View Full Version : Annoying traits of colleagues!!!
Have a Hong Kong colleague. The thing that annoys me about this person is that she cannot eat anything besides asian food. So whenever we go out as a group, if she is around, you can forget about Italian,Mexian,American and any other kinds of foods but asian. Ughhhh.....can't stand people like this in a situation like this. Everybody has to accomodate for her. Dem irritating. I mean, you are here in a foreign land for so long, at least you could do is venture out and try new things. So whats your collegues annoying habits??

why do yu have to accomodate her? you have to choose... [1] be polite and make her happy... or [2] offend her and make yourself happy...
most people go for [1] and if it happens too many times, they change to [2]...

This actually happened to me, and I employed the same tactics here to get rid of the colleague.

You got problem eating asian food meh? Anyway, I would always choose asian food if I have a choice. These things do happens even when back home. When u have a muslim colleague. Either you go with him/her to a halal restaurant, or u can choose to excuse yourself and go to a non-halal restaurant.

I'll eat anything laaa.....but some asians in particular (Ah Beng/Ah Lian) type very particular about food......The worst is if they don't like it, they'll start complaining and say asian food so much better!!! :mad:

currently my beef with co-worker is just one particular - dia tak tahu nak buat kerja. i complain many times oredi and i think sikit lagi this fella akan dibuang kerja. nice guy, but completely incompetent. what to do? not that funny. annoying because i kerja like orang gila to fix apa yang dia rosakkan :mad:
but at vin's work, there's a person that vin refers to as the "active listener" so in meetings and conversations she is very annoying. lots of "uh-huhs", "yes", "mmmmm" and other affirmative noises at inappropriate times, which is all the time. :D i've heard that other people want to smack this person too...

The 'project manager' who knows nothing
This manager... goes everywhere and talks as if he runs the whole project. When a visitor (usually some big shot) visits, he will invite himself to the meeting (usually with makan) and then proclaims to them that he runs the show. Like this one time, some big shots came.. he invited himself, and offered to bring them to my centre, then... he PROCLAIMED to all that he runs this centre. I should have asked him to sit at my place and demo the system all by himself. AHAHAHA.. but kenot lar.. for the sake of the entire project.
If fact.. he just came in and proclaimed again. *sigh*
Anyways, since he is appointed himself the head of this department, I am now using him.. getting him to approve funding for training.. MUAHAHAHAHAHA
And the worse is.. he talks to you, while looking at you through the corner of his eyes. At times, I just wish to slap him. But.. somehow, he is licking CEO's chocolate starfish.. that is why he is still around.
The useless Manager
This one is classic lar. He knows nothing. He is the head. Things not done. Boss threw me in. I had to do EVERYTHING. When some duties are passed to him. Not done. Everyday talk big. Talk nonsense. Go meeting, he talk talk talk, totally out of topic. But, like the other guy, this guy also very good in licking chocoloate starfish.
And he likes to join in our conversation. He then breaks into his own story, which is, naturually, totally out of our conversation topic. Then, he takes 5 minutes to finish a sentence. Not to say he stammers, but... he is not even sure what he wants to tell.

have experienced similar "whining aunties" too...just that these gals arent realli auntijies...but ex-grpmates la
will ask where to go for lunch, when others give suggestion, sure complain & in the end, sebulat suara wanna go to their X place...which we go to like everyday, and it is their fav...so for me standard answer used to be "driver decides" and let them discuss where to go...knowing all d while we will end up in X :rolleyes:
the Q is...if u already have ur choice of place, why wanna create drama asking these kindof Q ? :unsure:

he have comments like that for everybody!!!
hmmm...wat about this?
quite a quiet person...but always has comments/criticism about almost everybody!! not all that pleasant ones either...
and a bunch of people who find faults wif other colleagues, making no effort to get to know them better coz "we dont like her/him..."
then when they get some xtra stuffs/Qs...share wif selected people only, refuse to share wif whole grp coz dont want to ask others (those they dont like)...but if someone else has something they dont have...will leave that to imagination...d amount of complaining :rolleyes:

These are not aunties as well... they are between 29 to 33. One of my other koliks and myself call them aunties because of the way they whine, and because of their thinking. AHAHAHAHA.. very aunty like.. AKAKAKA

The 'project manager' who knows nothing
This manager... goes everywhere and talks as if he runs the whole project. When a visitor (usually some big shot) visits, he will invite himself to the meeting (usually with makan) and then proclaims to them that he runs the show. Like this one time, some big shots came.. he invited himself, and offered to bring them to my centre, then... he PROCLAIMED to all that he runs this centre. I should have asked him to sit at my place and demo the system all by himself. AHAHAHA.. but kenot lar.. for the sake of the entire project.
If fact.. he just came in and proclaimed again. *sigh*
Anyways, since he is appointed himself the head of this department, I am now using him.. getting him to approve funding for training.. MUAHAHAHAHAHA
And the worse is.. he talks to you, while looking at you through the corner of his eyes. At times, I just wish to slap him. But.. somehow, he is licking CEO's chocolate starfish.. that is why he is still around.
The useless Manager
This one is classic lar. He knows nothing. He is the head. Things not done. Boss threw me in. I had to do EVERYTHING. When some duties are passed to him. Not done. Everyday talk big. Talk nonsense. Go meeting, he talk talk talk, totally out of topic. But, like the other guy, this guy also very good in licking chocoloate starfish.
And he likes to join in our conversation. He then breaks into his own story, which is, naturually, totally out of our conversation topic. Then, he takes 5 minutes to finish a sentence. Not to say he stammers, but... he is not even sure what he wants to tell.
*sigH*
Sometimes an AK-47 will come in handy....
a light-sabre will be more appropriate :D

Having a room by yourself might look and sound galmorous but it can be very lonely man!! no chance to interact and gossip with your colleagues. Maybe I am too KPC to be wanting a room. Had a room in my previous job, almost went nuts!

I have this collegue - old uncle age around 60. Yah 60's and still so KPC. Husband and wife working in the same office but different department. Husband same department as me. Whenever my collegue talked about any things, he will turn the volumn on his radio lower. We noticed that after few incident, how come his wife at the other department know about the things we talked about.
Another incident.
Remember my manager resign? There is 2 potential executive to take over that manager's room. This uncle will go to A and tell him. "Go and ask boss to let you sit in the room la." Then go to B and tell her the same thing. Wah liao. Luckly that A and B didn't get into his trap.
