So I have a new-ish job and the job is fine, but I absolutely hate the majority of people there - it's kind of killing it for me!

The office is made up mostly of fat women and gormless 20-something guys that talk non-fucking-stop about football. They're all incredibly nosey too, but even worse than that they overshare waaaaaay to much. I know every office has "that guy", but what if they're all that guy....does..does that make me that guy???

This is a thread for talking about people we work with and how we'd like to make them aaaaaall go away.

    I work in a beer distribution company, and everyone here is really awesome. Hopefully your job pays enough to make the dumb people worth it.

    Yeah, while sure I enjoy complaining about things jokingly from time to time, people who do it all the time just make me want to tell them to shut up and just do something about it.

    A couple years ago I had a job as a messenger around an office. When not running errands, 10-15 of my coworkers would sit around in our room reading or what not. Most of the guys were 18-19(I was 22) and complete tools. They'd primarily spend their time playing paper football, talking about sports, or drugs. This one guy was always like "Ooooh man, I had so many bars last night, and smoked soooo much 'dro."

    One person had downs syndrome, and really loved pencils for whatever reason. He'd just sit and play with them, usually minding his own business, occasionally talking to himself. This one other guy in the office gets called to go run a package one day, and is annoyed I guess at the guy who had downs, walks over to him on his way out, takes the guy's pencil and snaps it in half, throws it in the trash can and leaves. I was pretty dumb-founded.

    Then I had the wonderful fortune of having to occasionally work with this guy later, when I moved to a better job and so did he, where our bosses would coordinate on projects. Hurg.

    I work in retail. Every employee there is a complete jerk. I am not too fond of them, but I try to be civil because I have to see you for however many hours during a week.

    Then there are the regulars. People who spend hundreds of dollars every day, yet have no discernible source of income.

    There is one regular I like. He comes in and says racist things about Obama and mexicans. The reason I like him is because once he says one racist thing, I get to ignore him as much as I like to. Oh? You want to ask me questions about tvs? Nah, I am going to go help the people over there because they are fucking friendly as hell, even if they don't speak English.

    Some dude comes in "So I was watching the discovery channel the other day, and they had all these lies on it"

    He proceeds to spend 30 minutes explain his theories on the earth. Why carbon dating is completely wrong. How the earth is only hundreds of years old.

    Thankfully my manager caught whiff of it, and saved me as he got started on other conspiracies

    Haha don't get too excited there, I'd hate to give you a heart attack. We're down in Eugene anyhow.

    The majority of our volume is Anheuser-Busch family brands, but we do have carry Widmer's and some random microbrews. We had this amazing beer in from Chicago, the brewery's name is Goose Island.
