Work did a shuffle up in the office and the new cubemate is killing me. Here is a list of things he does

1 - anytime someone gets a call he replies to them as if he is the one on the call
2 - farts and tell us
3 - stares at me for 2-3 minutes at a time and doesnt say a word ( can see his reflection in the monitor)
4 - talks to himself
5 - in inter-company messages he uses baby talk (by far the weirdest one) he does not do this when boss' are involved
6 - dances by my cube every time he gets up for water or goes to the printer.
7 - lays back in his chair and rolls his eyes back in his head while patting his belly......his ritual right before lunch.


This is just stuff I have noticed in a week.......should I be worried for my safety?

Sounds like someone looking for attention. Ignore him and I bet he stops most of that after a while.

tell us more about how it feels to be a lolpoor that has to share a cube...

This is also why people start their own businesses. If you don't like them, you can just fire them.

See if he has a TexAgs account and to post his impressions of you. We need to hear both sides.

I do this to the receptionist when I walk by her. It annoys her. I hate her. She does not have nice cans.

I wouldn't get too worried. He'll burn the building down soon and all your problems will be solved.

By the responses on this thread, it looks like all of y'all are making a concerted effort to make the GB good again.

Eat the most rancid Indian curry you can find for lunch, and spend the rest of the day ****ting your pants with a fan on in his direction.

What is weird is that I dont find these annoying at all. Add "scratches his nuts in front of everyone" and spontaneously shouts out "yeah baby" throughout the day, and you could very well be my cube buddy. Heck it was these wonderful traits that got me my own office off by itself.

That guy was on my team at my last job--he had a cough for like 2 months and I thought he'd dislodge ceiling tiles.

He also had a deep, rich, loud voice that he absolutely could not control the volume on, so it was like having a conversation with your grandfather. "WHOSE TITS ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"

Lock up your coffee cup at night.

Do you mean he TYPES in baby-talk, or reads them aloud in baby-talk. Give an example.

I used to invoice an annoying coworker whenever they did something stupid and itemize the annoying action with what I determined to be fair compensation for having to put up with it.

After a few weeks of invoices the annoyances subsided.

I work in a cube and actually enjoy it. Not a lolpoor and have co-workers that work in a cube and make half a mil plus in a year (I don't scratch that high, but it's a sales job and I'd rather not do that for a living). Most of my co-workers don't suck though.
