Coworker Crossfire

When, in a group discourse with a boss, the boss switches subjects and speaks to a single member of the group about which you (and/or the others) have no understanding. Consequently, unwilling to awkwardly leave, one must bear being caught in the crossfire of the two conversing thereby becoming conversational deadweight.

Eric: "So coworker 1 and I have wrapped up the webpage summary"
Boss: Good
Boss (To coworker 1):Did you get that report on the budget for next quarter?
Coworker 1: Yeh but I had a problem with ...
(Eric, having no purpose in the conversation, stands silent in front of the bosses desk)

Later on: "Dude, I just had to bear 10 minutes of Coworker Crossfire in the bosses office"

Annoying Coworker

The person in every office who thinks that the most obscure, uninteresting personal details of their sad, sad, lives is of the utmost of importance to all those who work within walking distance of their office. Often interested in Macintosh, Kiss collectibles, and Perms.

"Oh man, Peter really wouldn't shut up this morning about those fractals...."

Insufferable Attention Coworker

The coworker in the office next to you that constantly feels the need to "one up" you with all types of vain and material possessions. He/She is attempting to fill the void in his/her life and simply cannot even mask the desperate attempt for attention

Insufferable Attention Coworker- "How was your Christmas? Torie bought me a $600 Northface jacket; this is my fourth"

Insufferable Attention Coworker-"Have you seen my new diamond ring? I just got it from my Husband. It's like yours but bigger."
