Normally I would feel bad for her, but she is one of those people who talks 24/7 even when people aren't listening to her, and being socially inapt leaves her constantly mumbling about how dysintary effected people in world war one etc...Seriously i sit next to her for hours not saying a word and she just keeps going. Its been so long now that i sometimes tune her right out, then wake up like 45 minutes later and realize she has been talking to me the whole time. On top of that she from time to time comes up behind you and just hovers over you and you sort of catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of your eye, then realize she has been standing behind you reading your facebook for the last 5 minutes. Also she can't really connect with any of the girls that work here so she usually ends up trying to get in on a conversation and winds up insulting the other girls unknowingly, so ya...she sucks.
some people just newb life... | which gym do you work at? ill take your job haha.
im fortunate to work with people i like, even though some of them are a bit wierd at times, but there isn't anyone that i don't like. everyone at work is pretty chill

when i worked at a local 24 hr convienece store (large chain), the store was losing money. our manager got replaced by a dickhead. he would park across the street before his shift and sit there watching us work. we knew he was there, he didn't.
he even sat there on his days off, just watching.
he would actually take the security tapes home at night and watch them in their entirety. Eventually ALL the original staff quit, including myself. this left him the sole worker of this store. can you imagine?
I ran into him at another branch of this convienience store in Richmond a few years later and almost reached over the counter and hammered him, but my cooler side prevailed.

at my current job there's a guy that will not stop talking. non stop all day, even during lunch when is mouth is full of food. He believes himself to be a genius and has to let everyone around him know his ideas and thoughts.
routinely he reads a newspaper and spouts this info out as his own knowledge, and gets it WRONG.
he's constantly invading my personal space and has horrible breath. He also likes to tap you in the arm when he talks to you...repetedly.
as an experiment (while he talked to me) i took really tiny steps backwards away from him. as he continually tried to tap my arm for emphasis on his stupid conversation, he kept inching closer.
id take a step away, he'd follow..
FFFuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..........

^ imo part time jobs are the ones with the biggest idiots. In my case I think my co worker's pissed since she's working full time as a teacher and part time at the gym to make ends meet; she realizes that she's not going up in the world. Quote:

lol few ppl i work with need to be tackled... or kicked in the face... either or.
this one guy i work with must have been dropped on his head as a kid cause i had to tell him 4 times to do something.. after the 3rd time i go and check his work and all he did was put it away.
I got so frustrated i grabbed it and threw it infront of him and said WTF i thought you said you finished. All he could say was OH.. with a stupid look on his face. Left a big mess after he was done and thought he could just bounce.... AGH!!!! lol

Well somehow, we landed the same job for the same company with the same shift etc. and so we would car pool to work in my car.
Many times when i came to pick her up, she wouldn't be ready on time due to trying to get her hair just right, and so those times we were late to work. When carpooling isnt the right thing to do is split the gas or at least the parking cost? Well this bitch rarely paid for either. So ungrateful. And everytime we got there late, the moment we get to the parking stalls, with the engine still on, that bitch would exit the car and head for the doors because she was scared of being late (go figure eh?)
Now what really bugged me was that she was always this cranky bitch around me and our group of friends but during work, among our co-workers, she was always this out going, friendly person which shocked me cuz I was like why the hell are you so nice to these almost complete stranger but such a pain in the ass to your real friends? Although i never confronted her on this cuz I figured she might be turning over a new leaf but no, it was just a front for these people at work or some sort of sad attempt at making new friends.
So anyway, a few months into our job we both still worked together and car pooled and get this, i get fired for being late one too many times while she keeps her job cuz she managed to make it in just in time because she doesnt need to park the car and buy a parking ticket lol
Needless to say, her skanky ass got canned soon after. | lol holy shit. If i were you, I would have stopped picking her up by like the 2-3nd week .
you 2 still friends ? haha

There's this 1 guy at work that's a huge "know it all". We catch him constantly on topics in which he clearly doesn't know what he's talking about and then when i tell him he doesn't know what he's talking about, he'll say he does and pretends like he does. He has to comment on everything and then makes these lame jokes which aren't even funny to begin with and he's the only 1 laughing.
Whats worse is when someone is telling a story, he always has a better version. One of the most memorable ones was when 1 of the guys at work was saying how there was this place near his old house that had killer samosa's and pizza slices for cheap, like $1.50. Well Mr."know-it-all" steps in and says there's this place in surrey that's even cheaper and sells it for $0.50 with a can of pop. We all look at him with this WTF look and then I replied sarcastically "Uh, yeah. I'm pretty sure its $0.50"

Thankfully she took another position in another department of our company so I didn't have to deal with her anymore. In that department thought she wasn't protected by our boss and it was realized how little work she does and she ended up getting canned. She tried to keep her position by claiming sexual harassment from the highest person in this company. She had told me about a sexual comment this person had made to her before so of course she told the investigater this. When the investigater interviewed me I told her I didn't remember exactly what had happened but that she said he made some comment but that I just ignored it because she was the type of person to make something up to make attention all about her.
Last I heard he was cleared of all accusations, lol.

When I worked at the railway before all the lay off's, we had this janitor named Ronny. We call him Crack Head Ronny because he looked like he lived on the street despite working almost 50 hours a week and having no real bills other than rent.
This guy use to eat everyones food if it was a half hour past lunch time and you left it in the fridge.
Since you couldn't smoke inside if you were having a smoke and got called in to do something you would have to leave your smoke outside, every single time even if you just had 2 puffs it would be gone.
As work slowed down we got bored and decided to enterain ourselve's. Everyone saved there chew spit and we filterd it and put it in a ice tea bottle then in the fridge. HE TOOK A HUGE SWIG.
You would think he learned his lesson, but no. One day he actually went into my lunch bag after lunch and ate my sandwich that I was saving for last break. So I left Mac and Cheese with tuna in my locker for 2 weeks, then put it in the fridge. I was outside smoking and I saw him take it out of the fridge, heat it up, take a bite, start gagging, then throw it all out.
This brings me to my favourite Ronny story of all, we were outside having a safety meeting like we did every morning, one of the guys dropped a smoke on the ground. You didnt pick up anything off the ground outside of the office, there was everything from motor oil, to diesel fuel, a shit load of chew spit, and everyone spat on the ground while they smoked. So we all made the joke that when Ronny showed up I guarentee he will pick it up and smoke it. Somebody decided to take it one step further, they ripped the smoke open and put a zig zag there to see if he would roll a smoke off the ground. When he showed up, he swooped down in front of everyone and rolled a smoke off ground, and then smoked it while we all gagged and laughed.
I am pretty happy I have a real job now and don't work there anymore, although I do miss most of the guy's, never a dull moment around there!

how about :
- new boss enforcing a no smoke rule...then goes for about 7 of them in an hour and everyone running around looking for him.
- during crunch time with one person on each station running around in a mad frenzy, he comes over from watching for the past 5 mins at his leaning post saying "why did this take so long?"
and that's only with him.
there're plenty of idiots we worked with man!!
