When I was in the line to check out (out), the guy in front of me was paying with a check (check). It took this guy 10 minutes to write it out (out).\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The Know-It-All: \u201cHe has an amazing quality. He will come to me for help, and ask me a question. Whilst answering the question he will mirror what I&#8217;m saying. By the end of the conversation he will repeat the solution back to me and ask me: \u2018Right, have you got that now?\u2019\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The Knows-No-Boundaries Cubemate: \u201cPlaying Texas Hold &#8216;Em online instead of, you know, doing his job. Also, he hit on my mom and three of my other relatives at my wedding last year.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The Joker: \u201cHe yells \u2018SUPPLIES!\u2019 and then jumps out of the supplies closet.\u201d (Ok, we admit it: This one is actually funny on the first go-round, but we can imagine that it gets old.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The Common Room Troll: \u201cA guy at my office sits in the communal dining area and says \u2018There he\/she is! Hahaha!\u2019 to literally everyone who walks in. If you try to ignore him by looking at your phone he says \u2018Communicating with the aliens again are we? Hahaha!\u2019<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Redundant: \u201cHe says \u2018currently right now.\u2019 Never just \u2018currently\u2019 or \u2018right now\u2019 or even \u2018at this time,\u2019 but \u2018currently right now\u2019.\u201d Imagine deciphering an email from this guy?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The Countdown Keeper: Seems like every office has got at least one of these characters who chirp out a \u201cHalfway there! It&#8217;s humpday!&#8221;, &#8220;Another day, another dollar!&#8221;, or &#8220;Working hard, or hardly working?\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The Musical Torturer: We imagine this habit is adapted from one of the CIA\u2019s tactics: \u201cUsed to have a colleague that would listen to one song on loop the whole day every day. The song changed once in a while. For a week it was Jason Mraz.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The Tree Killer: \u201cPrints. Every. [Expletive]. Thing. All day long. From the moment he gets here until the moment he leaves. Receives an email? Print it. Sends an email? Prints it. Googles something? PRINTS THE RESULTS PAGE.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The Slurper: \u201cSips (slurps) coffee and goes \u2018Ahhhhh\u2019 loudly. Every. Freakin. Time. Forgot to mention, the travel mug he drinks from has some sort of pressure valve that squeals every time he takes a drink.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most of us spend the majority of our waking hours with our coworkers: some become close friends, others become forgettable memories, and still others are living, breathing lessons in patience and self-restraint.
