How to deal with workplace annoyance...

So say you work somewhere with only a handful of employees. And say one of those employees is a part-time art student. And say this part-time student is totally inexperienced and unprofessional yet thinks that all his ideas are pure brilliance and yours are crap even though you've got 13 years experience in related fields and he's taking a class on something that almost sort of has something to do with what your company does.



What do you do with such a person, should he/she exist in your workplace?

Bring a gun. Pretend to conceal it.



If that doesn't work, wave it around menacingly.



If that doesn't work, quit your job at the post office.

What you need to do is go to an auction and pick up as much big, heavy machinery that a person could easily get stuck in as you can.

Pick and choose your projects. Tell him how impressed you are with his skills and that you're sure that he'd be better suited to the big ones.



Sit back, take long lunches. Do the minimum work, leave early. Sooner or later his lack of experience and his ego will Frost him up and you'll be the golden boy once again.

Bring in an axe and just sit it right were everyone can see it. Then let him ramble on about how his ideas are so great and then just camly reach for the axe and just hold it for a bit until he asks what the hell you are doing. Then camly stand up and chop his hands off! That will take care of any artistic "talent" that he had. Then you can staple his hands to your area of work and let everyone know what will happen if they talk Shakespeare on your work. And if that Emerson complains about chopping his hands off, slam that Shakespeare in his skull and leave it there!

This is a tough one. The trouble with young, college-age kids is that they have no freaking clue just how clueless they really are about the world. No matter how much you try to tell them they just figure you're an old fart who has long since given up on anything interesting.



Do you have any allies at work? Because everyone in the company might feel the exact same way as you.

If your company requires ID badges, do the following:



1. Copy picture.

2. Photoshop. I recommend goatse, but whatever suits your fancy.

3. Get the little bastard fired.

4. PROFIT!

Ways to Deal with Inflated Egos at the Office (based on true events).



By Kittuns



1. When collaborating with him, let him go on and on about his great idea. Tell him that it's great and that you'll use it. Then, use your own idea and when he confronts you about it look him in the eye and say, "And you are?"



2. Ask him to mock up his ideas. When he gives you a proof, photocopy the proof and collage the proof back to the way you think it should be. Include stick men and glitter.



3. Start hanging out in his work area and eat with your mouth open.



4. When you work over him, always slowly rub your groin against the armrest on his chair.



5. Start drinking heavily at the job. Make crackpot decisions based on your Ouiji board. Sleep with his girlfriend.

Listen to one of his ideas all the way through. Encourage him if need be. As soon as he's done, point out every single flaw in his plan and make it obvious how utterly stupid it is. Use phrases like "Now, an experienced person would have done this..." or "There's a very good reason why this isn't done" and "If you'd take your head out of your ass every now and then, you may realize that..." Nothing like pointing out another's inadequecies to lower an ego. Truth hurts.

Whenever he happens to be leaning over a desk, walk quietly up to him and pinch one of his ass cheeks with your middle finger and thumb - as hard as possible.



This will hurt like hell, but just pretend like nothing happend with a good old "hey man whatcha doing?"



Several weeks of this will leave him terrified of you, not only will he never talk to you again, every time you enter the room, he'll freak.

Well now I have a way of getting rid of him, find some syrup if Ipecac in your pharmacy or some chemical store and when he is drinking soda of some other dark liquid, put one tablespoon in his drink when he is gone. Then you have about 15 mins of waiting, then he will explode in projectile vomiting and this really screws up his work area or anywhere he is. The trick is to hide the taste and the consistency of the syrup in a drink and this really works trust me.
