Your colleagues can make a world of difference when it comes to liking your job. Even if it’s not the right one for you, having nice people around makes it just a little bit more bearable. And vice versa, irritating co-workers can make you dread going to work, no matter how much you used to like it. Unfortunately, it’s usually difficult to go through life without meeting at least one of the latter kind.
When it comes to annoying colleagues, they find a million ways to get on people’s nerves. Some check how long it takes until someone else cleans up their mess in the kitchen or snaps about it. Others leave their belongings all over the place, or even create safety hazards for their fellow workers. We have found pictures covering all of that and more, showing just how frustrating some co-workers can be. Scroll down to find them and make sure to appreciate the people at your workplace that don’t do any of the things you see in these images.
In order to get a better understanding of how important relationships at work are and how they affect both the employees and the company, Bored Panda has reached out to Dr. Janice Presser, originator of Teaming Science and inventor of the technology that measures collaboration between team members. You will find her thoughts in the text below.

My Coworker Crossed Out Holocaust Remembrance Day So I Erased The Line And Used Sharpies So It Bleeds Through The Whole Calendar. That Way She Never Forgets It

Worth noting our day of remembrance is Yom haShoah, the day of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Holocaust Remembrance Day is different and on the day that the Allies liberated Auschwitz. Our day and the Roma day of remembrance should be amplified instead, because the day that the UN picked feels a lot like white saviourism. And Jared down there you don’t get to not think about things you don’t like. That’s pathetic and complicit. You need to work instead of burying your head and changing nothing. Am Yisrael Chai.

I didn't even know that separate dates of remembrance existed, but now you've mentioned them, it seems fairly obvious they do and should be the ones used. What are the calendar dates for these remembrance? I know I'm a speck of dust in the desert of existence and so I'm not going to change the world, but I would like to know so I can take time on these dates to remember those who suffered. Some things MUST NEVER be forgotten, minimised and absolutely never denied x

I think that holocaust deniers have no modern basis for their hatred. The original reason for the displacement (and eventual extermination) of Jewish people was because most Jews were originalally money lenders. In this day and age, we do not bank with independent lenders. These morons should focus their hatred on banks, and not a convenient scapegoat.

Most employees would likely agree that people you work with matter. Those who have ever worked with a friend, or at least a co-worker they get along well with, know that they often become more than just good company for lunch breaks, especially considering how much time we spend at work.
That’s also the reason why it might be so difficult to co-exist with colleagues you are not equally as fond of. Continuously dealing with their irritating ways can make even the most patient of people lose their cool. And that can be detrimental to both the employee and the business likewise.

The entitlement is infuriating! Karen, I'd like to share some tips that will help you: 1. A favor is not an obligation. No one HAS to do you a favor and no one HAS to take care of you. You can ask nicely, and hope they can help, but if they can't, then it's your fault that you are late; YOU should've planned better. 2. "No" is a full sentence. You're not always going to like it when it's said to you, but it's still an important word to understand and respect. 3. No one owes you anything. 4. No one is more or less important than yourself. You are the star of your own story, but that doesn't make you the star of someone else's. 5. Learn the two golden rules, "treat people the way you'd like to be treated" and "if you can't say son nice, don't say anything at all."

“If you’re spending your work time dreaming of getting revenge on your annoying colleagues, how will you ever be productive? And, all those unpleasant feelings carry over to your personal life,” she added.

Dr. Janice Presser emphasized that the relationship between people at work is super important for two big reasons: “First is that at most jobs you need at least one other person to actually accomplish anything.

“The second reason is that we spend so much time working, life is much more satisfying when we enjoy those interactions,” she said.

If you want direct access to the files from your desktop, just make a shortcut to the folder they're in. And if you want to group them (as this person seems to) then you create folders labeled like "Smith project 2009" for the shortcuts. Or even make it hierarchical with 2001 Projects and under that, smith project, jones project etc.

Harvard Business Review also revealed that colleagues who are on good terms tend to be more committed, they communicate better and encourage each other more. In addition to that, they provide much-needed social interaction, whether it’s face-to-face or remotely (which was especially important during the pandemic). HBR pointed out that such employees are more likely to recommend their workplace to others, less inclined to leave, and showcase a higher overall satisfaction with the workplace.

Expert of collaboration in teams Dr. Janice Presser told Bored Panda that good relationships at work sometimes also develop as a “side effect” when employees are encouraged to work on what they like and do best.
“The one piece of advice I’ve given every business leader I’ve ever worked with to improve their organization is this: people do best what they like best, and they like best what they do best,” the expert said. “Try reconfiguring what you need done so that everyone gets to do what they like.

This Coffee Cup My Boyfriend's Colleague Uses

A collegue of mine was infamous for things like this. Once he left a half-full capuccino cup on his desk and went on a two-week vacation.

I kept putting it back on his desk - and I'd find it back in the sink. I finally went to MY boss who was the VP-Operations and complained. He reamed soup guy a new one. He knew it was me who complained, but there wasn't anything he could do about it. He just started ignoring me completely. WIN!

What A Wonderful Day For Malicious Compliance
At the counter where I work, there's a box of Kleenex. I used a couple yesterday to blow my nose, and they turned out to be the last two. The person I share a chair with (he on days, me on nights) left me another of his sparkling notes I get if a pen was left 2° out of alignment. Apparently, he was kvetching all day over it. I decided, well, I did use some, so I must fix this.

Most of the employees thought it was sooo funny. Imagine what they would have thought if they'd slipped and fell? When we cleaned and waxed the floors, usually during the summer, it lasted a week, maybe. Equipment is shifted all the time, carriers with their tubs. Racks coming off the trucks. It's part of life.

After My Coworkers Kept Abusing The Bins In The Women’s Restroom, The Company Just Decided To Keep Them Off The Walls
Gamin Coda 2 years ago
That one's maybe for paper towels? And they were putting biological material like used tampons and wipes in it instead of a designated bin? Just a guess. I'm confused too.

Pads and tampons will now be flushed or left on the floor. How can that be better?

Gross,but if they are the only one drinking from it then it's not really an issue is it ?

Depends on which microorganisms are growing on it.

I had a boss years ago who did this. It was intentional, he'd joke about it. Called it "patina". One morning he came in and found out the overnight cleaning staff had washed it all out. He was.... unhappy.

My current co-worker uses an old Pot Noodle pot as his coffee/tea cup and it looks much worse than that on the inside.

Started A New Rubberband Ball Today Because One Of My Awesome Coworkers Stole Mine From My Desk. I Had It For 8 Years

My manager once made us all little blu-tac elephants that sat on our monitor stands. I was off sick and came back to find mine had been decapitated because HR wanted to stick a motivational poster on the wall.

The Way My Coworkers Stack The Cups. Before And After I Came In: Took Me Less Than 5 Minutes
There are small cups on top of big ones, big ones on top of small ones. Some even on top of a tea towel. It’s dangerous and annoying.

A Coworker Does This Quite Often
Gamin Coda 2 years ago
I'm not seeing a problem? He changed the roll but there wasn't a bin nearby? Changing a roll is something you kinda do while preoccupied. Probably got sidetracked and forgot.

I discovered that even working at home doesn't save you from a*****e co-workers. When I go to get coffee one steals my chair. Another keep demanding a lot of attention, constantly breaking my concentration. The third only pretends to work but in reality he's playing games. Their only redeeming quality is their fur.

Had an ahole of a workmate who would know I had to do dishes by hand (very few dishes available and used repeatedly through the day. There was no hot water, so I would fill the kettle, boil it, and repeat (adding a bit of cold water so i didn't boil my hands) until I had a sink full. Guaranteed every single time, this b***h would dump her half eaten tuna can into my clean water or wait until I was away from the sink for few minutes and throw food covered plates into it. Nothing stopped her. It was her entitlement according to her. She would also stuff up the computers at work, often getting viruses from bringing in memory sticks from home. Then after everything was fixed, she'd just do it again and claimed ignorance. I swear I should have pissed on her seat when I left.

To whomever has to work with my eldest godson in the US Air Force: I am so very, very, very sorry. Then again, you may also be a flat-earther. In which case, I am still very sorry, but mostly for the US Air Force, which really ought to screen for these things. (No, just b/c maps are flat doesn't mean the world is. Ai yi yi)

Some of these people are beyond rude. But others are just expressing their personal choices. It's really not your business if someone else's coffee mug is dirty or if they put milk in a breast milk baggie.

Had a colleague who constantly complained about a sloppy roommate and his battles to said roommate to clean up. Ironically he left a mess in the common area a few days later, so a couple of us left a note that his roommate didn't work there and he'd have to clean it up himself.

I gave up on this list because like 90% of it was bad supervision, or even worse company management. Most of what I saw wouldn’t fly even once at my business. It would be a termination no matter how thinly valid. Ir would also cause a 2-hour, all staff meeting to go over the ridiculousness along with an employee agreement addendum. Luckily, like most businesses, I’ll never have to deal with this c**p thanks to my assuredness in who we hire.
