Paloning 

Paloning (from the Finnish word palonen "burnt") is the act of burning out your colleagues. A worker who is paloning already exists as a burnt up husk of a worker, but frustrates their colleagues to no end, leading their colleagues to experience both physical and emotional burnout.
"I feel so awful, I don't want to go to work when he is there"
"Sounds like he's paloning you...I'm so sorry you have to work with him"

Piloning 

Piloning is when a person is walking in a busy setting and stops dead in their tracks, no matter where they are to look at their phone, send a text, take a call. They don't move to the side, nor do they care for anyone behind them, next to them, or trying to get by. This behaviour often causes pedestrian sidewalk rage and should be avoided!

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
