I had that at my last place. Another contractor even commented to me that they could not cope with sitting next to her as she made so much noise whilst eating. Unfortunately we all just resorted to listening to music whilst she was eating which was the best part of the day as she never really stopped.

Apparently the guy that sat in that chair before her burped and farted all day as well as slurped his tea loudly (he was fired but due to incompetence). Wonder if that is your permie guy.

Unfortunately I find telling someone just makes them more adamant that I am in the wrong rather than them.

He's back today and he's still ******* annoying. This time its a cold and I want to use the sharp end of the lemsip packet to inflict pain on him.

If the cold has suppressed his sense of smell, he'll probably start smelling of BO soon.

Perhaps he's now exaggerating it just to annoy you. That's what I'd do.

And maybe that is what the shoulder massager is doing to you....

I did manage to mouth the word 'cock' to him during the interval so felt better for that

That has made me laugh. That's what I'd do.

Someone next to me is eating some vile crunchy stuff out of a bag.

Rustle, rustle, CRUNCH, MUNCH, rustle, CRUNCH, MUNCH, MUNCH, rustle, ...

Do you reckon the bag would be digestible if I rammed it down his throat along with some of his teeth?

I mean it's not as if he eats plastic bags every day like those poor turtles in the Pacific.

slightly OT but an inexpicable bit of inconsideration involving this happened at the weekend. I was watching John Bishop at the BIC and the twunt behind me had a big noisy bag of sweets- during the gig he started rustling the bag but it went on for a about 5-10 minutes - at first I thought he was just unwrapping all his sweets in one go but when it went on and on and on I turned round to ask him to be quiet and he wasn't unwrapping sweets at all - he was just scrunching the bag up, twisting it and unwrapping it - couldn't believe it, everyone in my row had been muttering about the noise yet none of his friends told him to shut up. within five minutes he had got up and moved to the end of the aisle?!?!?

some people are so stupidly inconsiderate that it make my blood boil - I did manage to mouth the word 'cock' to him during the interval so felt better for that- probably wont go down so well if you do that at work so get yourself a really annoying ring tone and time it to go off whenever its the most inconvenient for him

In a small two person office with the permie from hell. He makes more noise than a buffalo having sex and he's only just drinking tea. I've already told him don't chew with the mouth open and FFS don't slurp your tea but it's having no effect

Would it be wrong to pick up and smash his cup into his face until he stops twitching?

Just leave a dog bowl on his desk.

If he asks, just say as you eat like an animal, I thought this might help.

Made I larf did that.


Now I'm upto being annoyed by the way he breathes.......I'm pretty sure this is what its like to be married.

There was a chap on the last contract who wore great big ear defenders regularly, to avoid being disturbed by the young chap who played his music really loudly next to him.

There's a fella in my office who sits there with head phones on, cursing and muttering under his breath, banging his mouse and every now and then loudly saying an expletive.

Anyway that's what they say I do.

Wear a pair of bright yellow industrial ear defenders, and explain exactly why to anyone who asks. That should get the point across.

No, not wrong, but could possibly get you into some trouble. I advise slurping back, he may get the message. If this fails change the email recieved sound on your computer to a cash register type ching, ching, ching.
