Call it engagement, fulfillment, or happiness, but a workplace can have a huge impact on our well-being and sense of purpose.

However, there are plenty of potential detractors that can make even an enjoyable job a living hell, such as a lack of recognition, a messed up work-life balance, and, of course, toxic colleagues.

So, in an attempt to remind you just how important the people around us are, we at Bored Panda have put together a collection of annoying employees who do nothing but test everyone's patience.

A superior once demanded I make coffee. But I don't drink coffee. Sure, I'll make it... is it six scoops of coffee? Nevermind, I'll do it myself. And that, ladies, is how you break the chauvinistic cycle.

    According to research by Quality Logo Products, around 90% of Americans have a coworker who annoys them, and 57% of people have even considered quitting because of them.

    Psychologist Daniel Goleman, author of the bestselling book 'Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ,' says that handling these colleagues has less to do with how you treat them and more to do with how you prepare yourself.

    The most important things, Goleman points out, are self-awareness and self-management.

    I Asked A Coworker To Count And Tally Up Some Apparel For Me. This Is What I Got

    I Asked A Coworker To Count And Tally Up Some Apparel For Me. This Is What I Got

    I’m still glad she did it, but you’re supposed to make each 5th tally a slash through the previous four, in order to easily count by groups of 5 when totaling.

    I assumed that was common knowledge, but maybe it isn’t.

    Coworker Keeps Avoiding Paying Me Back After She Conveniently Forgot Her Wallet At Dinner

    Coworker Keeps Avoiding Paying Me Back After She Conveniently Forgot Her Wallet At Dinner

    A few weeks ago I decided to grab some dinner with a coworker. I rarely go out to eat as it's so expensive these days, but I finally decided to treat myself one night. My coworker ordered appetizers for herself, multiple drinks, a larger dinner and even dessert. When it came time to pay, we were each going to just pay for our food but she conveniently forgot her wallet and just sat there staring at me. I’m an awkward person and I really didn’t want to cover her food in the moment because it was more than I could even afford but it was such a weird situation and she promised to pay me back, so to just end the evening I covered her bill expecting to get reimbursed.

    That was weeks ago and she keep posting on social media about going out to fancy restaurants or weekend trips but she always has an excuse when I ask to be paid back. I barely make a livable wage and being in the red because of her has caused me so much anxiety, I feel like such an idiot.

    "It's important to know what you're feeling and how it shapes your perceptions, your motivations, your actions, and whether it harms your performance or not," the psychologist says.

    "This leads you to recognize what is going on."

    By identifying what exactly triggers us, we can better anticipate them and regulate ourselves.

    If these things persist and take a considerable toll on us, Goleman suggests giving yourself a little pep talk before going into the office.

    "Okay, I'm going to spend two hours with this person who I know triggers me. It’s just this person, it’s not me. And I don’t have to react," he gives an example.

    You can also "prepare your physiology" with various practices, such as box breathing.

    "This actually shifts your physiology from sympathetic nervous system arousal, which is the stress and anxiety mode, to parasympathetic, which is the relax and recover mode," he says.

    By recognizing how our annoying coworker bothers us and preparing to deal with them, we can recover more quickly.

    "You can't control what in life is going to trigger you," Goleman says. "But you can control how long you stay triggered and how long you are upset."

    When I was between undergrad & grad school (young) & working at my first office job I had a plate of cookies given to me on my desk on a decorative plate with colored plastic wrap around it and ribbon with a bow. It was clearly a holiday gift. It disappeared. That night, my roommates gave me all the shake from their weed & I leaned to make really potent “pot oil.” I made a new batch of cookies & wrapped them like the previous and brought them to work. They sat on my desk all day & disappeared the following. All three mailroom guys went home “sick” that day. The following day, a Friday, I walked a letter that needed to be mailed to their area. Without elaborating, I simply said “glad you’re feeling better. I hope the next time it doesn’t kill you” and laughed like it was a joke. The following Monday there was a bakery made box of cookies on my desk. No one went to HR, no one made a scene.

    The study also discovered that 62% of respondents face their annoying coworkers directly in the office, making it the top spot for these frustrations.

    But it doesn’t end there. Bothersome colleagues appear no matter if you're working in-person or remotely.

    Written communication, such as emails and Slack messages, is a significant source of annoyance for 44% of employees. Furthermore, annoying coworkers can also ruin phone calls (37%) and video calls (29%).

    This is more on the workplace honestly. My swipe card for work only opens the one building I run my afterschool program in (the school hall) and the outside gates. I can't even get into the main office after a certain time in the afternoon. Makes it awkward sometimes. The school are very reluctant to give out another card, so when I occasionally get to have someone work with me, they also have to text me to get in (or go through the school office, which is more annoying).

    This must be fake. 2 of those empty rolls will fall down as soon as you try to take some toilet paper. A person who leaves things as messy as that will not bother picking them up. So it must have been staged for the look.

    Put in a requisition, make sure she gets a new ergonomically designed chair on one of the many times that she's out sick. Say that it was required by your workforce to upgrade to an ergonomically designed, back pain sparing chair.

    Sometimes boxes just don't open the way they're supposed to. Remember when milk cartons would never open where the directions said to open it? and you had to rip it open on another side?

    New Girl Arrived At Work With No Way To Get In Before I Even Leave For Work. Then Within Half An Hour Of Me Being There She Asked If I Could Drive Her Home Every Night

    She's a good worker but I am sick of people taking jobs that they have no way to get to or from and expecting me to drive them. This is like the fourth person in a row, and she knew where we were because she did a paid trial shift.

    We have 5 people here and we share the bathroom with another store next door, so it has to be emptied daily. This was day three of nobody taking it out. There’s no designated trash person, since we share our workspace and bathroom so we all agreed to "take turns".
