There\u2019s always one, isn\u2019t there (or, if you\u2019re lucky, perhaps two or\u00a0three)? In any social environment there are always people who really get on\u00a0everyone else\u2019s nerves. Usually said people are spared the harshness of\u00a0being told this outright (and even if they are it rarely changes things),\u00a0but this small mercy certainly permits everyone else one thing: the right\u00a0to complain about them as much as possible (but no bullying; that\u2019s just\u00a0not cool). Here is a light-hearted look at some of the worst offenders. Let\u00a0the rage flow through you…<\/p>\n

5. The Serial Coffee Drinker<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Serial Coffee Drinker is so jacked up on (hopefully) legal stimulants\u00a0that they find it hard to come down again. While they may theoretically\u00a0have more energy to get work down with, it\u2019s rarely funnelled into their\u00a0job; after all, The Serial Coffee Drinker can indulge in all forms of\u00a0procrastination at double speed. Additionally there\u2019s the constant getting\u00a0up to go and get more coffee every half an hour or so; surely that has to\u00a0waste some time? Pious Serial Tea Drinkers, while usually not quite as\u00a0annoying as the coffee chuggers, need to remember that those mugs of tea\u00a0they swill contain almost as much caffeine as a cup of coffee (in short,\u00a0you\u2019re not any better\/less addicted than the rest of us).<\/p>\n

4. The Comedian<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They\u2019ve attempted to build a reputation on being the office comedian…\u00a0only they\u2019re not. Heck, they\u2019re not even funny most of the time, either\u00a0telling jokes that are so hideously outdated they\u2019re not even amusing\u00a0ironically or so offensive that you honestly wonder why they\u2019re still here.\u00a0The Comedian can exhibit traits of most of the other top five most annoying\u00a0types of co-worker, spending the majority of their time at the office\u00a0desperately trying to induce laughter in their fellow employees (and not\u00a0seeming to care when it sounds rather forced).<\/p>\n

3. The Attention Seeker<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Before you start making assumptions, this type can be of either gender.\u00a0Whether they wander round dressed up to the nines (come on, now: this is\u00a0only the office, not a catwalk) flirting with everybody or constantly\u00a0turning the conversation round to their usually insignificant problems, The\u00a0Attention Seeker has to be the centre of the office universe at all times.\u00a0Failure to achieve the latter can be due to one of a number of factors: A)\u00a0they\u2019re sulking, B) they\u2019re on a break or, everybody\u2019s favourite: C)\u00a0they\u2019re not actually in the office at all today.<\/p>\n

2. The Loud One<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A close cousin of The Attention Seeker, The Loud One has to make all their\u00a0feelings and opinions known by everyone within easy earshot (and often\u00a0beyond). Somehow they are rarely ever told to be quiet (probably because\u00a0they\u2019re chummy with the boss), and will often continue talking even if\u00a0there\u2019s blatantly nobody listening to them. If you happen to try and engage\u00a0them in conversation then chances are they will always steer the\u00a0conversation back to them or start talking over you until they have. Wonder\u00a0how loud they\u2019d be if left to clean the serviced offices<\/a> all alone after\u00a0work…<\/p>\n

1. The Hoverer<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hoverers hover for a number of reasons. They may be lonely, bored or just\u00a0really, really like you (try to feel flattered and not scared). Whatever\u00a0their reason, they seem to not be particularly bothered with invading your\u00a0personal space or wasting their own work time doing so. While most Hoverers\u00a0are merely pests who are eventually forced to retreat of their own accord,\u00a0sometimes more senior staff members can exhibit the traits of the Hoverer\u00a0(and then it\u2019s far more scary having them peering over your shoulder and\u00a0scrutinising what you are – or aren\u2019t – doing).<\/p>\n

Ella insists that she doesn’t know any examples of these exasperating\u00a0office denizens in real life. Honest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
