Unwind in Your Hot Tub After Work

 

After a long day at work, there is nothing better than unwinding in your hot tub. No, it’s not the stress of the job that gets you all uptight, it’s your co-workers. You spend the better part of the day sidestepping the talker in order to deal with the micromanager all while trying not to anger the beneficiary of nepotism. You know, the boss’ son.

Your hot tub is a relaxing oasis, your place of work is where the worst people congregate and make your life miserable. Here is a list of people in your office who stress you out.

The Lunch Interrupter

There is an hour window between 9 am and 5 pm when you can escape the hustle and bustle of the workday and that is lunchtime; your only solace. The lunch interrupter ruins those precious moments of Zen while eating a tasty burrito by talking about one of two very stupid topics: Something that is work related but certainly could have waited until after your lunch break or something about the latest episode of a television show you don’t watch or even care about.

 

 

Loud Phone Talker

Ohhhh, you have a phone call and that makes you real important. So to ensure everybody at the office knows you are taking an important call you talk as loud as you can. Look, just because you are talking to someone who could be thousands of miles away doesn’t mean you have to yell into the receiver. You do know how phones work, right? You probably haven’t noticed that everybody within an eight cubicle radius reaches for their earbuds when you get on the phone.

The Check-In Guy

“I just thought I would mosey on over and check to see if you got my email.” Does that phrase ring a bell? This guy will ask for clarification about the yes or no response you gave him concerning his email and then lean over your cubicle and talk about no less than three subjects that are in no way work related like:

• The football game that was played last Sunday.
• The new wheels he bought for his pickup truck.
• The school play his daughter got the lead in.

The Egg Salad Eater

We really don’t have to explain this one. If you eat something that smells like it belongs in the garbage can, do it at least 12 feet from another human. This goes for you tuna fish guy, garlic dude and the girl who puts feta cheese on her salad.

Kitchen Guy

This is the person who is inevitably in the kitchen or break room whenever you run in to fill up your water bottle. He or she spends more time there than anywhere else, like they have nothing better to do.

The Cheerleader

You know this guy; he is the one who is ready for a fist bump or high five at any given moment. Not only does he high five everybody when a goal is met, he is handing them out whenever the smallest of tasks is completed. Yup, he’s there fist bumping you after successfully transferring a call to bookkeeping.

It’s of little wonder why you head right to the hot tub after a day of dealing with these people.
