Tell me about your annoying colleagues

I work in a very small team and the woman who sits opposite me drives me completely insane! It’s going to sound very minor, but she interrupts me constantly to talk about her boyfriend. I’ve had to start putting my earphones in and pretending I’m listening to music and can’t hear her because she makes it so hard for me to concentrate on work, but as soon as I take them out she wheels her chair over to my desk to tell me something else inane about him Hmm

I don’t know how much more I can hear about what tv show they watched last night, what she cooked him for dinner, what she’s bought him for Christmas, how to interpret every last thing he says to her...it just never ends!

AIBU to ask you to make me feel better by telling me about your annoying colleagues??

WELL... I'll PM you, OP.

In all seriousness, I think I might actually BE the annoying colleague.

In a previous job someone took me aside and asked if I was a bit stressed becasue I always slammed the phone down furiously and then walked off and slammed the door out to the lifts. Had to explain that I am just naturally heavy-handed (car doors have been known to shatter beneath my delicate, ladylike hands, too) and I also happen to be cursed with resting cat's bum face, which adds to the effect.

Do feel a bit bad for the colleagues I have left in my wake, living on the edge of their nerves and terrified every time I pick up a piece of office equipment... At least I didn't cook any slow cooker meals under the desk though.
