Let’s be real—everyone has that one co-worker who drives them up the wall. Perhaps it’s the chatterbox who can’t stop sharing every detail about her kids, as if their every burp deserves a round of applause. Or it could be the guy whose bathroom habits are less than discreet, leaving an unpleasant trail for all to witness. Then there’s the self-appointed “boss” who constantly hovers over your shoulder, or the pandemic-denier who insists on coming to work despite persistent coughs.
Toxic colleagues seem to be lurking around every corner, and many are fed up.
One confessor wrote, “I think it’s disgusting for my co-worker’s family to create a GoFundMe for his funeral costs. He worked in healthcare and refused to get vaccinated. He knew the risks and now expects others to cover for his decisions. No thanks.”

Another shared, “I’m furious that my unvaccinated co-workers are now sick and I have to cover for them. Should I feel sorry for their choices? This is so selfish!”

Then there’s the co-worker who “randomly screams curses, slams her stuff around, and proudly claims she doesn’t care. I get it, but we’re all stuck here too.”

And let’s not forget the office gossip: “I overheard co-workers discussing my pregnancy and criticizing my body. I lost 18 lbs during pregnancy, and my doctor advised against it. Why are they so cruel?”

The most frustrating part about working with unpleasant people is that you end up spending more time with them than your own family. “I joined a tight-knit group of women who didn’t like me even before I started. They’re all over my pregnant co-worker while I feel completely ignored.”

One person expressed, “I’m the quiet, caring type. I’ve been working full-time for six years, and it’s exhausting. I wish I could work from home and take care of myself. People drain me.”

Experiencing rudeness, like the 36-year-old who cried in the bathroom after being insulted by a colleague, is all too common.

And who can forget the inappropriate comments? “One co-worker drunkenly insulted our boss and made vile remarks about his ex-wife’s miscarriage. I don’t see how anyone puts up with him.”

Dealing with annoying colleagues is a challenge, especially for those of us who just want to get our work done and head home to our real lives. “I confided my frustration about a co-worker to another and now I’m facing more problems. I thought I could trust her, but that’s over now.”

“My coworker always claims to be busy while making another colleague look bad. I’m currently watching her binge TV at her desk and take smoke breaks.”

“I’m counting down the days until my co-worker retires. I won’t miss her at all.”

Sometimes the worst colleagues are those who are mentally checked out, making it difficult for the rest of us. “My best friend at work constantly complains about her job. I want to yell at her to pick her poison since she also hates her family!”

And finally, “a former co-worker left for a big promotion, and I can’t help but feel jealous.”

The bottom line? Working with troublesome individuals can be incredibly draining, making you long for a peaceful work environment.
