Annoying people in your life you just can't avoid or tell off.

[Chocoholic]

We all have that irritating family member, co-worker, acquaintance, etc. whom you just have to grit your teeth, bite your tongue, and deal with them. Let's discuss them here.

A good friend of my mother has a son about my age. I wonder if this guy has an undiagnosed social disability or something. He has absolutely no social skills and tends to behave like a 12-year-old at times. He'll go on and on and on about a subject that is of interest only to him and doesn't realize he's boring people. He constantly makes fun of me for my tastes in music and stuff. He's just so asinine, I want to scream! :mad: Thankfully, I don't have to deal with him too often.

Another annoying person I have to deal with is that co-worker of mine who just can't handle taking no for an answer. She's not even the teacher I'm assigned to work with, yet she expects me to do things for her. She's also so melodramatic and has to be having personal conversations with the teacher I work with (her best friend) while we are trying to teach. Thank God she's retiring in June. I don't think I can take much more of her.

[MrCleveland]

Oh yes...my father!

How the hell can I respect him if he drives me up the wall?

[catlover79]

Until yesterday, a co-worker who sat nearby. This girl was loud, rude and obnoxious. I don't think she really meant to be, but she just would NOT SHUT UP. She'd fit right in on The View. :eek: :lol: Thank goodness, my team has a different supervisor and we were moved to the other side of the room!! :dance: party: :bouncers :jig:

[Waterston_Fan]

My eldest sister when I see her. When she visits, she just seems she has to be the boss of everybody. When we were at a restaurant, she always asks me to sit next to her and to be honest, I don't want to. My brother in law would offer to give his seat so I could sit next to my sister, I don't know if he's just being nice or if my sister told him to but I might try to say no thanks to that.

Also, when I look at her, she smiles EVERYTIME!!

Maybe I'm too mean but what sister or brother wants their little sibling to sit next to them?

She has a tendency to call just to chat and sometimes I just don't want to chat but then, I never want to chat with her. :lol:

EDIT: Maybe it's one of those things where a family member just wants to get away from everybody. I feel that way, but I don't feel that way towards my mom. Just mostly my sister.

A co-worker, she's just annoying and she has the habit of touching and picking up things that are on my desk.

[Chocoholic]

^ I had that problem at first with the teacher I work with. She's a little OCD and after I told her politely that I would really appreciate it if she left my desk alone, she said she'd try. I also kept my desk a little neater. It hasn't been much of an issue since.

It's nice that you were able to work things out, Kristen. :)

[dawsongirl]

Co-worker. They're a huge hypocrite and I swear they're out to get me fired. Nitpicks at every little thing I do. It's too stressful to be around them.

[Seth]

He'll go on and on and on about a subject that is of interest only to him and doesn't realize he's boring people.

One of two things. *Could* be some sort of social-impairment condition, or it's possible they could just be someone who likes to hear the sound of their own voice. :lol:

[catlover79]

Sounds like SEVERAL people I know of. :eek: :lol:

[MickeyMac]

Various members of my family. I just avoid them.

[beautifuldreamer]

Hmmmm, various people at college who text during class time and have the nerve to ask me for notes after class... ugh!:mad:

[80sTrivia]

Oh yes...my father!

How the hell can I respect him if he drives me up the wall?

I understand how you feel, believe me! :eek:

[Chocoholic]

:lol: I guess that makes me the female Norm. Get me a beer!

Alright, fine...

Cheers, you guys!:cheers: :woohoo:

To alcohol! The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems.

I haven't been in this situation myself, but my sister had a "friend", who simply drove her off the wall. You can safely say, that this girl smothered my sister. She always wanted to hang out with her, even when she didn't want to. If my sister said, that she had other things to do, her "friend" just said, that she had to "prioritize". That is, she wanted my sister to give up everything else in her life and just hang out with her. It eventually came to a point, when my sister was afraid, when the phone rang, because she didn't want to talk to her. After a while, this girl moved to another part of Sweden, and we've hardly seen her since then. But my sister still doesn't want to think about her.

Maybe he has Asperger's Syndrome? I'm supposed to have AS and many people with it are quite obsessive which could explain why he goes on about things he's interested in (I do that sometimes myself.)

People with AS don't tend to make fun of others with different tastes though. I never have and I never will. I hate it when people do it to me (and people made fun of me for my music tastes and other things quite frequently when I was younger.) I hated it so much so I'll never treat anyone else that way.

[Furienna]

I too have Asperger's, and oh yes, it sounds like that guy might have it too. I don't make fun of people either (at least, I try not to do it), but that doesn't mean, that some "aspies" won't do it.

[justins5256]

I have a friend who constantly feels a need to "one up" people whenever he gets the chance. He always has to have the best of everything. He'll go out of his way to tell you why something you bought sucks and why he has something better or, if you buy the same thing, he got his for cheaper or got a better deal than you somehow.

My wife and I joke that he has "little man syndrome".

I really believe he does have Asperger's. He makes fun of me because he thinks he's being funny. He acts so juvenile and he's 30 years-old. I try to be understanding becuase I work with special-needs kids myself, but I can't stand being around this guy.

[Furienna]

Someone needs to make him understand, that he can't make fun of people. He probably doesn't even understand, that he hurts people's feelings.

[littlebelle]

One of my co-workers at work is SO rude. I dread seeing her at work when I get there.

[justins5256]

Hi,

If you don't mind me asking, how do you deal with it?

I typically just let him say his piece. I rarely try to engage in a debate with him because it will ultimately go nowhere (although I will admit that there have been times I have felt mischievous and I'll say something just to get him going, but I haven't done that in awhile). I know that he has dealt with a lot of problems and turmoil in his life and I believe that the manifestation of this behavior on his part is his way of coping, and not intentional, so it's easier to let it slide.

Man, I've had to bite my tongue a few times though. :D

Is she a slob? Does she talk too much? Is she a jerk?

[catlover79]

All of the above??

[littlebelle]

Is she a slob? Does she talk too much? Is she a jerk?


She's definitely not a snob. She's really blunt, but in a bad way. She's just plain rude. She has no self-censoring- stuff just comes out of her mouth. She's also annoying and talks way too much- always up in everybody else's business.

[browneyes106]

I wish I could tell my sister and her boyfriend off. My sister is pleasant most of the times but her boyfriend is annoying and is a jerk. They have lived together for about 10 years and they have a five year old son and my sister keeps hoping that one day he will romantically propose to her. I don't see it happening. My sister's bf is a jerk and is constantly cutting people down and he has told me off for stupid things. A couple of years my parents decided to host a birthday party for my nephew at our house. The morning of the party my mom, sister and I spent the most of the morning cooking food, and setting up for the party. My sister's bf didn't lift a finger to help and his grandmother was also at our home and she never offered help. While we were throwing out stuff my mom saw a hole in the garbage my dad was taking out. I opened the window and yelled at my dad about the whole. At that moment my sister's bf got up and started yelling at me for waking him up from his nap. It seriously pissed me off because he had slept the hole night before and I was helping prepare his son's birthday party while all he was doing was sitting on the couch sleeping and watching TV. There are have been other similar incidents where he was cut me down or told me off for a stupid reason. My older brother also gets annoyed with my sister's bf and he tried to tell my sister about how her bf acts. But my sister defends her bf all the time and uses his bad family life as an execuse for him treating people badly. I really can't tell my sister or her bf off because if I do my parents end up telling me off.

My neighbor, If you get into a conversation with him, He always knows more about the subject than you do.

My brothers, They constantly ridicule me for the music I listen to, the tv shows I watch and the websites I visit including this one but if I say anything about them there's hell to pay.

I have known people like your neighbor and they are annoying to be around. My sister and her bf ridicule me for the things I like too.
