If there is one interesting thing that work does offer us, it is the experience to observe and (sometimes unfortunately have to) interact with all different types of people. At times we may find ourselves wondering, "is this person for real?" "seriously?!" or "who would be with this person?!" Thankfully, there are all different types out there, even those to love these people who you often leave you speechless... We have put together a list of some of these very stunning personalities...
The Loud Talker
Ah, could you be ANY louder?! I totally respect that you would like to share some personal information with your "work friends," BUT - do you really have to broadcast the details of your colonoscopy at high decibels for all of us to here at 8AM?! Really??!!!
The Bud-in-ski
OK, so I know I work in a cubical. I am not oblivious to the fact that you can hear my every word when I am talking on the phone... BUT - do you really think it is appropriate to chime in over the wall on the conversation I am having ON THE PHONE... with MY HUSBAND?! Are you SERIOUS?!
Debbie (or Don) Downer
Do you really have a story that is worse than any other story ANYONE in this building might share with you? REALLY?
The Over-the-Cubie Talker
It is called the breakroom or the water cooler, every office has one. THIS is where you may freely talk to your friends about anything you want - WITHOUT yelling over two rows of cubicals.
The Nail Clipper
This one gets me EVERY time. It is very nice that you care so deeply about your nail health - it is important to keep them neatly trimmed and manicured... BUT, seriously, do you have to do it at your desk, where everyone can hear? clip, clip, clip, clip-clip, clip.... REALLY?! Are you at least getting them in the trash can?!
The Snorer
OK, it is bad enough if you have the unlucky experience of having to deal with your own personal snorer nightly at home, but at WORK??? Who does this? How does one actually fall asleep at work - in a CUBICLE no less?! What the what?
So in conclusion, we believe the WORST scenario here is when you actually have a person at the office that embodies a combination of these qualities. To those of you, I say, "Good Luck" - Trust us, we mean it - know what you are going through. IT. IS. AN. EVERYDAY. STRUGGLE. - AN. EVERYDAY. STRUGGLE.
Yes, people, this is...
actually reality
