Annoying little things your boss does that really bug you!

[DroningOn]

I like my boss and we generally get on well but he has this really annoying habit of discussing people in our team or projects we collectively are working on as "his"..... "hello, let me introduce your to Lucy, she is my financial controller" or "yes, that's my project and I'm really proud of it, my team really excelled in that one"

petty I know but it bugs so many of us, and replacing "my" with "our" would totally change the tone of it.

AIBU or is this as patronising and braggy as I think it sounds?

*Makes me print out her emails. Her entire fucking inbox - plus attachments - every morning. It takes ages.

Then she makes me sit there while she reads them and throws them in the bin.*

OMG!

The worst you can have is an insecure one, who hates that you are competent and confident. Mine added undermining to micro-managing - so I had to report and explain every breath i was taking, but she was also trying to ask questions I didn't know the answer to. Trouble was the questions were always utterly irrelevant.

• So, regarding this claim, there was water damage and the plumber we sent said...

- But what colour are the plumber's eyes? Oh, you don't know?

I once had a boss who charmed me into bed, then into his huge house, then, after 6 weeks, said I've met someone else and need you gone tonight!

I hate it when they do that!

@TheSmallClanger mine is a large gentleman works in the fleet industry....

I think my boss is a mixture of all of the people mentioned above. He micromanages - can't work in a different location on the off-chance that he might need you to be in the location he is at to do some work, he schedules meetings but they often get rescheduled as other stuff comes up that must be dealt with straightaway. He's not the worst but it does make being mobile in the workplace difficult.
I also have a colleague who coughs/clears his throat as though he is sitting on the toilet, it's a real grunting noise and not pleasant to be around.

Picking his nose...while eating his lunch.
Claiming my work to be his because he didn't do any.
Constantly shopping online and not even being discreet about it.
Bad mouthing me (about lack of work because he claimed mine) to all the other managers so I was treated badly by them too.
Constantly 'working from home'/leaving early/coming in late but complaining about other people occasionally doing the same.
Rolling his eyes and making rude comments to me about the other managers every time they spoke to him.
Refusing to sign my holiday off then booking the days off himself so he could deny mine.
Having to answer calls from his wife/parents at least once a day because he was out of the office, not working.
Being spoken to like I was worthless and other questionable behaviour - later found out the previous female employee had complained about him behaving inappropriately and was told to leave or she'd be sacked.

He's still there.

Previous boss.
Going through my phone logs because she could (sounds strange but a lot of my job was phoning clients and she would actually call them and ask 'did SchoolMoney speak to you earlier?' rather than ask me. Would ask sometimes why I only spoke to a certain amount in an hour. When I showed her the times on each call so she saw I started each new call within seconds of the previous ending it was seen as me giving cheek and she wouldn't have time to check that. So I should type a spreadsheet up accounting for each 5 mins of my day with names of who I spoke to. Sounds very petty I know but my god was it irritating at the time.

She also never knew when to just say nothing. I was off for 2 weeks after being hospitalised for an emergency. She said when I came back that filling in for me was like a holiday (because she didn't DO anything) and then said 'we thought about sending you flowers, but you weren't hear to organise it. We did think about it for a day or so thoughgiggle'. FFS just don't say anything....
