| Expert 1195 Shelby Twp | Subject: RE: you know whats super annoying!!?? do you think for the people who are in offices also talking on speakerphone around me, that it would be too much to walk up and slam their doors? that might get the message across... otherwise, hammer would work as suggested, but might cost me some money in replacing  |

Boss: Lara where is the check for the "Structural" on site 492 Me: Let me look.. (3 minutes later) we issued it on 8-14 Boss: i guess i ment the "modification" Me: I never received a request for a modification on 492 Boss gets pissed off and storms out of my office.. (5 minutes later) Coworker walks in... Coworker: The landlord is paying for the modification, it's in our lease agreement.. i hate stupid non communicating BS going on.. I can empathize, here's one I had today: Boss: Sanity check this budget request. Me: Looks good except the #1 and #2 priorities in your spreadsheet are opposite what you have in the presentation. Boss: Thanks, good catch. <Email is sent up 20 min later w/ no corrections made> bts |

Champion 6539 South Jersey | Subject: RE: you know whats super annoying!!?? How about when someone that works in your building that you chit chat with from time to time (not in your department) walks up to you one day and asks if you want to go to her wedding, and not being able to lie on the spot, you say, "sure," and then she goes, "Good. I will bring in the invitation tomorrow, but I just wanted to make sure you'd say,'Yes,' first." And then brings in the invitation the next day inviting you - with no guest - to the wedding and proceeds to email and say to all day long, "Lauren, you haven't given me the reply card back yet." So now I am stuck going to the wedding of someone I barely know, where I don't know any guests and can't bring anyone with me, and I have to pay for a gift. Come to think of it, it's probably better I can't bring someone, b/c then I'd have to spend twice as much on the gift. Oh well, I am sure she'll appreciate me being there to share in her special day, and maybe they'll have good hors d' eouvres and dessert! |

| Extreme Veteran 359 Guelph | Subject: RE: you know whats super annoying!!?? Ok, as part of the managment team for a small department you guys are making me think. Maybe I'm annoying to....let me check..Things I do...1.) Hollar out of my office at random asking if things are done and if the answer is no,I don't listen to the excuse they've selected from the 1000 card rollodex of execuses each of them have on their desk, instead I just say "faster please" and close my door.2.) Hollar out of my office for someone to bring me my printouts. ( Can you believe I don't have one in my office, how could I possibly be expected to walk 15 feet I mean for cryin out loud I'm in training and I need my rest) 3.) Yes... you guessed it leave my door open while on endless hours of conference calls and then randomly bark at the employee of choice as to why something isn't done yet, even if I never really did assign it to them. (The deer in the headlights look is priceless) 4.) Make them talk like a pirate on talk like a pirate day even if they don't want to...and yes they have to wear the eye patch too!5.) Tell one of them 3 minutes before a big presentation to a 100 plus people they need to fill in for me, I have to attend a vendor sponsored golf tournament.It's a good thing I've got such great staff that know how to laugh and can take a joke. And yes I receive as good as I get.Hey..if you can't laugh at yourself it sucks to be you! |

| Master 3019 West Jordan, UT | Subject: RE: you know whats super annoying!!?? Here's one that would drive me to murder, but it isn't my boss. A manager in another dept. actually pounds on his wall to call his employees in to talk. if he pounds once it is for the employee in the office next to him. 2 really loud pounds is for the guy in the next office over (so 2 doors down!). I would seriously beat him to death if he was my boss. He wonders why he is overweight when he can't find the motivation to walk 20 feet to directly talk to his employees.

Zilla - 2006-09-20 7:23 PM I once shared an office with a guy (my ex husband) that constantly clipped his nails and cuticles and tapped the clippers on the desk. Clip.. clip, tap, tap, clip... clip, tap, tap.... Even in the comfort of my own home I heard it..... clip...clip, tap, tap... clip....clip, tap, tap Have they found his body yet? |

| Champion 5615 | Subject: RE: you know whats super annoying!!?? How about when several people in an "open plan office" (AKA Cube Farm) all sit on the SAME conference call on speakerphone. You end up with that delay factor from all the voices across the building and you end up not being able to hear anything. This is why I'm SOO happy to be allowed to work from home. |

Sometimes, features just automagically stop working...hahaha... The crazy thing is...sometimes the name changes on their display and outgoing caller ID. Not quite sure how that happens. Kenny |
