I’ve had my fair share of creeps in life, and even though they’ve got me a whole lifetime of experience and memories, I’ve learned to avoid them at work. There are weirdos and then there are creeps, I recommend that, there is a whole overlap between these that you should avoid, especially when you’re new at work and you’re trying to fit in.
Here’s the top ten list of men who will burn your will to earn a livelihood!
1. The one who brings out the feminist in you.
The guy who’s such a narcissistic chauvinist, that it will give you a boast of feminism, that you never knew you had. And you really don’t want to be judged while being riled on by him.
2. The guy who’s too hot to be sitting at a desk job.
You know he’s no good for your concentration, career or levels of productivity, but he makes good eye-candy and that’s all he should be!
3. The guy who’s out to sabotage you.
He wants your promotion, he’s stealing your ideas and he wants to get ahead of you. Even his technique of stealing ideas isn’t original. He’ll snoop around or sweet talk you into revealing yours and just pitch it with another angle and Voila! You have a work rival.
4. The kiss-ass.
He refers to you as ‘Ma’am’, asks you if he can take a bathroom break and pretty much compliments you on every single ballerina you own, even though they look the same! You don’t need that kind of false admiration.
5. The one who thinks hooking up with you, is his way up the ladder.
Don’t fall in love with jerks, especially not those who can brag about scoring with you in the break room, with your boss listening closely.
6. The guy who is the boss’s bitch.
He’s never your friend and he’s probably never going to get you that favour you asked. But he sure as hell is giving some fodder to your boss about your attitude.
7. The guy who steals your stationery.
Hate this guy. If you see him, ask him to return my 8 pens which he ‘forgot to return’ within a period of one month. Who also replaced my brand new diary with his old one.
8. The guy who burps like a sawing machine and/or farts like a hurricane.
When you’ve already got shit pilling up in your mailbox, you don’t need to smell it. Stay exactly one other person and one whole AC away from this guy.
9. The guy who talks about his girlfriend/to his girlfriend and for his girlfriend, when said girlfriend is not even around.
He’s lovestruck and he’ll make you want to shake him and tell him that ‘Love is a lie’, but you’re scared that it would be like telling him ‘Pokemon aren’t real’. And no one wants to hear that.
10. The rebel who never comes on time and thinks the Offer Letter is a joke.
The bad boys might have been enticing in college or school, but at work, they’re going to land you in trouble. Not the kind that gets you to the Principal’s office, but the kind that gets you a pink slip.
It’s a tough world out there sister, let’s make it asshole proof.Â
