You don't buy collectible coins from the bank

One of my coworkers is extremely annoying. He's a Mr. Know-it-all. Then when you prove him wrong, he just says something like "well I could be wrong but..." I hate when he starts talking.

Today he was talking about buy collectible coins from the bank. At least 3 of us immediately corrected him to say that you don't buy new dollar coins at the bank. 1 person goes to a coin dealer. I look on the CSN shopping channel. You can find a wide variety of coins at huge discounts over a dealer. Besides that, I can watch them on tv or go to their website to check out the products before hand. If I don't like a product, I can always send it back. You sure can't do that with a dealer.

Maybe now that he's been proven wrong, he'll be quiet. Somehow I doubt it though.

Re-enacting programs

Quite a few people at my job listen to the Steve Harvey morning show. I don't listen to it myself but that's another post. Anyway, one person always re-enacts the show every morning and it's so annoying. Every day we have to listen to his version of a skit.

I am not a morning person, so to hear him creating a ruckus at 8am starts to get old fast. Last week, he sent a email to the show describing another co-worker. They read it on the air around 7:30 because he asked them to read it at that time. He called the person the letter pertained to so he could hear it also. Then we had to listen to that all day. If he didn't tell the story at least 10 times, he didn't tell it at all.

People, before you start with your comedic efforts make sure the people being subjected to them really want to hear them. Or else you risk becoming the annoying co-worker.
