Bad Working Environment - Session 2

Bad Working Environment – The Chatterbox


I have extremely talkative colleagues. They tend to talk and talk and talk to you about everything that is under the damn roof for as long as you can remember.

Studies had shown that office chatter by talkative employees has emerged as the biggest distraction at work. Worse than pornographic web surfing, smoking breaks and er….**office romance ( **which I may / might had or is accounted for).

I believe that every single company you worked in faces the same situation. If there’s one company that guarantees you absolute 0% office politics, that company is lying.

It’s sickening enough to get up from bed early in the morning to know that you are in for another day of un-appreciated office gossips and rumors and I am swollen with pride to admit that I’ve been caught in awkward situations that require me to choose sides.

That is certainly not something that I enjoy doing.

Anyways, today I am going to share about the lady who’s in her 40’s who constantly bombards me with her tittle-tattle about each and every ones wrong doing or sort of.

Fresh from dying her hair sparkling red since the beginning of this Chinese New Year, she has rose from some unknown to super stardom in this office. The mere mention of her name sends chills to everyone’s spine. It really is that bad.

I used to like her as a colleague for her irrational sudden outburst but then I kinda got bored of it and her continuous harassing of other people’s privacy is leaving a sour note.

She would often get into a fight over small matters; Most of the time due to jealousy over food? LV bags? Perfumes? Branded goods? Parking Lots? Salaries? Paychecks? Phone calls and Oh, the way other ladies dressed just to name a few.

I do not know what other things / creatures that DOES NOT ticks her off at this moment of time. Psychiatrist Hello? Anyone??

Just recently, she got into a very huge quarrel with one of our fellow colleagues over a car ride to a hotel. We were supposed to be attending a short talk at this hotel and we decided the most economical way of going is via a car pool.

She totally bought the idea of a carpool but however was not impressed with a certain passenger onboard due to the earlier disagreement over some insignificant matter. Over a parking space if my memory does not fail me.

So it started with a phone call with both ended up yelling profanities at each other ( in the office ). Luckily there were no fists coming out from them but a hell lot of saliva was spewed out.

Coming to think about it, I think it’s hilarious for both ladies who had reach their 40’s still bickering over a 6 x 6 parking lot.

None of them wanted to parked at the much sought after parking lot ever since. I do not know why but I eventually had the last laugh and ended up slotting my vehicle there.

Well, I just can’t comprehend why certain people tend to get so riled up over tiny matters. All this backbiting is just laughable. Oh and I decided not to mentioned about the red haired parrot throwing a tantrum over what she thought that she was not given a fair share of a birthday cake a few days back.

Some people are just simply amazing.

I think I am starting to have this immunity towards ladies who constantly gossip and nags. Thanks to Miss 40 years old here and there.
