Secret work enemies

Oh god yeah. Every Friday I bet he says 'have a good weekend, once it arrives!' Too

I just remembered another annoying thing about him, a lot of people did exams for someone I know he got like 90% on it. As soon as he got the results he went straight onto the company Teams page saying something like 'good luck, I'm sure you'll all do great!'

Everyone lapped it up, he is a proper slug. I really hope he gets a bit handsy at the Christmas party and someone rats on him. I might even pay for a bar person there to make up the accusation against him

I'm not in the office again this week, so I have a whole week of brooding until next week
I hate this guy so much.
 
One work colleague (Not line managed by me but will soon be) is quite annoying.

Always off with something going on, complains about how busy they always are when they have the least responsibility and output in our whole department, talks about how they turned down better paid jobs to stay like we should be grateful, talks about staff from other departments when she barely knows them, tries to talk people out of promotion opportunities by telling them how she is qualified for and has done that level of job before and wouldn't go for it (Even though they are on a development plan in their current job for absences and underperforming) and the most annoying thing is they share a desk with their partner ehen working from home so while on work calls they stop mid sentence and involve their partner.

They are also generally quite strange. A colleague invited them round for a drink with another colleague and she showed up with her husband, who the other had never met or invited and sat there all night. It was all apparently very awkward.

Think this may cause some headaches for me in the future. Not quite my enemy yet, but potential is there for the future.
Surely one of these in every organisation? Certainly one where ever I’ve worked.
(No, not me, you dolt!)
 
Delighted to announce I have a new one.

His surname is Colly so I call him jolly. He winds me up loads. One of those happy office types who loves an crap office joke but bores find him lovely with a 'sense of humour'. He swans around with his laptop open, nearly bumping into others and then making a terrible joke about being busy

He was going on lunch, I heard someone say to him 'we'll talk about it after lunch' he said 'im not coming back'. He was back at the same minute as he is every single lunch time. He emailed me 3 times today and he said 'morning' every single time. There is a newish girl who is under 30 and I caught him doing a pathetic little cutesy wave that he would have not done to me

I'm delighted I've finally noticed him tbh
Tape a kipper under his chair
 

Bloke I work with who I presume lives a very sheltered life grassed me up because I dared to have a couple of beers and enjoyed myself at an out of work drinks, my manager told him to eff off.

Bloke is still nice as pie to my face at work, has no idea that I know what he did. I have no idea how the mind of a two faced jobsworth works, it’s properly weird.
 

Got one who complains if people update a spreadsheet but don't leave it in date order of the deadline.

"
Have you tried the filter and sort function?"

Doesn't know how to use excel and just likes trying to wield power over subordinates, but hates being reminded of it. Everytime.

She's probably posting about this annoying bloke who Mansplains excel on whatever weird niche forum she ventures onto.

Strange world, huh?

It's just people with no social skills, they have no idea stuff like that isn't normal. They are baffling but sometimes they don't even get the fact that ratting is werid
