Most of us have had at least that one coworker who’s made our lives a little harder.
You know the type — the one who talks too loudly, takes up too much space on the desk, borrows your charger and returns it broken, or someone who seems to make everything about themselves rather than the team.
These aren’t just small annoyances… they decide how much we enjoy going to work and how well the whole office functions.
So you know you’re not alone in these experiences, Bored Panda has rounded up a list of the most terrible and selfish coworkers out there.

#24 Coworker Asked Me To Watch Her Kids (For Free) While She Goes Out Drinking

I met this woman about a year ago at work, and we became friends. We used to hang out together about once a week, but I am in nursing school and have not had much free time lately, so unfortunately, I have to turn down invitations quite often during the semester. Not only that, but I am failing a class and need to do well on my final to pass, so I have been studying a lot as finals week is only days away. She constantly asks me to do favors for her, like taking her kids to school or taking them to dance class, since she is a single mother. I always try to go out of my way to help her out, but it's getting to the point where I just can't handle it anymore.
She is 20 years older than me, yet always asks to borrow money since she is "broke", yet can afford to spend $500 on concert tickets or spend money on whatever else she wants. Long story short, this is how she responds to me after asking if I could watch her kids so that she could go to the bar. I am thinking about ending this "friendship," but it would also be super awkward since we work together. Not sure what to do at this point

#27 Can’t Afford To Go Out For My Birthday, So A Coworker Brought Me A Salmon Steak From His Fishing Trip For Me To Have For Dinner. It Was Gone By 9 Am

What’s even worse is that I spent the last of my grocery money until payday on a lemon and a bottle of white wine to cook it in. Can’t return the wine, and I can’t drink due to a medication I’m on.

#30 Old Coworker Requests Money

We worked together for about a year and a half, and she’d ask for money every so often and pay me back after about a week or two. I went on maternity leave in January of last year and have been out of work ever since. This is only like the 3rd time she’s requested since I’ve left, but frustrating cause I also don’t have a dollar to my name. I’d send money if we weren’t struggling with money and food, too.

#31 Coworkers Like To "Air Out" The Trailer We Work In When It's 40⁰F In The Morning

I live in Montana and work in a trailer with two other coworkers. They will say they are airing out the trailer in the mornings when it is 40°F or colder out sometimes. I feel like this is just an excuse to try to act manly and try to prove they can stand the cold better or something. It is really frustrating, and I really want to do something to mess with them. There is no way they are comfortable when it's 40⁰F.

#33 Coworker Put Red Dots On The Barcodes None Of These Items Even Had A Price On Them

Work at Dollar Tree. One of my coworkers decided to put red dots on the barcodes of some of the glasses and mugs. My manager and I spent an hour taking them off. We’re only supposed to put red dots on some of the $1.25 items because a lot of things are going up to $1.50. But these glasses didn’t even have the $1.25 sign on them—they just sat there and put stickers on all the barcodes. The store manager has told us 50 times not to do this.

#39 Coworker Dropped My Lunch And Didn’t Say Anything

Ordered some chicken over rice, which is my favorite meal, and one of my coworkers knocked over the meal in the work fridge. Got home to finish it, and this is what I find. Cost $30 to order it on Uber Eats.

#40 Senior Cook Is Sabotaging Food

I'm the newest cook at a sushi house—my senior coworker, who is a younger immigrant that doesn't speak much English, has been harassing me and making my job harder, and I think it's because he thinks I'm going to try to take his job. Last night during a rush, instead of focusing on his station, I found him trying to re-sauce my sushi and drown it in the process—I stopped him partway, and he got angry, but the massive puddle of spicy mayo on the edge of the left roll is the result. We share tips, so I always try to give the customer a great-looking roll with an appropriate amount of sauce.
