Annoying people?

[gidget1978]

What does everyone do when annoying people tend to talk/visit to much?

I work at the airport so there are people around all the time. They aren't around me as such but just in the area. I work for a refueling stop for private jets going from the U.S to Europe...or vice versa. This past winter my boss also got involved in snow clearing on the side and employed some other people, one guy who currently works at the airport already.
Welllll...this guy drives me completely insane. He is the kind of person who continously visits but as nothing important to say. On top of that whatever he does say, doesn't matter to me. Just useless rambling that I don't care about. And the BS he talks about is UNREAL! Im not joking. This guy has done everything, been everywhere and has done everything better then anyone else. Just full of crap!
I guess he sees my jeep when he is working and keeps comming here for a visit. I don't know why he does this. Im thinking its b/c I am nice to him and b/c of this I must enjoy his company. I have nothing to say to him so everytime he shows his nose, my blood pressure goes up on bust! Im thinking "WTH do you want now"? And I don't think he comes here b/c he is interested in me or anything...he is married, but I don't get that vibe from him. I think he truly thinks I enjoy his presents! I don't mind someone comming here every once in a while but 2-3 x's a week?
When he came over the other day, I had just made a batch of cookies. One of my coworkers wanted one and I said " sure, take 2 or 3" He then says," no just one.Ive lost 12 lbs in 10 days but I still weight 248 lbs" Then the pain in my arse says " I use to weigh 238 lbs but I had a stomach virus and lost 80 lbs. I lost 50 lbs in 48 hours and the other 30 lbs in 2 weeks" Now, come off of it! Do I have STUPID wrote across my forehead? I didn't even have the energy to argue with him! I asked him how he can't it off b/c anyone knows that the weight you lose when you are sick you normally gain back when you resume normal eating. He claims that he doesn't keep still long enough. And Im thinking..."if you are on the move so much, why did you have 80 extra lbs on to begin with"?
I am going to start locking the doors on my night shift. He comes through the back door so I can't even see him comming in, so I will start locking the doors at night. And I guess I will just have to look busy in the day time and eventually he will get the hint.
UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I don't have it in me to be mean...why can't I be a &itch?

LOL,Lorie! Im sorry this guy has become a pest...yes lock the doors eventually he'll get the picture!

Sounds to me like he might have a little crush on you;-)!

Honestly? He sounds like he is lonely, and yeah, probably has a little crush going on. Can't you say you are busy and can't talk or your boss or whatever will get upset? Tell him, your boss has seen how much he hangs around and is coming down on you for "socializing" during work.

A little white lie, but sometimes those are okay.

i agree. maybe he just wants a "friend" somebody that does not pass judgement but even though he needs to understand personal space. once in a blue moon coming to talk is okay but all the time is distracting you from your work. i think tneah's suggestion of a little white lie isn't a bad thing,b/c honestly at some point that might be true that your boss will be upset with the socializing whether invited or not.

Hi!
Maybe you can pick up your cell phone when you see him coming and pretend to talk on it. But, be sure to turn it on silent mode in case it really does ring! Then you can ignore him and do your normal work with your other hand. Or, if you get an earpiece, just wear that all the time, and do your normal work with both hands, but, when he comes in just pretend to be on a phone call!

I think you are too nice to him that's why he hangs around. He thinks you're his friend.

The idea is to die young as late as possible.

Errrrrr! I feel your stress. I really have issues with people who are all about themselves. It's important to stand up for yourself but you can do it in a kind way - at least initially. ;-) How about saying to him at some point during his ramblings, "thanks for stopping by but I have to get back to work now" or "I have to concentrate/focus on what I'm doing. Have a good day." Short and sweet. If he keeps on talking, just say it again. People like that need to find people who are too "nice" to say something back. I know people who wouldn't have tact and the message would be heard loud and clear. :7 Good luck!

I used to work with a man just like this. He sat in a desk that butted up to mine and it was torture each day to listen to him! I sooo feel your frustration. Sorry!

I am not someone who finds it easy to be mean or straight out tell someone to stop coming by so much, but he is interrupting your work and that is not okay.

The suggestions on being busy on the phone, even if your not sound great! And maybe he'll get the idea.

Good luck,
Mary

I suggest eating beans and cabbage before work. You won't have to say anything to scare him away.....
