So I work as a consultant now. IT Project Manager in a bank, to be exact.

One of these "bosses" is my direct superior, the other one is the project lead of a project I only lead a team in.

#1 - Mr. Fuck-if-I-know-what-he-is-talking-about
Half of the time I can not understand what this guy is saying. Literally! Apart from his horrid swiss-German he jumps topics in mid sentence, mumbles and looks away from you while speaking. He will toss one liners over the office and I won't get it. This is driving me insane!

#2 The "people whisperer"
SPEAK UP!
This guy whispers everything he says. I can understand his swiss, but I can't HEAR him in a normal office environment. This goes so far that he'll bring up an important peace of information and I just can't understand it because he's frigging whispering it!

Both of them make me go "huh?", "Pardon?", "Excuse me?" Over and over until I look like the dumb one.

Both of them seem to be quite the opposite of smart, I just think no one has caught up to them because of their speech habits.

No wonder I wanna be self-employed.
Thank you for letting me vent, you can wake up now. :sleep:

LoooL

hehe, nice post, in my office we have a few 'live' ones here too, such as...

#1 The "I-speak-super-fucking-loud-on-the-phone-in-the-Chillean-language" guy

dude's hella loud, but it doesnt bother too much cuz i can't understand a got-damn word he's saying.


#2 The "Everytime-I'm-On-the-phone-i-have-to-crack-a-stupid-cheesy-ass-joke" Guy

I'm in an open office environment so i pretty much hear alot of whats going on,EVERYONe does.

this guy has the most cheesiest jokes and it's always like one after another when he answers his phone, dude, rent some old eddie murphy or richard pryor stand up and step up your game...

#3 The "Big-sigh-fuckin' stressed-after-every-call" telephone customer service rep

this chick sorta gets me stressed out everytime i hear her get off the phone with someone, she'll hang up and then say out loud.."ugh, that person was so retarted!" i figure this type of stress comes with the territory. i'm waiting for the day that she doesnt fully hang up the phone and the customer hears it, that'd be an interesting situation.

#4 The "I-have-to-go-to-the-washroom-every-3-fucking-minutes-and stare-at-my-monitor" guy

swear, this guy has a bladder problem, sorta gets me annoyed cuz everytime he passes my desk, he looks at my monitors, sorta scary, i'm slowly thinking this guy is like "internal affairs" and is spying on everyone, maybe he's just curious what "WickedFire.com" is, its always up on my monitor. HA!
 
German has a lot of dialects. This can be pretty disgusting in germany already.

People from around Hannover tend to speak clear "book" or "High" German, what we refer to as "Hochdeutsch". I count in that group, Hochdeutsch is also often taken as a sign of education :D:D:D

IN germany you have dozens of dialects, including, but not limited to Bavarian, Saxon, Berlin-German, Northern German (Platt), Schwabian, etc...
Those tend to throw me off balance already.

When you get to other German - speaking countries like Austria or Switzerland you'll find a very hard dialect, almost a completely different language.

Like in swiss German you'll say "go poste" pronounced as "go poshta" when you wanna say you're going to go grocery shopping. In High German that'd be "einkaufen gehen" oh well... and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Switzerland (of course) has to be divided into all kinds of dialects. Living in Zurich took me a while to understand them, people from other parts of Switzerland, forget it!

And then there's the French and Italian speaking parts of Switzerland...AAAAAAAhhhhhhh

How about the "Talking on the bluetooth headset while taking a shit guy." We have a guy who routinely will call you and 1/2 way through the conversation he'll flush.

I NEVER understand people who do stuff like that. Friend of mine will answer his phone on the toilet as well. When I figure it out (takes a few moments) I'll hang up on his sorry ass.
