Most Annoying & Busiest Eater Sits Next to Me in Office. I Can't Deal. There's an extremely annoying woman in my office about whom many people have complained. She never shuts up about anything - good or bad. It's obvious that she does not have any friends, so the only interaction that she has with people outside of her family is her co-workers, who can't stand her. She's the definitive cat lady in the making. She's always disheveled, never wears makeup, is tragically ugly (it's true - nothing can fix that face), and she's always complaining about anything that happens to her. Like most people in her situation, she feels like she should pitied and that other people owe her things, because her existence is not great.  I'm the unfortunate one who is forced to sit next to her. She' not obese, but she's probably overweight. Last year, she was on some dietary restriction where she couldn't have gluten. Whenever there was communal food put out in the kitchen or when we had company lunches, she told EVERYONE that she couldn't eat gluten and asked everyone if there was gluten in it (like anyone else would know). She also has a peanut allergy and eats kosher. How do I know this? Because she tells everyone - even those who don't like her. You can imagine how difficult it is to even talk to her. Finally, the admin who arranges lunches just told her that she can talk to restaurants, etc. directly. It wasn't her job to facilitate her limited diet and she wasn't going to be badgered. Couple this with the fact that she NEVER stops eating. I know this, because she has no manners, so I hear every single thing that she eats and drinks. I get sick of it to the point where I have to ask her to chew with her mouth closed, not slurp her fingers (yeah, that's how disgusting she is - she sucks the remnants of chips, etc. off of her fingers audibly), and to drink without slurping. All of this is no lasting avail. The last time I said something, she told me it was the food that was loud. Are you kidding me?? I'm about to go to HR, since the rest of my department hates her as well. She is in charge of benefits of HR, though (doesn't she fit in well there?). The second she walks into the office, she goes to her desk and starts eating. She has at least 6 meal/snack breaks throughout the day. This does not include small pieces of candy or drinks. I mean, she sits down and the first thing she does is eat. And, she'll also eat 15-30 minutes before leaving. How much can she possibly get done during the day? So today, someone brought in leftovers from a kosher mexican restaurant. You can imagine how much she flipped out. She was the first one in the kitchen. That's not a big deal. However, she already had lunch coming for her department in 30 minutes. So, she had two lunches, when there wasn't even enough of the mexican for everyone in the office. How selfish do you have to be for that? Earlier today, I also heard her say how she is cutting out carbs from her diet. Today's lunch of mexican and italian as well as a bagel yesterday aren't really making that happen, are they, cat lady? I can't stand her. She's been putting on some weight lately and she'll continue to, I'm sure. I just want to make her go away out of eyesight and earshot.
