Colleagues with dirty fingernails, unkempt hair, unkempt look especially men

Men holding/scratching their crotch while talking angry shocked
A boss with smelly mouth and will be getting closer to you when talking; I always sit far away from him during meetings.  I don't know how to give him the hints about his Oral bombing

Senior colleague dropping work on your laps with difficult timeline and expecting you to perform a miracle

People eating food with very strong smell in the office  e.g. Efo Riro, Ofada rice, Akara etc and with no courtesy of aerating the room and using air freshener

People who get late to meetings and think they're cool undecided

People who wear flip flop slippers around the office while leaving their 'Shoe' at their desk.  Wear comfortable shoe for Christ sake; it's really not cool especially with ladies (reserve your 5 -7 inches stilleto for the catwalk/runway show during that special event not as an everyday office wear

People with Body odour; we used to have a Tea Girl with very strong BO who was recruited by the office Skunk (like beget likes).  Having bought her deodorant severally and counseled her on hygiene without result. I personally fired her!

People who don't mind their fucking business. They always poke nose into your work and also try to intrude into your privacy angry

Na wa oh. So if I open a business in Nigeria I will have to schedule firing squad every friday. Ridiculous to say the least. I will take my employees out for free lunch because all of a sudden I appreciate them more. The bosses even seem worse that the regular staff. Imagine usine a phone and dropping it on the table. hia.


I hate when people lick their fingers and then page a book. It irritates me. From the way they fix their lips and get the spit to when they rub it on the page. Just gross in my opinion. It is even worse when the book is not yours. Thank God for Kindle

The notion that we're all supposed to ogle the photos of your co-workers children. ie " Oh isn't he/she just cute?" " what a cute little girl" Meanwhile the baby might be not so "cute" looking. Then everyone goes on about "Oh Jess brought her baby's pictures in; You've got to see it. She even took a picture with Santa" Blah blah.

Unnecessary small talk. Seriously that is not why we're here at all. grin
Whiny co-workers. I can't deal!

Annoying Terry G ringtone.

Taking my snacks from the fridge.

asked to work once for this lady at the office temporally though. Not only is she senile, making tons of mistakes, but she literally thinks she has to spoon-feed me how to do Excel or Word projects. I was raised on those programs while you were using type-writers and carbon copy paper you old woman!

Top of the list always has to be those people that talk loud through their phones without even realizing. Geez I dont need to know that you now have a normal menstraul cycle or that you dont like your wife's father etc.

Talkative and a loud one at that, singing at the top of her voice, can argue till death even if she knows nothing.

My former boss, she wouldn't mind giving you her hand bag to hold. Also, backbitters, eye service, chewing gums, loud ring china tones, "over sabi & busy body" Friend's each one of us is guilty in one way or the other.

I cant stand people who gossip about u , then they act like they dont even know u when u say hi to them. im like, whats up with that? grin

Also the "i too know" people. All they do in the break room or the lobby is tell everyone tcares how their trip to the Bahamas, Paris, or Egypt went. And no, they are not telling u to share the fun, they are telling u so u know theyve been to soooo many places. i think its just not necessary. undecided

My supervisor that has to keep touching me while talking. I HATE people touching me without my consent. His own can reach poking and expects you to look at him while he talks. SO annoying. and the guy can gossip. I keep telling him to keep his stories to himself but he can't. He looks into my screen every 10 mins.

I used to sit beside him but moved to the next office cos i just cant stand him. He asked why i moved and i told him that i wanted to be nearer some other colleagues so we could share information and research.

He is so unpredictable and tardy. He is ALWAYS late. He has never gone early for anything including coming to the office by quarter to 9 just before the main oga. He can wake up in the morning and tell u to go for a meeting with a client by 9am and we wont have even fixed the time with the client. He pisses me off so much that i want to ask for a change to another department. I cant stand him and i have not learnt anything from him.

lovely thread

what i hate in my office are as follows

my boss asking u;can u hear me?;after everything she says,expecting yes ma all the timeeven at the most mundane issue or conversation

this particular boss in my office who does not acknowledge the greetings of junior staff,he just stares at u blankly when u greet him(promised myself not to greet him again,but i did this morning)

then the ass kissers,wow this girls takes it to another level,calling our female boss to gist even after ofc hours

this guy tha fears all his oga,note the word 'fear' quite different from bin respectful,he fears them even when he has done nothing wrong!

@ hardleyC, i tell you. but that has stopped since few days ago o, he did it again, and i just concentrated on my laptop, then d next thing he said was "the phone"? then i said what about it? he said place it back now, then i said Mr lagbaja, dont want to mention his name, you recieved the call, so place it back, since when did that became my responsibilty? there should not be any big deal in u placing the reciever back after recieving calls, thank u. so, i stood up and went to d restroom smiley, b4 i came back he has placed it back. and since that day, he wont only place it back, but will stand up to do so smiley so u see, there are some of those rubbish that can actually be correct

​=))º°˚˚˚°ºнaĦaнaº°˚˚˚°º‎​=)):. I also have a woman like dat in my office. D first thing she asks is; what did u bring today? My reply goes; I brought food. She would ask again; what kind of food?.funny enough she would never join me to eat even when I offer her.I always wonder why she wants to stare at my food. So annoying. I always make sure she's busy before I bring out my food.

People that inadvertently drop a used paper towel on the floor and leave it there! Nasty! Who the hell do they expect to pick it up except for the cleaning lady that won't show up for another few days?
