who can't seem to cover her mouth when she coughs, and who is unable to eat lunch without letting me 'hear' all about it

Ugh and now she's just licked her fingers clean

YUK

Scream away.

mamas12 · 29/06/2009 13:19

Hand her a wet wipe

PricklyVelvet · 29/06/2009 13:20

start doing the same back at her, if she says anything say you thought immatation was the kindest form of flattery

amidaiwish · 29/06/2009 13:21

def say something about the coughing, that's just gross.
not sure what you can say about the lunch - apart from make a joke about it?...

posieparker · 29/06/2009 13:23

Invite your most outspoken colleague over for a chat at lunch and let them tell her!!!

jumpingbeans · 29/06/2009 13:23

mine make my skin crawl,he eats pots and pots of yougat,spends ages licking every bit off the lid, then eats/scoops it in his gob,then spends the next five mins scrapping round the pot getting every bit out, then starts on another one, we have had to watch 2 so far, i feel like ramming it in his face... so i know how you feel

cheesesarnie · 29/06/2009 13:24

id copy her and im sure she will soon see how annoying and disgusting it is.

poor you

ScarletBandit · 29/06/2009 13:25

Not unreasonable at all, that would drive me mad!

Cerened · 29/06/2009 13:26

Oh glad IANBU

Jumpingbeans - that 'scarpy scrapy' thing with youghurt pots makes me want to go postal. Is it reeeealy worth it for the 0.5ml of yoghurt you get out of it??

Email her this thread....

Oh this post is so funny because I was thinking about starting one up about my pain in the arse colleague who sits directly opposit me & seems to suffer from hayfever, cue the sniffing, sneezing and coughing....i wouldn't mind so much and would be a lot more sympathetic but he insits he doesn't suffer from it and so won't take any form of tablet offered!!

He seems to sniff about 3 times a minuet for the last 4.5 hours & with each sniff I feel my body tense. I suppose it doesn't help I'm 30 weeks pregnant and already irritable with this heat!

Plus I'm there with the loud eating, the same colleague (who i also think has worms as he eats every two minuets) also likes to announce what he's eating..."Ummm chocolate bar" CRUNCH CRUNCH swallow..."ummmmm crisps" crunch crunch swallow. Ahhhhhh!!

jumpingbeans · 29/06/2009 14:00

Well, when he has eaten his crisps, the packet is empty, he wipes his finger around the inside of the empty packet and licks the "flavour" off his finger, thats what he called it, i was so pissed of that day, i did ask him that the fuck he was doing he is a total knob

Cerened · 29/06/2009 14:01

Start asking if he has swine flu Mumtobe23

I think I have a very low tolerance generally to other people in general 's eating/breathing noise. I've often wondered if one day I'll go into a catatonic state, to wake up and find out I've hit someone because of it

Lol Jumping - what did he do/say?

saggyhairyarse · 29/06/2009 14:03

I used to work opposite a man who snorted back his snot.

Cerened · 29/06/2009 14:05

Saggy. That wins the 'annoying behaviour award' I think

talbot · 29/06/2009 14:13

I definitely think eating an apple in an office should be illegal.

Cerened · 29/06/2009 14:20

yy Talbot. I can't eaxctly explain why people eating apples makes my head feel like it's about to explode

Repeat for 5 minutes

OP posts:
jumpingbeans · 29/06/2009 14:23

cerened, thats what he said he was doing "licking the flavour"from the packet

mumtobe23 · 29/06/2009 14:23

Hahaha oh yes talbot eating an apple should definatley be banned!
I actually think there should be a law aginst it!

jumpingbeans · 29/06/2009 14:25

What about people that put hot food in their mouth, then pant like a dog with the mouth open fanning their tounge with their hand, thye could see it hot when they put it in, twats
