Stress caused by dim-witted co-workers may give you a fatal heart attack!

I want to know how they measure this. Everyone I know thinks they are smarter than their idiot co-workers. Even my idiot co-workers.

Working With Idiots Can Kill You Not if you kill them first.

All of us have our moments of dimness but occasionally you have someone in your office who's moments occur with alarming frequency.

Another stupid research project. The stress of dealing with others in omnipresent. Coworkers, neighbors, the public, people in the media, etc., etc.

A big AMEN to this one. But raising teenagers will do the same thing.

I quit a job in a bindery once because of the crack addicts working there. The owner was afraid he would be called a racist if he fired them.
Anyone who has ever worked with paper trimmers knows that they're dangerous enough without crackheads playing dangerous games while you're trying to operate the machines.

...because she thought it meant the records would be recycled and used again.This is partly Micro$oft's fault for embracing political correctness. There is a way (obviously requiring lightyears more intelligence than these poor folks possess) to rename it to "Trash" or "Garbage" and apply it to every user profile.

Demoncrats can do the same.

Yes. That's why firing was invented.
It saves on Insurance costs.

I think so, after all it was in the Weekly World News. ; )

A man told us he collapsed right at his desk because the woman at the next cubicle kept asking him for correction fluid -- for her computer monitor. HA HA HA HA HA! I'm going to have to remember this one!

An accountant in Passamaquoddy had a coronary when a secretary said she believed a story written in the Weekly World News.

I work in an office of 12 people. There are no divas...but a new employee had to put toner in the copier...I showed her how. She shook toner all over the wall, all over the copier, all over the floor.
The next day she said to me, "It is totally inappropriate for me to be dealing with the copier."
HUH?
To: M. Peach
These people don't realize that stupid coworkers are there to entertain you. For example, see if you really can get your PHB to try to re-boot his laptop by holding it upside-down over his head and shaking it.

Several years ago I would have laughed at this article, but in my latest position, I work with some of the most incompetent people within my business field I have ever worked with.
I was lured, by the V.P. that I would make the difference in the operation and be running it within one year as he weeded out the nincompoops he inherited, when he hired on. He left six months after he hired me, because he couldn't get the owners to make moves on friends that they had running the operation, basically working part-time while getting a full time salary
It is the absolutely most frustrating thing I have ever had to endure.
I almost hate having to go to work on Mondays knowing I will have to straighten out, correct, redo almost everything that will happen tomorrow.
BTW, I'm looking to get out ASAP.
