Some coworkers are just God sent. You make best friends, you fall in love, you meet your idols, you find your team players to climb up that long career ladder with. They make your lunch breaks less lonely, meetings funnier and deadlines… well, the deadlines are the same no matter what.
But sometimes your coworkers are just the opposite. They make doing your job harder than it already is, and everything in between way less enjoyable. If you are dealing with a coworker like that, let me tell you, you are not the only one. There are millions of people out there handling the most annoying, irrational, or even plain evil colleagues because… well, because it's what you’re supposed to do, right?
So if you're too tired to deal with this on your own, this post compiled by Bored Panda is a safe place to vent and talk about hard things. Pull your seat closer and scroll through the stories about coworkers from hell by sharing your own experiences in the comments below!
And when you're done, more stories about difficult coworkers await in our previous features here and here.

All Of My Coworkers Agreed To Dress Up As Smurfs For Halloween. I'm The Only One To Go Through With It
So.. all I see is a guy who made every coworkers life a lot better
Don't worry, I've been a victim of that too. I walked around with my head held high because to me, they're in the wrong.
You'd be my favorite for being a good sport and having a non-malicious sense of humor. Deliberately humiliating someone is NOT funny, it's childish.
Was once invited to a German-themed party. Myself and my then girlfriend was the only ones in costume. Her as a sexy-yet-ironic october-fest-heidi and myself as a tourist from Munich with a mullet, moustache, beer-gut and socks in sandals 😅
My Coworker Told Me That Everyone Dressed Up At My Office. Now I’m The Only Person Dressed Like Captain Kirk Amongst Khakis And Polo Shirts
I’ve fallen for the “we all dress up” bs at work before. I was the only who had follow through. You know what, I rocked that costume and a week later, one of our EDs called out that when I commit, I do it right. Got a promotion shortly after
WHY do alleged adults who are supposedly mature and reliable enough to be employable think juvenile pranks on their coworkers are even remotely funny or acceptable?

Love this! Be proud! They should be embarrassed for not keeping their word. I bet you gained some deeper level friendships. I know you earned some mad respect! Lookin great Captain!
Yesterday This Guy Put Ghost Pepper Popcorn In Our Industrial Microwave At Work For Over 5 Minutes. The Office Was Filled With Black Smoke Burning People's Eyes
No one could breathe. He basically maced the building. We were moved to the other end so we could keep working.
The job interview: "Tell me about your experiences with Ghost Pepper popcorn and microwaves..."
Load More Replies...I wonder why they don't just get rid of the microwave rather than putting a sign telling people not to use it.
Or just chuck the microwave an have him buy a new one for distraction of company property.
"The Ghost Pepper Popcorn Incident" You know you done eff'd up when management gives what you did a name.
Bored Panda spoke with Christine Mitterbauer, a licensed and ICF-approved career coach and serial entrepreneur who shared some great insights on dealing with difficult coworkers. So pull your seat closer.
Mitterbauer said that “it’s important that you stand your ground and don’t let yourself be intimidated by difficult coworkers, whether they’re negative, talking down to you, or making your work difficult in any other way.”
“Of course, you can try to interact as little as possible with the coworker, but that isn’t always possible,” the career coach added. Moreover, a great skill to practice is becoming better at having difficult conversations, she said.
As A Practical Joke, Some Co-Workers Wrapped My Office In Foil. In The Process, My 30" LCD Monitor Was Accidentally Turned On, And It Boiled Itself
Here's what it looked like when I unwrapped it
If you wrap an electronic in something for a prank, dont use tin foil. Use wrapping paper or something
The "use wrapping paper as a gag around the holidays" prank is the only valid variant of this prank around and doesn't cause harm to anything or anyone.
Load More Replies...They should foot the bill for damage of office property and maybe even fire and/sued for creating a clear fire hazard
Yikes! I held a job at Zappos in KY. I was a photographer. Our photo studio often pranked the other photo studio. We would wrap the computer and the chair to the person’s desk and often the desk was also wrapped to a pole it one was there. We used the huge clear Saran Wrap type plastic used to wrap pallets of products. We also wrapped cars at times. We did flash mobs to the other studio. The other studio drew chalk outlines of people and made our studio look like a crime scene once as well. Good hearted office pranks can be fun and keep the moral up. We also had tricycle races. We turned Gaylord’s into a tank and it took about 6 people inside going through the warehouse throwing candy at people. Tons of things like this. I miss that.
My kind of workplace too, Susan. I spent my early career in the advertising industry and your workplace sounds a lot like mine was!

My wife's birthday, Sept 4, is usually right around US Labor Day. One year, she was out of town on business, and wouldn't return to her office until the Tuesday after Labor Day. While she was gone, as a joke, her coworkers wrapped everything in her cubicle (including small items like stapler/pens) with tinfoil. Fortunately, nothing was turned on when they did that, so she didn't have OP's problem. She left the tinfoil on until it started detaching on its own. She ended up with a baskettball-sized lump of tinfoil. :-)
My Coworkers Have A Sick Sense Of Humor

Load More Replies...My Coworker Lied To My Boss That I Could Cover His Shift
I worked for a temp agency and one of my contracts expired, so I was on-call for the next job. I got a call asking why I didn't show up for work. No one told me that they extended the previous contract. They threatened to fire me, until I spoke to someone above the scheduler.
My best friend's husband once took his personal days off next to his vacation bid so they had enough time to visit me (I live a 20 hour drive away). He told them the reason he needed them all in a row because they don't often let people take the days next to vacation like that. But they agreed and they STILL called him the day after they arrived at my place to ask if he could cover a shift. He was like "did you miss the part where I said I'd be 20 hours away for a week? No."
The liar should be penalized at the very least, with a subsequent offense resulting in termination
This offense I would terminate. Lie on a coworker n no call no show didn't call out didn't show. someone covering is not a call out. It's a help out so technically they ncns n I'm going to go ahead and get rid of that hassle now.
Load More Replies...I can’t stand a liar. Anytime I’ve agreed to cover someone we went to our supervisor together so everyone is on the same page. Many places make you sign a written statement. I keep a voice recorder app on my homepage of my cell. I can grab my phone and begin recording a conversation I feel I may need for self protection. I’ve also downloaded apps that record calls. They record both sides of the conversation. I save texts I may need also. I’m a firm believer in CYA
Geez, at this point I want to lie to you out of sport. How to get away with it...
Load More Replies...I bet this started years ago with "Ask your mother." "She already said I could!"
This happened to me just before Christmas. When I was asked about covering part of the shift, I said, that I couldn't since I was 600 miles away.
A co-worker of my wife called her in ON HER VACATION to take care of a ticket that he could have easily done simply because he wanted to go to an office party at that time. He is no longer is a co-worker but is now an abject lesson about how to contribute to a toxic workplace.
Sorry, dude, I’m 5,000 miles away at the moment…
Load More Replies...At one point, I was going to school during the day, and working nights/weekends as a grocery cashier. Can't tell you the number of times I was awakened early on a school day by one of my managers wanting to know if I wanted to come in early. When I'd groggily remind them that I had the schedule I did because I was in school, they'd hurriedly apologize and hang up.
At my former job, we each had to sign a paper. The one who needed a shift covered and the one agreeing to cover the same shift, and then turn it in to our manager. Then there's no question about accountability.
When dealing with difficult coworkers, always focus on the behavior you would like to address and which is bothering you, and never go down the road of stating negative traits or characteristics about that person, Mitterbauer argues.
“Stick to negative behavior as that’s more objective and can more easily be verified by everyone involved. Practice exactly what you want to say beforehand, and consider getting other allies on board as well. Sometimes it is necessary to involve management, but it’s often better to only do this once you can demonstrate to the manager what you yourself have attempted to tackle the issue,” she explained.
I Work At A Place Where At The End Of Shifts We Split The Tips Evenly Between The 2-3 People That Work
We had more than 50$ of tips today and my coworker had to leave about 10 minutes early. She ended up taking all but ~2.50$ and management won't do anything about it.
That is stealing. She clearly thinks she deserves/needs the money more than her co-workers. What a disgusting person. Something so blatant probably means it is nothing new to her. If she has figured a way to steal from the company she is probably doing that too. Management is stupid.
And this conversation needs to happen in the parking lot. At night. With a suggestion that it never happen again. A stern suggestion. Grrrrrrrrrrrr!
Load More Replies...Let karma deal with it for now. Get a clear box with a lock and key. Make sure it has a slot big enough to put the tips in, but not take out.
I don't get why tips is even a thing in some countries? In Denmark, we don't tip, we just pay decent salaries instead.
Here some states only pay waitresses like $3 an hour. Therefore they're a big deal here
Load More Replies...On another occasion, same restaurant, I made a waiter bring it back after he tried to boast to me about taking the tips, since the kitchen "didn't do anything important", yet when he was asked to clean his reply was always "I'm a waiter, I just take plates from point A to point B" So on the tips incident I insisted he must have made a mistake counting, so he should make sure to bring it back tomorrow or it will be taken from his next pay. He hated me with a passion and I couldn't care less.

Load More Replies...It's Always A Pleasure To Realize That Your Coworkers Don't Know How To Close A Box Properly... Right When You're Ready To Go Home
Most people have had coworkers they don’t get along with, Mitterbauer continues, but she says there’s a difference between not being great friends and them making your working life miserable. “When their behavior starts affecting your work and/or you are thinking about this issue in your free time, possibly dreading going to work the next day, that’s when it becomes an issue.”
Coworker Announced That She And Her SO Are Finally Pregnant, I Got Her A Box Of Pastries To Celebrate And When I The Party Was About To Start I Open The Fridge At Work And See This
I would have announced that someone took bites of the dogshit cakes you made for your ex..
Whoever bit it was just trying to p**s people off. A normal food thief would just cut a piece off or just take the whole thing.
My maiden name is Kozak! I'm always excited to see another Kozak. I grew up in the 70s & 80s; I didn't see another Kozak until the 90s. There was also a TV show in the 70s about a loud bald cop called Kojak, so kids called me that as a way to make fun of me and my weird name. Such fun.
Load More Replies...In the pre - C days we'd have to guard things like this with our lives. Other departments did not care. They'd see food, wander over and help themselves. Didn't matter if you put up signs, taped things closed, there was always some jerk who didn't care.
Easy solution is to make something too spicy for any human being, and leave it unattended. Repeat untill no one will touch your "food."

Load More Replies...one time a group of people made a cake to demonstrate a cell in my science class and some teacher took a bite of it when it was in the teachers lounge
Ugh! I worked for an doc. It was a 2 story building. The doc office & our breakroom were upstairs. Two days a week he had a different location where he & the staff went. Our office mgr & myself are the only ones at the main office 2 days a week. She & I would order Chinese.. We usually had left overs for our meal the next day. We put them in the fridge. We found the doc kept helping himself to our food. He would even eat out of the container & put it back.. His saliva then being in what he didn’t help himself too. So one day there was some rice left & much to his surprise it was full of very very spicy food where we added some ingredients. We had to literally hide in her office door shut laughing. He stopped eating our lunch. He had a tech go to his home to move some cars & a boat. Doc’s dog had pooped on floor & doc told tech get it up. Tech said no not my dog. Doc said I’m your boss and tech said yeah in the office not here. Doc threatened him. Poop was left where it was.
All I wanna know is what the yellow pastry is. It either looks delicious or disgusting. I can't figure it out.
My Coworker Put Straight Printer Ink In One Of My Gloves At Work. This Will Take A Week Or Two Minimum To Come Off
Well, it's not like they have an issue with getting inked - and it kinda matches their tats!
Load More Replies...rubbing alcohol or even go swimming the chlorine in the pool will take it off. I was accidentally splashed with new methylene blue dye once, went swimming dye was gone by the end of the swim
Tattoo artist here and I remember a co worker doing this as a prank on another artist. The stencil we put on the customer to do the tattoo come from a solid sheet of purple “ink” that transfers the image onto a sheet that you cut out and use on the customer. So the purple ink can get everywhere. My buddy one day put on a glove inside out and wet it with green soap a bit then grabbed the transfer sheet and rubbed it all over the nitrile glove. Let it air dry and then carefully remove the glove making it right side out and look clean. Then put it in the other buddy’s glove box area. Later after the pranked had tattooed a customer for over a hour he took off his gloves and his whole hand was solid purple. Hilarity all around while he laughed and tried to smear the purple on everyone. Because he wore the glove for over a hour the ink and time to “soak” in and his hand was blue purple for days and his nails for even longer. Tattoo shops are fun. a couple weeks later they got him again.
Straight printer ink? Is that the reason it's only blue and not rainbow?
Hairspray will remove it darling. And Nair will make a nice bald spot on the back of her head.
Apparently Someone Has Been Munching My Donuts And It Was Supposed To Be For My Kids After Work
This looks very, very intentional. Like someone doesn't like you. Pay attention that your belongings aren't moved; who knows what else they might do. 😱
The fact that this happens not just in the workplace but in schools as well just shows you that these are the people those kids grow up and turn into. I remember being in school and having multiple stuff stolen when we would switch classes because some kid would stick their hand into my desk and steal whatever they could grab and it didn't change or get stopped ( even though my mom talked to the teacher) until another kid had his stuff stolen and then it was stopped.
Load More Replies...at least steal a whole donut, not a bite of each, that's just being nasty

I caught the part where HE was yelling his fool head off at planned parenthood. Cause HIS opinion on abortion is the one that matters. I hope HE enjoyed his quiet funeral
Load More Replies...Same. All the companies in my area require you to be vaxxed. I wouldn't work somewhere that didn't require it. Thankfully I live in somewhere that is inhabited by intelligent, rational people who actually care about others. You won't be able to find a job around here if you're not vaxxed. And no one throws temper tantrums or stages protests about it either. That's how it works to be a decent member of society. Some of you here are obviously just selfish children.
Load More Replies...Coworker is probably outside now having a coke and smoking a cigarette :D
I know smokers who are antivaxxers. While they smoke and expound on the perils of vaccines, I follow the cigarette in their hand as it goes up to their lips and say nothing. I don't take health advice from smokers or idiots. Sometimes they are one and the same.
Load More Replies...Un-poisoned is accurate. Now it's coming out that those vaccines are causing blood clots, cancers etc. Glad I waited to see the side effects first.
Tammy, everything you just said is completely false. NO ONE has gotten cancer from the vaccine. Trying getting your information from actual facts and not whatever fantasy site you are reading.
Load More Replies...I got vaxxed but its so nice to see how absolutely horrible you all can be if someone doesn't do what you think they should. You want ppl to leave you alone to make your choices but can't do the same. I bet you don't even see the hypocrisy!
Well, I look at it this way. We are all part of a society, whether we like it or not, and that comes with responsibilities. One of them, during a global pandemic, is to take as many precautions as possible to bring the crisis to an end with as little loss of life as possible. Now, just in the US alone, over half a million people have died, many lost significant income because they couldn't make it to work, and the supply chain is still f****d up because of it. If people had pulled together, instead of being blatantly selfish and ignorant, I truly believe we would be in a much better position, and many of those people would still be alive.

That's standard professional kitchen schnit. I'm not saying it's right, it's just what happens. We send ours off to a linen service to wash them when they get too bad.

Even in an actual lab, heat and cut resistant gloves are shared. They're usually placed by stations that need them instead of following people.

My Colleague Drove With Me In My Company Vehicle. She Left This Piece Of Gum On The Door

Coworker Didn't Know How To Take A Screenshot And Decided To Photocopy The Phone
Yes, doesn't reach the level of assholery of most of them.
Load More Replies...I rarely have the need to take a screenshot on my phone, and would be hard-pressed to take one if asked, but apparently every third time I take my phone out of my pocket I take one accidentally. My cloud photo storage is full of screen shots of my screen saver....
Some apps, for security reasons, do not allow print screens. I also had to photocopy once, but at least the screen was on and I made a coloured copy
My Colleague's Desktop
And then they complain to the IT staff about how slow their computer is.
I used to work for a customer service contractor for a world wide bank. We had a rule that if you didn't lock your desktop before you left (bathroom, break, etc), your supervisor would rotate your desktop screen 180 degrees, so it was upside down. Not physically, but in the commands. Its easy enough to do. But the one time I forgot to lock before I walked, when I came back and found my screen rotated, it sat down and kept working. I can read upside down just as easily as I can normally. Almost got written up because my manager didn't think I knew what I was doing. Did 3 calls with him watching. And he was chill to leave me be.
It's not that much stuff. Just weird seeing the icons so large. That would definitely fit on 1 monitor if they had them normal sized. On second thought, maybe that actually isn't normal for other people ... I just put everything that's short term on the desktop like this person is

Coworkers Keep Stealing My Stapler At Work. I've Made It Clear It's Not To Leave My Desk
I had to velcro my candy basket to my table in my office. A coworker would come in, slide the basket to the edge of the table, chhose their candy, and then leave. I had to put it back everytime several times a day. The candy was for sharing, but the basket was annoying. After I left that job, i left the basket. That coworker went in and ripped the basket off the table, also ripping off the laminate. Lol It washigh quality velcro from our graphics department. 🤣
Well...you could always set the building on fire then take off for daiquiri on the beach...
I would have taken it further and bolted it down with a chain and lock.
I was scary enough that just putting my name on the only decent stapler meant that it was used and returned, so everybody knew where a working stapler could be found.
Worked at a gas station with one register. During shift change, the person leaving needed to count their till down to about $100, give or take coin change. The person taking over needed to count it to verify before they started their shift for theft prevention. It was double coverage so the second employee would talk to the customers to prevent anger and count interruptions. One morning employee would open rolls of coins after his count to "make it easier for us because some of the coin slots are empty" not understanding that that slows us down because we have to COUNT IT ALL TO VERIFY. We explained that to him and he just ignored us. So, to get back at him, we linked all the paper clips together because he loved using the paper clips to combine ones into groups of $25. After a short while of him pulling out strings of clips (and our boss chuckling while watching him struggle to separate them) he finally got the message.
Coworker Hit My Car And Acted As If She Didn't Know Who Hit It
Coworker hit my car. I called the cops because her bumper was still embedded in my front end. She claimed I hit HER even though her car was three feet over the line. Swipe card logs and video proved I was in the building when it happened. B***h is a manager now but she did pay for my car getting repainted.
Love how you can lie about a hit and run and still make manager. I remember having one woman I worked with who was listed as THE reason for departure in every exit interview in my department. Then her husband discovered she was cheating on him with another department manager and tried to run them both over on the sidewalk as they were leaving work together. They promoted her to assistant store manager.

A councilor hit a coworker car once and said she didn't. We found the video and show her. She said she wouldn't pay. And she didn't. Because she was a councilor. Such a b***h thou
My coworker hit my 3 day old car with her door; turned her car around so she thought I wouldn't know she did it. She never did admit it and I couldn't get it fixed unless I replaced the whole panel. The dent stayed like that for 13 years until I sold it.

I Think My Coworker Doesn't Like Sharing Anymore
maybe YOU'RE the a*****e coworker if you think you can just go through your coworker's snacks to the point where they have to write notes to keep you out.
Maybe she wasn't "sharing" and found out people (OP) was stealing their snacks?
instead, the person should substitute regular haribo for sugar free haribo. if you want to know why and also want a good laugh, check out the reviews of sugar free haribo on amazon.
i love the one where the poor soul eats sugar free haribo before getting pulled aside by airport security for a thorough search due to suspicious activity or something. been a few years since i read it but that's gotta be my favorite.

Park close to he4 driver’s side door and get someone else to park close on the other side, then wait for her to complain she can’t get in her car so you can point out why.
I would say something. Or leave her a coloring book page on her windshield so she can practice coloring in the lines.

Coworker Walks Around The Office Barefoot
Yeah this one wouldn't bother me at all. It's their business, their feet.
As long as they're not interacting with customers, I don't see the problem.
I wouldn't do it but i see nothing wrong with it .especially if they have foot problems
I don't get the big deal about being barefoot unless their feet look super gross.
I wouldn't have a problem with this one. People who wear the same shoes every day for hours on end tend to have feet that reek. I'm guessing this guy's don't. Also, it's not like I'd have my bare feet walking around the carpet. With all the chemicals and what not all over the place, they last thing I'd be worried about is some dude's dirty feet passing something onto the bottoms of my shoes.
I see nothing wrong with this! If an office is cool enough to allow it then that's awesome
Even if you weren't in danger of stepping on staples, cords, and other sharp office supplies, this is very unhygienic for the shoe-less person. That floor is dirty and your skin is porous.

My Coworker Stocks The Coolers At My Work, And His Dandruff Is On Every Single Can
But maybe the coworker has a serious issue with dandruff... but gross it is. But not as gross as the rats and all the other critters running over the cans while they were still in a warehouse etc
Load More Replies...My husband has this issue, even prescription dandruff shampoos don't work for him. This could be an issue the person has no control of
If that isn't working, try a paraben free or sulphate free shampoo. For some people, parabens or sulphates give them dry scalp leading to white flaking known as scurf, which is commonly mistaken for dandruff.
Load More Replies...Well, warehouses have rats running on top of soda cans, so it’s best practices to wipe them off even if they look clean b/c rat pee.
And how often do the people stocking the cans into the coolers wash their hands?

I work with someone who only eats the tops of the green chile cheese bagels and doesn't think it's a big deal to leave the bottom half for other people! I don't get those types of bagels anymore because of that. I bought them for staff with my hard earned money. I don't do it anymore. She complains about me not buying the staff bagels anymore! Her fault!! Whatever!!
That is actually a mis-slice by an automatic slicer at the bakery. I see it all the time. If the bagel is odd shaped and it hits the blades wrong, this happens. Then it is fed back through or preferably, cut by hand.

Looks like she keeps buying butter without checking the fridge first to make sure that they actually need butter. My husband once discovered that I do this with peas. I didn't even know I had an obsession with peas, but there you go.
Load More Replies...At my last job, there were two refrigerators in the lunch room. There was a strict schedule - on the last Friday of each month, at 3 p.m., someone from HR would clean them out. An email was sent out at 2:45, reminding everyone. Then at 3, everything went in the trash, and I mean everything. It never took new hires too long to figure out that they'd better take their stuff with them on that Friday each month! And if Friday was a holiday, the clean-out happened the day before.
Hahaha this is me at work. We keep having little hot dog bbqs so I keep buying ketchup and mustard. We now have 292 ketchup bottles and 113 mustards.

Oh, you can tell, if you take a second to look. And even if you don't see it, you can hear a difference when you drop it in. But I can understand not opening it up and fishing out your garbage. Especially if other nasty garbage is in there. And coworker probably got asked to jump in somewhere and help out, and got really busy, causing them to forget the bin. As a food-service worker, it's annoying, for sure. But it's also, unlike a lot of other behaviors we see, mostly understandable. It's just one of those things that happens sometimes.

Load More Replies...I have done this with boxes of gloves because the gloves were placed in the box in such a manor you could not get them out the top openning. In my case the top would be opened first. Discover the gloves are somehow packed so you cannot get an individual glove through the opening so you have to make it larger or open the side. I come across about 1 box a year that way. In case you are wondering we probably go through 5 boxes a day.

Hope My Meme Helps My Coworkers See How Lazy They Are
Yeah, the people who added to the trash were not the problem here.
Load More Replies...This reminds me of a place I worked, several years ago. The can would get full, & no one would empty it. It was in a food prep area, so it had food scraps & stuff, in addition to the regular trash. It was super heavy, especially when overfilled. And I have a lot of back & joint problems. I couldn't physically lift the bag, to empty the can myself. And there was no other can close enough. So I had no choice but to play Garbage Jenga. And if someone tied the top, sometimes the same thing happened as in this pic. Happened all the damn time. Once, I even marked the trash bag with a permanent marker. It was like 3 days before the góddamn thing was changed. Management didn't even care. We don't know what's in the bottom of this bag, or how heavy it is. Plus, the people using the can might not be able to stop their regular jobs to empty it, like in a warehouse or factory. In that case, maintenance is supposed to empty it. But if they don't, & no other cans are close, this happens.
It IS laziness on someone's part. Possibly several someones. Just, not necessarily the someones who threw the trash on top. Possibly, at least some of them. But not necessarily.

My son came across 2 places that had an employee collecting masks of people leaving to reuse. Yes, reuse. They openly admitted that's what they were doing. One was even a hospital. He threw his on the ground stepped on it and twisted his foot thereby ripping the mask to shreds. Handed it to them and told them to reuse that one. Check the box of masks most places hand out, says right on the box, NOT FOR MEDICAL USE or some similar statement. Meaning they're dust masks.
That is fúcking dísgusting. Covid aside, who the héll would want to wear a mask that a virtual, or even complete, stranger-or even a co-worker for that matter-had on their face all day! Even if the WERE washable-I'll take mine home and wash it myself, thanks very much!!

It kills me when my bf does the dishes. Who leaves cups and bowls upright on the dish rack?? I keep having to explain to him that it defeats the purpose of leaving them to dry if the water pools inside the dishes.
My Coworker Parks In The Same Spot Like This Everyday
This is arguably irritating, but at least they found a place to do this without taking up 2 spaces. 🤷
It's illegal, partially because a lot of times the striped areas are supposed to be for emergency vehicle use.
Load More Replies...My Coworker Never Winds The Cord
Maybe no one ever taught them and they don't think about it. It's always best to start at the side of cord closest to the vacuum because that way the kinks fall out the tail
G/F just leaves it where she was when she got bored, plugged in even. Is your person single, cuase this would be an improvement, for me. :)
Sorry Gary, but how have you managed not to strangle her with that cord for this long???

I'd be inclined to agree with you, but I have worked with some pretty darn incompetent people over the years!

Seems Like My Coworkers Think Everyone Needs His Own Roll
One of my coworkers used to do that... they'd write their name on top of the roll and nobody else was allowed to touch their roll.
While I Was Away From My Desk, One Of My Coworkers Scrambled My Cubes And Left Me A Nice Little Drawing
I left such a drawing when I helped a friend move. Her Parents in Law or something, they were called - you wouldn't even wanna know them. Oh so smart ... when he got to know I'm an engineer, in vehicle development, and wouldn't stop to reveal all the greatness of Jaguar's E-Type. As if I wouldn't know ... "Most engines back then had one camshaft, but, oh those crazy Brits, haha, this one's got two!" - Oh my. I didn't know this was possible.......

LMAO!!! Didn't even notice that until I saw your post.

I Told My Coworker We Could Be Stacking Packages More Efficiently. She Keeps Doing This Because My Way Is Too Hard For Her
That’s what happens when these people aren’t properly trained, supervisors are to blame as well for allowing her to do this.
This is pure stupidity and laziness. Who needs training on how to stack boxes? You learn this as a toddler lol.

There were a couple large containers a day (think twin sized bed and frame stood up on end) I started "brick-laying" them in the container after I processed it and they told me not to. IIRC it was something about not worth the time.
The Way My Coworker Organised This
Remember ROY G BIV doofus red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet
I think they're square pool noodles...? I'm not sure actually

I know. It's not like we have a problem with plastics filling up the planet./sarcasm. Makes it worse when people ruin even reusable products

Everyone knows that "kind regards" means "go screw yourself" in office language.
So My Work Colleagues Are Angry Because I Did This
Monster. I bet they squeeze the toothpaste from the middle as well.
Eh, who cares? This isn't really a big deal. It's not nearly as bad as all the disgusting mess posts.
Instead of taking the stamps in a row, he/she just took random stamps

How My Coworker Uses Up Micropipette Tips
How My Coworker Puts His Laptop While He Washes His Hands
This can go one of two ways: crash or splash. Either way it’ll get wrecked
The straight up theft irritates me. If you didn't pay for it then you can't have it unless someone says you can have it. You're actually making it harder for people to pay their bills.
So many of these hurtful "pranks" indicate an extremely unhealthy work environment, with people taking out their despair and hatefulness on their colleagues. Management should take this very seriously and remove these people from the workplace. The human capacity for revenge and retribution is unlimited...these behaviors will spread.
Then again, it may be one of the ways these people choose to lighten up the atmosphere in their stressful work environments. I've found it helpful to avoid assuming the worst of a situation.
Load More Replies...Yup. This list made me mad. That many people sucking is kinda depressing.. considering it's just a drop in the bucket.
The only good thing that came with pandemics was the privilege to work from home. People sucks. Passive-agressive children and pigs like these ones, specially.
The gross cars and personal hygiene issues almost made me puke.... I'm not super a**l about cleanliness, but COME ON
There should be a special place in Hell for some of these people!
