People in the office starting to annoy me. Please moan in here.

[Jonny69]

I don't get why people in the office feel such a need to comment so much on what I do or eat. Today I have home made soup. Nothing out of the ordinary, it's got spinach in it so it's bright green, but it's no different from any other soup I make. They are all 'ugh', and 'is that the green stuff in the fridge' and 'uh that smells like nettles'. One guy here eats literally nothing but plain ham rolls every day and if we go out for a company meal he will only get ham, egg and chips. They all take the pee if I have anything that resembles a salad with my lunch.

Maybe if people here ate something like this they'd look healthy like me rather than fat and ill looking. I feel like pointing this out to the girl opposite me and calling her a fat pig because that's what she is, but that's against the rules. Though it's fine for them to comment on me being skinny. **** off

Then there's the car. I've learned to deal with the car thing by being dismissive but I don't feel obliged to jump in there and tell them how dull their Ford Focus must be to drive. I don't care if it's rusty! If it bothered me I'd do something about it!

Are their little lives really that unfulfilling that all they have to do is comment on other people's?

Anyway, thanks for listening. Please add to this thread with your moaning. Maybe I vill start talking mit a German accent in ze offis and not gif in no matter vot happens

We had a new guy working for us here last summer. As it got to the enrollment period for new students his exact words were 'It's getting a bit busy round here, I might ask for a week off.' The whole point of us hiring him was to ease the workload during busy times. I later happened to mention what he'd said in passing to my supervisor, just in general conversation, and as it turned out he had indeed asked for a week off. My supervisor declined the request as it was indeed too busy, but allowed him to take the following week off as it would have been less so. The guy didn't show up for the week he'd originally asked for, calling in sick every day. Then he had his week's holiday, then he handed his notice in.

When the collection came round for his leaving card, I took a pound out.

They always comment on what I have to eat at work. Whether it's a fruit salad, tin of custard or just a packet of crisps they always have something to say.
Most of the smokers and the friends with the managers also bug the hell outta me. Lunch is half an hour but the incrowd take at least an hour in the staff room then 15 minutes to go out for a fag!
If I'm a minute late off my lunch I get shouted at!

If it winds you up that much, then say something to them, seriously. I know thats easier said than done, but you shouldn't have to explain every little thing to people.

Our new boss encourages it, any little thing that bothers you, you tell him and he will sort it. Its starting to work too

I do, just adds to the problem. Once people see it bothers you they tend to push harder. They must have been bullied at school or something to pick up on such petty things *sigh*
