annoying co-workers and how do you deal with them?

Just ignore them, if you cant ignore them, then accept them, or still better to ignore them haha! the more you notice them the more you'll annoyed to them :)

Oh, yeah it is really quite normal or common in the workplace to find annoying officemates who are not very sensitive to others who are working in the same workplace / area. There are really those groups who tend to always chat and laugh out loud and their voices would be heard across the floor. There are also those who are just loud by themselves and when they talk they just want the attention. hehe.. there are those who always whine about their work but still does them while they never stop complaining as they type or do some tasks. :P

I will just ignore them. If they really persist on doing bad things to me, I will fight for what is right. Haha. But as long as they're not doing anything wrong to me, I will just ignore.

Some time if I not feel good then annoy on co-worker other wise I not like annoying and understand their problem and solved it.

Just like what you're said you can find annoying co-workers anywhere. So I suggest that you avoid them. Don't give them a chance to get near you or else you'll end up with a bad day in your job. Just try to avoid them. Good luck!

If you can't beat them JOIN them!!! ha ha lol ^_^ annoying co-worker is but normal they just test your ability of your patience. If you can with stand their being annoying. If you loose your patience then you're the loser not them.

i would say you better ignore them. But never tell this at their face. what you can do is just listen to what they say and leave it. If still they pester you, tell them you have some important work to finish. i think once they find you ignoring, they would move away.

Hi resy21curapika!!! The way you mentioned already, "They're everywhere". If they are everywhere, then what is the solution. The solution is not obviously to fight with each one of them and ruin the self status in the company. Or if you do so, we fall into same category. I prefer to ignore such persons as far as possible. But if the work is too much dependent, its the different case. It would be good idea to complain to the supervisors or the Human resource team but in the first place, we should be look at ourself too. Is he really making mistake and I'm not. So if you are right at the first place, and the work is really being hindered by the co-worker, it is better to take some action, whatever possible... Happy mylotting...

Stay vibrant of the annoying coworker, if likely. If it's not essential to intermingle professionally with this employee on a regular basis, then don't. Be courteous but refrain from chitchat by the water cooler or joining him for lunch. The less interaction you have with this annoying person, the better.

First, make me stong! Then let it be. The elephant won`t mind the ant`s opinion.

This must be tough. Honestly I haven't figure out a way yet how to effectively deal with coworkers like that. I don't think that confronting with them is a good solution... If you report them to your supervisors, make sure that if they get punished, you will be also put in a different office or environment apart from them, so they can't take revenge. I would reduce communication with them to the minimum and try not to care about what they are saying because provoking others is their only enjoyment. Good luck, I know it's such a pain to work in a negative atmosphere...

I am a silent type of person and most of the time I would ignore this kind of acts from other people. But if I can no longer take it, I would tell them in a nice way to stop. Most of the time they would listen. I have not encounter yet a person in my office that really made me so mad so far.

Hi friend, i think you are surrounded with this kind of coworkers, so only you created a topic about it, sad to know about your situation. It is really hard to work with this kind of colleagues, better to report about them to your superior and Manager with proof,. they will get punishment for their activities

Lol!, I have a co-worker like that, to other people, he is annoying but for me he's just fine. I think it just depends on people's acceptance. If you already know him always like that, accept him as that. Actually, I figured out myself that I could easily accept different kind of people. There are 2 people in our factory with the same category as what you are saying. Yeah, not totally the same due to maybe different upbringing but to others they are totally annoying. I said not totally the same because the other one has got many friends in out factory while the other one got so many enemies, but for me, I could really accept them both as friends, ha ha. No problem, anyway, if you will just try to talk to them, you can find that you could also learn something from them. So, in my opinion, try to befriend them. There's nothing to loose. Don't just see those bad things in them, try to see also the good things in them.

though i have not experienced this type of office harassment during my employ but i think this is a case that you should not just let pass. this will affect you physically and mentally and will reflect in the quality and output of your work. Bringing this to the attention of someone higher would only be proper as non action will only further encourage these culprits to be more abusive and inconsiderate.

Most of the time I just try to ignore them and work in a different area than them. Sometimes it can be hard though. Just last week I sort of got into a little verbal argument with a co-worker because she was being rude to me and I told her not to talk to me like that. Things were a bit tense after that but the next time we worked together she actually came up to me and apologized which I thought was pretty nice of her to do.

The best way to deal with them is to ignore them. People like this are getting their high when they learned that you are affected. Just do what you need to do at work, you don't need to expand your social circle in there anyway. If you still can't take whatever it is they're doing, you can try telling them upfront in a very professional and civil way that they don't have the right to treat you that way. If still this action persists, you may want to call the attention of their manager or HR. At least you tried to approach them first and gave them a chance to redeem themselves.
