Hi Guys,
So I checked around and found there was a 'what annoys you' thread but not a 'who annoys you thread' so I decided to create one.
So, do you have anyone in your life that you can't get away from that just constantly annoys you? Someone you wish you could tell to get lost or go away but can't because they're a colleague, family friend, etc?
I have this old man at work, he sits next to me and is constantly chatting away in my ear. At first I used to just smile and make light chitchat or comments with him just to keep him happy, but after a year of it I am finally sick of it. He tells me about his water tanks or tells me about a random phone call he had that I am clearly not interested in.
He says half a sentence, laughs like a crazy person and waits for me to respond... I really have no idea what to say.
I have started to ignore him completely, staring at my screen as he talks to me, making the odd "hmm" sound here or there but mostly I just say nothing and he happily has a whole conversation with me without me even saying anything. Omg it is the most irritating thing ever!!
I know there is nothing I can do about it, he is my work mate, i can't tell him to shut up, so I just deal with it and silently rage.
now what about you, is there anyone like that in your life?
