    Hannah, because in a few months she won’t be just engaged so she will turn less annoying.

    Also Wallace. I generally don’t mind old people. Maybe I’m getting old myself but stay off my lawn!

      Plot twist, her fiancee refuses to commit to a date and she will be engaged for years, constantly planning a wedding that will never come. Growing more and more frustrated and vocal about her upcoming wedding.

        It’s against my morals to use another persons mental anguish for my own amusement, but if she annoys me for years even after I’ve brought it up with Susan from HR I would eventually do that.

      Same picks for the same reasons.

      … although I’m less proud to admit that I read it as “Known Father” the first time, didn’t catch it until I came to the comments, and he still didn’t make the top 2.

      I just kinda figured that “Known Father” meant he was always talking about his kids and experiences with parenthood, and that was enough to eliminate him.

      Wallace. Wallace probably doesn’t give a fuck anymore, and once you gain his trust, is going to say some hilarious shit as a result.

        Thats it, he knows the company doesn’t give a fuck and hes just waiting it out. Also I bet he has some stories or wisdom to bestow.

          Yeah Wallace is solid, he’s just running out the clock at this point. Bring in some snacks and treat him like a human and he’ll do anything he can to help you.

      This is the correct answer… As long as there’s no patchouli in it… That shit smells awful

    I’ve had Hannah, Caleb, Wallace and Susan.

    • Hannah is annoying at first, but it will blow over.

    • Caleb will talk about sports and that will be all he talks about. You can tune him out, but he will learn to hate you, because you don’t value his feats of manliness.

    • Wallace is ok at first, but becomes really tiresome. His worldview is from 1920s, blatantly racist and doesn’t realize it, judges you constantly according to some stereotype that is based on some guy he knew 100 years ago and gives you occasional corrective sermons that make no sense, because they are for that guy he once knew.

    • Susan appears to be ok, but is a psycho. Will try to manipulate you and delegate stuff to you, even though doesn’t even work in for the same department. Everything is a thing that will be decisive to your career and soon marks you down as a looser, because you don’t listen to her. Will leave the company, because everyone is a looser.

    Edit: so anyone in the top four. Office already stinks and on music is allowed.

      The last two guys in my team that got retired were 65, but excellent people, and taught me lots, so my first instinct was Wallace. But reading your report, it occurs to me that maybe the description “Is like 100” actually implies a certain oldness of mind that I didn’t consider.

      I’ve been sharing an office with a Wallace. It can be tiresome. But one can occasionally learn things and ignoring the annoying parts can be part of what you can learn. I’d certainly chose Wallace of these options.

    Absolutely Wallace. He looks like he prefers to work in dead silence - thumbs up.

      Never shuts up about how the country has gone to hell, complaining about “the queers”, etc, etc, etc.

        He could be a union supporter though - in my experience of doing labor organizing, the younger folks are usually more pro-union, then there’s a dead zone of support from the Boomers, and then the really old folks are much more supportive because they grew up when unions were more of an active force.

        If Wallace is down to organize, then I’d pick him and just take the risk that he’s got some shitty opinions that I’ll have to work through and re-educate him on.

      Alternatively, he’s the type of old fart that constantly makes calls when they could’ve been emails.

      Finally the voice of reason. And until then I got an extra cool Grandpa figure in my life to tell me goofy stories.
