We all have that one coworker who just gets on everyone’s last nerve. There are many reasons for this, and the people replying to this question have some great examples.
One Redditor had a question: “That annoying coworker — what does he/she keep doing?” More than 15,000 people wrote in with their own answers, and some of the funniest and most entertaining are included below.
The thing about annoying coworkers is that they either don’t think they’re being irritating, or they’re doing it on purpose to bother everyone. Sometimes you just have to listen that one guy in accounting talk on the phone about his vacation for 3 hours, or watch as your cubicle mate chows down on a smelly tuna sandwich. Unless they’re harming someone, there’s not much to be done about these coworkers and their mildly annoying habits.
Some of these stories sound like they would make everyone else go insane: for example, the person who listens to the same song over and over, all day, every day. I’ve had coworkers like that too, and it drives one to madness. There’s no other escape but to find a new company.
