To the freak in the cubicle beside me, stop scratching your fucking head; I can see your goddamn dandruff flying everywhere. Fuck, you’re going to dig out your fucking brain! And what’s with that pen tapping? Sweet merciful God!

People and their annoying habits at work. I’ve got one next to me right now who likes to talk to herself all the time! Fuck, I can’t stand the sound of her voice!
Shit that’s annoying. Some people’s quirks are bearable for a while but when you’re stuck next to them for eternity it can make you want to put a screwdriver to your ear. A good pair of headphones/earplugs might work nicely.
At least you’re not stuck in an office with the king of B.O. This guy takes 1 bath per week. I’m serious – ONE FUCKING BATH. You know it’s bad when the highlight of your week becomes someone else’s bathing schedule. Fuck.
Three words – “Head And Shoulders”.
I bet it’s only made worse because you’re in a cubicle. Those things are a bane on society.
I bet he gets all kinds of girls!
Hey Jim, slip your workmate a note saying that everyone thinks he smells like a hobo’s foreskin, and are requesting that he bathe more often. Damn hippies.

Put a flea collar on his desk when he’s gone to lunch.
TTFN! That’s just plain mean! Fuck…..what if a dog saw them do that? How would the poor thing feel….come on man! Be kind to animals.
Maybe he has a part time confetti business. Pencil tapping might mean he’s a just a frustrated drummer.
JIM MUST WORK WHERE I USED TO WORK.
DO YOU WORK FOR THE FEDS, JIM?
This smelly guy I used to work with — he’d wear paper thin button down shirts that were yellowed from his awful body odor (I think he wore the same one every day)….whenever I’d see him in the hall I’d turn around and hide out for like 5 minutes or so so the scent wouldn’t waft up my poor poor nose….I was too afraid of that stench sticking too me to get anywhere near it. Honestly, guys this man’s BO stench was worse than anything I’ve ever experienced up until that point or have experienced since.
Thankfully dude had no business in my end of the building so it was generally ok, but at lunch….he’d go to the very small caff to get food and….*barf*

Ewwww….that’s gross. Speak up next time and tell the person. Embarrass the hell out of them. Maybe then they will go away.
