Annoying People in My Office

[ggw]

#1 -  We'll call her "Kathy."  She started here about six months ago, having moved back to the area after her fiancee broke up with her two weeks before the wedding date.  It looks like that might have been the best decision that man ever made in his life.
 
 Kathy has a compulsive need to share the details of everyday events with whomever will listen to her prattle on about them.  Two weeks ago, it was the trauma of her car's fuel pump.  Last week, it was the ordeal of looking for a new car.  This week it is the burden of finding car insurance.  Really, the little events just act as springboards for rambling reflections on everything under the sun.
 
 She gets in early and stalks the hallways in wait for others to arrive so she can individually give each of them a breathless update of the last 24 hours of her pedestrian life.  
 
 "They said I had to have at least $100,000 in collision coverage.  Does that sound right to you? That doesn't sound right to me. I called my old college roommate, Cindy, because I remembered she had a step-brother, or maybe it was her cousin, who used to work for Nationwide.  Or maybe it was Allstate.  Cindy was a little crazy in college.  She liked to drink rum - I mean she reallllyy liked to drink rum!!! And sometimes she would let these local guys pick her up.  She tried to bring them back to the dorms a couple of times, but I put a quick stop to that.  I mean these guys were like video store clerks and tow truck drivers; I didn't want to wake up one morning to find out that one of these cretins slipped some Rohypnol in my Diet Dr. Pepper and molested me.  Anyway, it turns out Cindy's step-brother or cousin or whatever - the one that worked for the insurance company - died a couple of months ago from some form of lymphoma.  It's horrible.  I mean really....  His family lived beneath high power electric lines somewhere in Indiana.  They try to tell you it's safe to live under those things, but they're not getting me!  It sounded like Cindy was taking it really hard.  I think she might have been drinking too, cause she wasn't making a lot of sense.  I can't blame her for drinking though.  She ended up marrying one of those townies; a guy named Dwight who delivered auto parts, or pizza, or something.  He turned out to be real winner.  Not!! She should have seen it coming - I sure did.  She had twins like four months after the wedding!!!  Hello!!! Did some say 'shotgun.'  Then Dwight made her stop working cause he didn't think it was right.  But then he got fired for making a pass at some woman he was delivering to, and he spent all the money that Cindy's grandmother had left her on comic books and crystal meth...."

So, theoretically speaking, would you hit it?

My boss thinks it's ok to screech like the lunatic she is at any given time.  I mean squealing like a high school girl/hyena should not be done in the work place.  Some days I just wish I could put the mask Hannibal Lechter wore on her.  Oh the happy thoughts.....

Referring to Lost: Any sympathy Ana Lucia gained in her episode was immediately lost when she said that about Kate.
 
 ggw, I feel your pain. I feel like I've met way too many Kathys in my life.

I could give you her number if you're interested.  
 
 I must warn you that I get the distinct impression that "casual" is not in her vocabulary.  I imagine that she hounds her partner until he ends up:
 A: in the psych ward
 B: living in Sheboygan under an assumed identity
 C: dead

is it just me, or are office these little office birds generally LOUDER than their male counterparts?

michelle rodriguez has been on my "on notice" list ever since blue crush and her subsequent interviews on talk shows ... she's very close to moving to my "dead to me" list

I work with someone who will have total fits and start sceaming/swearing at you, then a couple of minutes later she'll be bawling her eyes out, totally freaking from stress. Ahhh yes, the dysfunctional coworker. I moved away from home to get away from people like this.

I work with a woman, well worked with in my office in dc, who didnt like me because I said fuck once around her, not to her, or about her, or even as in the act of fucking, but just the same way you might say damn, I apparently wasnt allowed to say it because she was a married woman
 
 she also never pronounces the names of the Indian employees correctly even though she has been corrected a million times
 
 and she just asked somebody how she gets to cnn's website
 
 she to this day calls an ipod an ipot
 
 and she fucks up on a regular basis

I worked with someone that pronounced salmon by enunciating every letter. SAL-mon.  It drove me insane.

My wife is the one in our family with all of the annoying co-worker stories. It really is amazing how stupid some of the stuff that six figure salary employees can say and do.
 
 For example, her company president, a 40something lawyer, who used MS Word as if it were Explorer, and gets confused when certain (non-Word) files won't open.

[Sir HC]

I always am amazed by people who can talk longer about something than the event was.  So one day at work could become a 16 hour gabfest if you let it.
 
 I guess if she hooked up with a deaf guy, he might survive.

[RatBastard]

I am very good at annoying people, especially the fucktards in my office.  In fact I rather enjoyign doing this.  Oh, did I misunderstand the topic?  Im so sorry.

There was an ounce of sympathy left for her before that comment? Not from here...

My favorite characters on Lost are Ana-Lucia, Sawyer, and Sayid. Fuck the rest of them.
