Every one That has a job has to deal with at least one coworker who really, really annoys them. I have come up with a list of the top ten most annoying co-workers to have to work with.

10) The Gossip- This is the co-worker who runs around telling everyone's business to everyone else. People that don't work there know things about you that your best friend probably doesn't even know.

9) The mooch- This is the one who has to have everything that you have, but they will never go get their own. Apparently yours is "better". Their favorite plan of attack is to ask what you are having for lunch, with their face so close to your food the lettuce moves every time they breathe.

8) The Storyteller- This is the co-worker who likes to elaborate on things you have said. This co-worker tends to get along well with the gossip co-worker. You could tell the storyteller that your grandma went to the hospital because she slammed her hand in the trunk of the car. The storyteller then turns it into: So and So's Grandpa was hit by a car last night while he was riding his bike drunk. The storyteller has a tendency to always blow things way out of proportion.

7)The Babysitter- This co-worker is the eyes and ears for the boss. They pay attention to your phone calls, how long your lunch was, they will even follow you to the bathroom, just so that they know where you are at all times! Of course they also report your activities for the day to the head honcho, in hopes of a promotion.

6) The Way To Busy To Help (not really)- This is the co-worker you always get stuck doing large projects with, and of course those projects have a deadline. This co-worker will tell you they are way to busy to help you on the project. You end up doing the entire project yourself, and later notice that the "super busy" one spent the whole day surfing the net.

5) The Brown Noser- This co-worker needs to point out every little thing they did at work that day. "Oh look at this", "look what I did", "what would you do without me", "didn't I do a wonderful job". Those were some of the classic lines that this co-worker likes to use. It's enough to make you want to wear ear plugs to work!

I especially like the disappearing coworker. There was one lady who was always "in a meeting" when people would ask where she's been. Soooo many "meetings" but very little work.
