I think one way to avoid getting irritated is maybe not to expect too much from others.

[keithdmaust]

Could you please work on volume levels? Blasting one second too low the next. Thanks!

I don't ever let a business relationship go to hate but I work with a lot of abrasive and irritating personalities. I put them in their place by never being petty, always being beyond professional, and always being one step ahead.

i hate my boss and told her to stay the fuck away from me.
we haven't spoken for the last 3 years and it has been glorious.

[karisorrenti]

You can’t have a reasonable conversation with unreasonable and horrible people.

I hated a few people I had to work with and it irritated me so much that I quit my job, but now I realize it would have been better to handle it more professionally so I don’t let people influence my job decision. It is hard though toxic people are impossible to ignore

[marielgrimoldi]

Toxic people have no place in my personal nor in my work life. I do not hate them, but i do not want to work with them. It boilds down to waiting for a stab in your back at any moment and that is not healthy at all.

If someone is a bad person you can
1. Avoid talking to them
2. Act overly friendly so they dont feel comfortable targeting you with negative behavior
3. Look for another place to work

I work in a train station for Southeastern. I do hate many of the staff. Never had those feelings when I started. But, when I saw their laziness, lack of interest, always buried in their phone, sherking their responsiblities, one taking photos of a passenger, many who state they don't give a shit about their job, always arguing and whinging and hate to be there, the list is endless..Managers are weak and don't do anything and reward those who do wrong.

I've just used in my lesson and the student enjoyed it a lot

[mattelectro]

Really poor audio editing. At 2:40 the guy's opening words are cut off by the music. Also, as someone else mentioned, the volume keeps shooting up and down.

[gabikopinits]

Absolutely loved it! Great advice, even though they are quite challenging to be put into practice.

[micchaelsilva]

Fantastic content! Tks a lot for sharing! Actually I've been using with my English students. Tks for the excellent work!

[brigittesaint-pe]

Hi There
Could you please turn the music down. It would be very appreciated. I have some difficulty to understand English but I can manage it if there isn't so loud music simultaneously as here. Thanks a lot

[ribbons]

Good video but music is too loud and the speaking is really quiet...

[Lenyxx]

because I have worked with them for years on a one on one basis is why I now loathe them. They do not give a crap about their fellow coworker. They do not care how their actions directly, negatively affect those around them. They continually do it and the boss does absolutely nothing to stop it.

[erectustesticulus]

I hate everyone purely because I’m asocial.

[anushkas]

How to get on with someone I hate at school???

[lifewhereverhoweveritis]

Thanks a lot. I hope this ideas will help me 😑

[teganpilling]

I just found out I have to share classes with my form which is full of people I don't like and no-one I'm friends with so I guess I'm gonna have to try to concentrate in a class with these people
