to think this guy next to me is a total slob

[brt100]

He keeps doing this annoying berp without a sound coming out of mouth but you can hear gases if that makes sense.
Blows his nose and then puts tissue in the bin next to me to fester for the rest of the day.
Keeps hitting his teath with metal cutlery.
Sucks his fingers when eating quite loudyly, and he eats a lot.
Rests his hand on the top of my chair sometimes when stood up talking to someone.
Keeps pushing his stuff over my side of the desk.
Is unable to take a sip of anything without making alot of noise.
Opens a can of fanta and I can feel the spray mist on my skin.
Eats smelly food, like fish and chips so can still smell it for hours.

Asked me as a veggie if I miss bacon and don't I get bored of eating the same things. Even though I have a very varied diet and he doesn't!

Or am I just going loopy and not designed for offices?

Maybe he is actually doing all these thing on purpose just to see how irritated you get? There could be a sweepstake going on in the office on when/how you will react.

And yes. It is a 'shocker' that someone can be as easily irritated as you. If I worked with you, I'd wind you up for fun.

He
smells
of
rotting
flesh?

Do you both work in a small French town? Maybe for the local water board?

Do you have misophonia OP? It's a really shit thing to live with and a lot of people have visual triggers as well as auditory ones (people touching their hair repeatedly drives me nuts, for instance).

Oh the poor man, do you think he could be ill?

Sounds like he could do with a break to me HL.

Gosh its like teenage girls ganging up at school on here. If I really was so unreasonable why do 30% ish think I'm not, then the same few people keep posting insults / personal unpleasant stuff at me?

So why do I have very serious problems if I don't like snotty tissues put in the open desk bin next to my feet?

Probably because you have started a lot of of quite peculiar AIBU threads lately brt100.

Most of them have a connection to food in some way. I think people are more confused than anything else TBH.

The 30% (?) may not have seen the other threads?

Brook, I usually ignore you as you seam intent on throwing personal insults at me and trying to mock any point of view i have.

Why do you bother doing this? Does it make you feel good about yourself?

You rarely add anything of interest to the conversation and seam self obsessed as you do things like announce when your leaving a thread.

No brt I am trying to work out what you are trying to do.

Some of the stuff he does would get on my nerves, yes, but from the sound of you on here, I wouldn't be keen to sit next to you either tbh.

Rotting flesh

Dear lord, the poor man.
What on earth is wrong with him?

Sorry, but I've been on MN for donkey's years. I was here when Sparkling signed up, she has never ever thrown personal insults to anyone! .

You, on the other hand just tend to have a pop at anyone who doesn't agree with you often, tbf!

He's following Government advice putting his snotty tissues in the bin. 'Catch it, bin it, kill it!'

It is normal and advised by the Department of Health to do just that.

If he was stacking them up around his desk then yes, you would have a point, but complaining about someone putting rubbish in a rubbish bin is just weird.

Unclench op. Seriously.

OK.

If you think you are so reasonable, write everything down that annoys you and take it to your supervisor.

Let me know when you do so I can watch their reaction.

Could you move the bin?

You've got 3 options:

1. Turn your swivelly office chair round toward him and say "look colleague, assuming you haven't a fearful condition resulting in your flesh rotting, you have a few little traits that I find difficult to live with" decide which are the ones you just can't live with and you can trade a few of your own for good measure

1. You can fester on and have a sudden cardiac incident involving said colleague putting aside his tissues and snacks and giving you mouth to mouth

or possibly leaving you to it as you make his rotting life a misery

1. Go to your supervisor, but I assure you that will not end well without at least a try at option 1

If I had to make a list the stench of rotting flesh would be up there.

In fact he is probably a zombie so I would be careful about pissing him off.

Maybe you should just invest in a peg for your nose.

There does seem to be a bit of an ....erm....pattern to your posting op.
Oh and the insults generally are from you op.

Haven't seen any of the Op's other posts, but i have a lot of sympathy. Interesting suggestion about misophonia - maybe OP and I both have it. I developed a severe dislike to DP's swallowing noise when I was pregnant, and 13 yrs later I still can't stand it!

Well let's just hope he doesn't bring in sweets and hand them out when it's his birthday...

It's not you Maryz...

Can I suggest unbuttoning the top of your shirt, tossing your hair around and generally revelling in the refreshing mist of the fanta whenever he opens one? It could be your very own soft drink advert. Would cheer you up and amuse the office
