Most irritating coworker habits

There's a very junior person not in my department who randomly sends me emails with ccs to everyone saying "Great effort!" and asking "Do you have enough work to do?" and similar things.

Ugh. I have one girl who is on my team and calls me periodically and says shit like "Oh wow John, you have a beautiful soul. I'm serious. It's beautiful. When you talk you just inspire people and I'm so happy you are coming to our team meeting next week. Everyone is so excited to see you." I try to explain to her I'm not beautiful - not on the inside or the outside - and none of what I think matters, nor should it to these people. She just goes on and on "oh no it does matter. You are an inspiration."

She's so fucking awkward.

Ha the same person who sends "great effort" emails also feels it necessary to send around "inspirational takeaways" after mundane meetings we are in together.

At my old job, a manager in charge of the millenials would send "inspirational" pictures to them and would schedule 7:30 a.m. calls to talk about Harry Potter and how they can learn lessons from the series on doing better at their low-skill job (some of the millenials were into Harry Potter). It was a show.

And yes I'm the OP of the "is it unhealthy sitting next to a bathroom all day" thread

Yeah, I do actually have to do it every day at work (coffee + up and out in the morning at home with small kids). Sorry.

Wow... what the hell. What kind of work places was that?

And ew to the inspirational speakers. I don't understand that at all. Some people have no self-awareness I guess?

One guy vapes constantly. Always leaving the room to go vape outside

Just curious as to why this would bother you. He's leaving his desk to go outside. I could see it being annoying if he actually vaped AT his desk, but he's going outside, so what's the issue?

We have an IT contractor who seems to think the bathroom stall is a phone booth. She goes in there everyday and sits on the toliet with her cell phone multiple times a day and has very loud phone conversations. Her boss is male and has no idea. He thinks she is away from her desk fixing computers around the office. I'm sure we're getting billed by the hour for her laziness.

People who keep saying there leaving but don't. STFU and work or quit. I don't really care what you do but do it and be done with it.
