS annoying! Me and my husband work it between us and for the tim3 we can't get leave, we use the childminder, grandparents etc. I used to work with a woman who had 3 kids and worked term time. Her kids were 18, 16 and 13. Absolutely no need for her to be off for the whole summer. It was a civil servant job as well so we were open all year around and noone else could ever get any time off because of her
i also worked in the civil service for a short time and there was a woman there with 3 kids all teens ( eldest being 18)and quite capable of fending for themselves that still worked part time and term time only.
she was barely in the office as she often seemed to have medical issues (one of those that know how to play the system!).
We were public facing role - she used to leave all the crappy elements of her job to someone else on her days off - then kick off if it wasnt done how she wanted! she was just toxic and caused lots of tension in the office.
Toxic people have always been my main motivator for leaving a job.
My most favourite job ever was working in a packhouse one Summer a couple of years ago (freelancing got very quiet so I decided to do something a bit different just to keep the money coming in); I have never met a neater crowd of people. A lot were backpackers; some were older folk who were traveling around NZ in campervans and looking to make a bit of money for a while ... it was just very chilled out and although we all worked hard, we got on fabulously which made the day pass fast. The people who owned the orchard were incredibly nice ... they'd always provide fruit platters and bottled water for us at break times, and put on a big BBQ at the end of the season.

It's been many years since I worked in an office and this thread is totally reminding me why I never want to again
In one job there was an admin girl who was like a rottweiler over the stationery cupboard. We all had individual computers and printers and she kept insisting on buying those refillable cartridges (do they even do them anymore?!) which were awful, smudged every page and looked really unprofessional. I often printed out something that was then photocopied numerous times which looked even worse. She had a huge thing about how we were being funded by the lottery and shouldn't be wasting money. I ended up needing to speak to the big boss in the end which was ridiculous about something so petty! She then left and they hired the most chilled out guy ever, loved him!
Same job, there was a girl who kept nicking my cup! Everyone had their own cup then there were some generic white ones for when visitors were in etc but for weeks I'd go into the kitchen to find mine missing. We weren't a big office but I couldn't track it down. Eventually found it when I went into talk to someone and there she was drinking away. Slightly awkward and again petty but I had to say something as clearly she had adopted it. She apparently thought it wasn't anyone's and looked at me like I was a right weirdo but she never used it again lol.
Actually just remembered another annoying thing about admin girl....our office was right next to a M&S Food and she'd go out, buy loads of food and fill up the fridge so you'd go to try and get your lunch out and have to move 3 packets of chicken and 20 bags of salad to find it!
Someone further up said about bananas....totally feeling that horror. Skins left in bins just make me heave. There was a woman at one job who did it all the time and was totally oblivious to the stench.

Ugh my ex boss did this all the damn time; she had zero time management skills, basically did jack tit all morning killing time with things that should realistically take no longer than ten minutes, and then tried to squeeze everything in the last 30 minutes of our work day. You'd be sorting out your desk, gathering your things and the phone would ring and she'd be asking if you can come up to her office. And we had to keep waiting on stuff because she just would not get back to anyone until the last possible moment, which meant that everybody else would be rushing their arse off to meet a deadline. God, I hated her. So glad she's gone.

This thread is too real
Iāll be back to work soon. Canāt wait to fill this thread upon my return 
It's only my third week back working and there's another lady who started on the same day as me. She's a band higher, completely inexperienced and doesn't use initiative when dealing with an issue. She will always seek help from a manager. This is annoying as I originally went for her job but didn't interview as well so got put down a band (I'm assuming)
She's doing my head in with her constant arse licking of management, questioning everything she's told (yes it's good to ask questions just not for the sake of it) and arranging lunch chats with her mates at 9am. It's cute you have friends at work but can you do this over teams chat and not near me thanks hun xox

My friend was diagnosed with something last year, I won't say what but it isn't life threatening but every single time we talk she tells me about itA woman I used to work with went to get one of these allergy tests done which unfortunately told her she was allergic to literally everything and started on an extremely restrictive diet of no egg, dairy, gluten etc. I felt bad for her but her diet literally became her only topic of conversation
Yes I knew the first time you told me
