No Self-Awareness
I had a boss who had no idea of his body odour problem, and everybody was too tactful to break it to him. Not so a visiting Rev Ian Paisley: "What the blazes is that smell? Is it you?" That sorted it. Stories of people blissfully unaware of their bad smells, bad manners and foghorn voices.

Inane drivel.
I have a colleague who has realised that the other people in the office are effectively a captive audience. As a direct result, for the past few years she has spent at least an hour each morning telling us about her plans for the evening, the dates she's been on, who she thinks should win endemols latest 'reality' series, the latest gossip from heat, OK and various other celebrity gossip rags, what clothing she intends to buy, footballer she would like to shag and who she aspires to be like.
For almost three years now, she has been blissfully unaware that not one person that she has inflicted this outpouring of verbal diahorrea upon has has shown any inclination towards giving a fuck about any of it what-so-ever.

Man the fuck up and tell her that she's annoying you and you all prefer to sit around in silence.
Your office sounds like a fun place to work.

I've not been directly subjected to this since I told her that Katie Price should be shot.
It was bizarre how the indirect approach worked so well. The office is a miserable place lately, but I've accepted it for what it is as I inevitably slide into a state of depression, staring at the job pages that are representative of a stagnant underpaid job market and lack of real prospects that have recently overwhelmed the city in which I live....
