i would have said "Erm whoever it was that took the dump... I had it tested and you really need to go to the doctors A.S.A.P as your life could be in serious danger." and wait to see whose face drops.
Granted it wouldnt be a total lie, because I would want to kill them, but if you can do it seriously enough they'd likely have to go to their docs and give them a sample, think that might hit a bit of a humiliation factor when they realise you'd lied..
I have to put up with someone that constantly shouts and repeats every sentence about 20 times.
In my experience, liers and people full of themselves are the ones who annoy me. In 2 different jobs, I've dealt with people like this, and I can't even describe how annoyed I was.
The 1st guy was this dude about my age (early 20s), and he was our 3d animator. He was always slacking, and as he was our only animator, he felt like he was god's gift to us. But he kept complaining how he didn't want to animate, and he would spend the entire shift showing us stuff that he's worked in or done before (which I found out a couple months ago that weren't true at all).
The 2nd person was my previous boss. He was such a liar, oh god. If I was getting paid as much as he promised, I wouldn't even be here now. I'd probably be somwhere along the Caribbean drinking coconut rum or whatever they drink there.
But the other thing he did that annoyed the cap outta me was that he, as our boss and manager, and lead programmer, would always try to (rightfully, I suppose) give his opinions on the art team. But the dude has no freaking idea about anything related to art. Like, ANYTHING. Doesn't know anything about colors, composition, etc, and would always make me re-do my work 2 to 4 times because he didn't like it, when everyone else liked it.
It's like he asked me to re-do (from scratch) just for the hell of it. I'd give him a ton of concepts, we'd pick one, develop that one to final stage, and he'd ask me to do another one because he didn't like that one as much as he thought he'd like. OH, and I've NEVER seen him work during the shift. Guy'd be playing freakin dota2 while I was working my ass off.
Theres a whore where i work. Everyone knows it, but keeps quiet because we all want to get along at work. Most of us are women, in which she isnt interested, so it doesnt bother us much. The problem is when HER free time is suddenly the most fucking important thing in the world.
Doctors appointment that you have waited for for 2 months for a SPECIALIST to see you about an ongoing problem that causes you daily discomfort and pain?
Sorry, you cant leave early. Her husband doesnt like to babysit alone.
But then she goes to a bar to get shitfaced and fuck some guy her husband doesnt know about....
Well thats annoying. But then when you tell another co worker who supposedly shares this opinion of her that you are upset (didnt even do this AT work, but at home), he goes and blabs to her that I called her a whore and slandered her "good name" ...
I love sex too. the only difference is that i dont hide it from my husband and hurt his feelings by having....so ....so.....so many partners.
So after the weekend i come back and shes got a major attitude. Im doing my job normally, but for some reason im a billion times more busy and didnt get to everything on the list by LUNCH
so she comes and takes over my responsibilities, starts ordering me around, yelling and snapping and being a bitch
and then THREATENS ME in front of customers!!
So... i have two annoying co workers right now. This bitch whore and the guy who cant keep his mouth shut because "she made me tell her."
(gnash teeth) raaaaarrrrr
I know exactly how you feel. I hate when idiots try to tell me what would look better in art. I get it from clients who commission me. they tell me "can you have it more like (insert bad color scheme, poor figure positioning, horrible background composition)" and im like uhhhh well the problem that presents with that is that it makes the figure look stiff and inhuman, and throws your eye right off the page... I can always work something out with color. .... ... . . . . . always.
NOPE they want it how THEY want it and any other way is wrong...
FINE YOU CAN HAVE IT YOUR WAY BUT ITS GOING TO BE HIDEOUS AND YOU HAVE BAD TASTE IN WOMEN NAO PAY ME!!!!
lol

Ruffles have ridges!....and so do Klingons.
You ask for fun stories, unfortunately this one ain't fun at all.
I was working as a second cook, the main cook, was basically hysteric, she would SHOUT at me, you could see her face burning with rage as if it was about to explode (her face was also kinda tiny which somehow made it hilarious). She was under a lot of stress, according to her, and barely slept at night.
I lasted a week and then quitted the job.
While not a funny story, this co-worker was most definitely annonying.

this feels like working at McDonald
YES! That's exactly what he would do. He'd bitch at me because the background wasn't as detailed as what was important to be shown in the picture. Or because it was a bit more desaturated, Idk, he'd bitch about everything to make the picture not picture what it was supposed to picture.
this is basically the same in my office, low worker morale is an understatement. the work day is so boring and hallow that i can't imagine anyone being that productive. the turn over rate is high, salary is low, barely any benefits, we get the jewish holidays off but that's taken out of our regular national holidays so that really means jack shit. all the at least semi competent people left, i'm myself leaving soon to join the military, because fuck this place. i'm joining the military at 29, just to get the fuck out of this shit hole.
