Help, there is a loud mouth, know it all at my work place...?

dont worry we had one of those...her *** got fired...they'll get what's coming to them

Try this- let's call the pain in the butt- Jane.

Jane, we are getting ready to have a ***** session about people that interrupt others while they are speaking and want to know what you think about it. Let her answer and no one else say a word. When she finally runs down, have others speak one at a time. If she interrupts, explain that she has been given the opportunity to state her opinion without interruption and that others would expect the same opportunity. Then laugh and say, you better be careful, someone might think we are talking about you! As far as the smell... we had the same problem in our office with a coworker. We stuck a really smelly air freshener under her desk, I think it was a cheap pine one from the dollar store; and when she said something really stinks in here, we all said..I think it is coming from your desk...

I agree with the first answer, you will have to learn to deal with it. If you do not want her opinion, the be careful what you talk about around her. If you REALLY feel you need to say something to her, take time to plan what you want to say, then say it factually, without attitude or opinion, try to keep it about how you feel, as opposed to blaming her, that will just put her on the defense, and remember to be calm and professional.

you know, i would pull them off to the side and say, you i really like you but you are so loud sometimes that you blow me out the back door. laugh a little and then tell them that you heard somebody say that they smelled them and wanted them to know because you didn't like that they were talking about them. Make it sound like you care enuf about the person to tell them in a caring way and see if it brings awareness to this person. if you don't feel comfortable doing it, then appoint somebody in the office to do it.

there will be one or more of them on every job u go to. So unless the people want to address management in uison i suggest you learn to ignore them.

Quit complaining about me peace, I will see you on Monday!

Ask to get your desk moved or tell the person that you werent talking to them and thanks for their oppinion but next time dont give your oppinion untill i ask for it!!!

you stay away from them.
