To have found this unfunny and said so?

[Wherearetheoddsocks]

I do a job that is busy and requires a lot of concentration and attention to detail at times.

Don't want to say what incase colleagues are on here etc.

I was working on a task when a colleague came and deliberately distracted me as a joke.

Imagine i was decorating a cake precisely, this person came up behind me and was saying to look over there.

I carried on with what I was doing and zoned out because I wasn't sure that he was talking to me and I was concentrating hard. He proceeded to say "look, over there" a couple more times, then tapped me on the shoulder and pointed and said "look what is that". Completely oblivious to the joke, I looked. He pretended he was going to eat the cake but ended up knocking it over, meaning I had to start again.

This is something that has happened a number of times (not actually knocking it over), by the 20th time the joke gets old and the distraction is very unwelcome.

Anyhow, I just looked blankly at this guy and said that's not funny, he seemed to take offence that I didn't fall over laughing at his joke.

That’s not funny.

Of course YANBU. He sounds like a douche.

He sounds like a knob!

Erm, he sounds like an unfunny twat. So did he help you make a new "cake" or what?
I would report to a manager or higher up because he is obstructing and harassing.

They sound like a total knob.
I'd have said a lot more I think!

I would speak to him about it. If somebody consistently tries to do something to upset you and they have been repeatedly made aware you don't find it funny, that shows a lack of respect to you and should be challenged.

No, he didn't, he simply said that he thought it was funny and then left.

I don't think he actually meant to knock over what I was doing, but he was deliberately distracting me from a task that clearly required concentration, to pretend to take the thing I was working on.

Tosser. Would he find it funny if you destroyed a piece of his work?

was it like counting money and knocking over piles of cash?

Are you a younger female member of Staff?

It sounds like something similar happen at work, because the male members of Staff are desperate for a bit of Female attention and also to show a bit of power.

I'd report.

I’d tell him next time “you’re not funny, you’re annoying. I’m trying to work here. Now —fuck off— leave me alone or do I need to take it up with management/hr?”

If something was spoiled or broken managers would care about loss of profit?

If he does it again, don't look up, continue doing what you're doing and completely blank him.
Idiot.

How old is he? 😒 what a prat

He probably thinks he's irresistible and this twattery is actually incredibly endearing. What a wanker.

Complain about him, he's interfering with you getting on with your job.

He's flirting, like a 15 year old but that's what he's doing. When guys like someone they need the attention on them. The best way to get it is to make you laugh or annoy you. If it's impacting your work ignore until he gets the message.

Knobhead. I'd report him to his line manager for consistently ruining your work, all in the name of a 'joke'.

This idiot is wasting both time and resources. I doubt your manager would see this as a joke. What an arsehole.

He sounds like a complete dick

Do you and the twat share the same manager OP? I'd be having a word.

What an idiot. Who does that?

Yep, it's his mating ritual.

I am grateful he is working in a "Bakery" and not a nuclear power plant. The knob. Tell him you are reporting him to your manager.

Only if he finds it funny to fix up what was ruined
