Hey, I took a look because I thought I might pick up some new techniques.  Unfortunately, this little document is about things you might do that might tick off your co-workers and why you shouldn&#8217;t do it.  I don&#8217;t do the ones listed here.<\/p>\n<p>I have, however, inadvertently stumbled across other surefire techniques to, if not tick off, at least raise hackles of, co-workers and office mates.  So might I suggest the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Audible smacking of gum.<\/b>\n<li><b>Real-time audio commentary to whatever sputteringly shocking news story you are looking at on the Web.<\/b>  Also, do this for at least six hours a day.\n<li><b>A messiah complex<\/b>, wherein you exclaim to anyone who is listening that you are the greatest <i>job title<\/i> that ever was, but low how they mistreat you.  Oh, how sorry they will be when you&#8217;re gone.  How lonely they will be in the silence of the whining.\n<li><b>Answering questions that weren&#8217;t asked<\/b> and then vigorously defending your position to a startled co-worker.  Remember to get angrier if he or she agrees or tries to appease you.\n<li><b>Clearing the nose and the throat with gusto.<\/b>  Every couple of minutes.\n<li><b>Vigorous scratching and appropriate relief noises<\/b>, particularly if you can bare the skin to scratch.\n<\/ul>\n<p>I am sure my former office mate could add more to this list, but until the doctors break through his catatonia defense mechanism, we&#8217;ll never know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MSN has Ten Surefire Ways to Tick Off Your Coworkers on its Careers site.
