Who irritates me at work?
Clueless executives (Director level and above) who don't know anything, or have any experience with, the department they are the executive over.
They pontificate, kiss the hiney of their immediate superior, threaten consequences if unrealistic demands of every type are not met ON time, WITH every bell and whistle, and UNDER budget.
I have tried again and again to get these types to recognise the three affecting things for any type of activity - You can do it fast, you can do it cheap, you can do it right - pick any two of those and we can do it.
It never seems to sink in.

The most irritating are the slackers, followed by the smokers who take several breaks every shift while on the clock.

I teach. The most annoying people at MY place of employment are the a$$hats in our state and federal gubermint who a) either haven't done my job in 2,000 years or not at all; b) tell us how to do our jobs even though they don't have a $%^$#@# CLUE; and c) create more problems for us with their ineptitude. My boss is great, my cohorts are great, my kids are dynamite. But these bozos in Sacramento, yeesh. Not ten brain cells to rub among them.....

Whiners,bitchers,intellectual midgets,race card players,repeaters of stories over and over,people who loudly laugh at their own jokes.
And whats really bad is that when all of the above defects are found in ONE person.

I’m retired now but I was always annoyed at the corporate-speak people; “getting grounded”, “deliverables”, using architect as a verb - “I will architect a plan”, “buy-in”, “paradigm shift”. I could just puke when an empty-suit corporate person used those kinds of terms.

...The third most irritating co-workers are gossipers who talk behind colleagues' backs and exclude people from conversations.These are always a problem for the other five percent.

Mines easy...
These are types, who at meeting, spout out nonsensical "great" ideas to the unknowing, and nontechnical boss, but when the meetings over are nowhere to be found when the work must be done.
This is closely followed by the person who commits to everything in front of the boss....but never follows through afterwards....
Both of these types need to be managed carefully via CYA e-mails to prove ones innocence when their house of cards comes crumbling down upon them....without the CYA's, their demise can sometimes turn into yours...

I was always annoyed at the corporate-speak people; getting grounded, deliverables, using architect as a verb - I will architect a plan, buy-in, paradigm shift. I could just puke when an empty-suit corporate person used those kinds of terms. We should go ahead and dialog on that to see if we can solution it in a pareto-optimal fashion. The specifics aren't cast in concrete but we can do a plan for a plan interim to closing it out.

I don’t know, but I always try to look annoyed. Makes me look busy.
To: Dilbert56
Can we workshop that? Let’s take a meeting, maybe do lunch.

Be warned. They don't get smarter when you retire and they are still there. My bozos are in Austin.

No one!....that’s how I get to spend all day at Free Republic!

Sometimes the cat gets in front of the monitor or a client phones me while i’m freeping. Sometimes a client will call and wants to get in a late ad after deadline so after the pleading stops I sacrifice and take the money. It’s a jungle in here. ;o)

And cell phones have made it worse I used to have that problem, until I got one of these: http://www.globalgadgetuk.com/rx9000.htm . I secretly turn it on just before the meetings and turn it off when the meeting is over. There's a rumor that our conference/meeting room is a cell phone dead spot, and I let that rumor keep going. I also use the RX9000 in my car for those drivers that won't hang up and drive.

smoking breaksEver notice that all the smokers hang outside too long. Slackers and they smell nasty when they comes back inside.
Loud talkers get on my nerves. Short men are the loudest. It's like they need to talk extra loud to make up for being so short.
