It\u2019s not that they\u2019re bad people; it\u2019s that they\u2019re horrible people. Really, I don\u2019t know how they managed to get hired in the first place.

However, I have found myself having to defend this hatred many times, which is why I have decided to write out a definitive list once and for all about why I hate my co-workers so much.

The Awkward Stare<\/b><\/big><\/big>

God forbid that one of them says good morning first. No, they will just stare awkwardly at me with their mouths slightly open until I say it first. Good morning, indeed.

The Stories<\/b><\/big><\/big>

I would take their awkward stares and silences any day over their deathly boring stories. The stories usually span anywhere from 20 minutes to a full-blown hour long tale. Stories of how their toddler crawls and falls and walks (did they expect it not to walk?) Or, my favorite, when they brag to me about their kids\u2019 official-exam scores. The themes of the stories may vary, but my discomfort is consistent.

Can you OD on tea?<\/b><\/big><\/big>

They drink a variety of herbal and extremely smelly teas throughout the entire day. That is eight hours of uninterrupted tea-drinking. I’m not sure if they\u2019re channeling the Queen of England, or if they need a constant stream of hot liquid to wash out the bullshit that resides in their mouths, but either way, it’s too damn much.

The Bathroom Huddle<\/b><\/big><\/big>

Being one of only three females in my office, and someone who needs to pee ten times before 9 a.m., I pretty much have the bathroom to myself. What do my magnificent coworkers do? They choose to hold their meetings and group hugs right outside my toilet where they sit and laugh and drink their dumb aforementioned teas. This leads to intensely awkward eye contact with each of them every time I have to go.

(Butt)Crack Kills<\/b><\/big><\/big>

Do you know how much seeing your butt-crack makes me hate you? Do you know that I can never un-see it? Do you know how much I hate myself for being able to identify each of your faces according to your butt cracks? Belts are not a popular accessory where I work.

Toes<\/b><\/big><\/big>

I will personally book you an appointment at Scholl\u2019s to fix those hooves you call feet. I will drive you there and then drop you back home.

The Undershirts<\/b><\/big><\/big>

When the weather gets warm, my co-workers take their shirts off. I\u2019ll give you guys a minute to let that sink in, read it a few times, and feel bad for me. Yes, they will take their shirts off and walk around in their undershirts like the day they came into this world. Some of their tattoos have started to show up in my nightmares.

P.S I hope every last one of you reads this article and quits.
