The 7 Types of People You'll Meet at Work

 1. The Seedy Douche Colleague

The type of person who’s always first to say hello to the new intern on her fist day. Always elaborating on past girlfriends and one night stands, this man will certainly trigger your bad moods on a Monday morning.

2. The Lucky Manager

The type of person who's only important because their the boss’s nephew. Usually open to building peer relationships, but unbothered with job security, he/she will refuse to stop talking about their large interior office space. Not the one for encouragement. 

3. The ‘Back In My Day’ Specialist

The type of person who uses every opportunity to remind you that him/her has worked at the company for 14 years. Generally difficult to be a little immature around. Always prepare yourself for a long debate on smartphones and fashion when their close by.

4. The 'Keen to Kick Back' Worker

The type of person who looms around the office looking for group chats, but is only filled with questions surrounding everybody's plans outside of work. 3-4 times a day will they mention the events around town. Don't be hesitant to reject their offer for late night drinks on a Tuesday night, a day before a client meeting.

5. The Trend Trailing Worker

The type of person who’s always putting the unnecessary yards to become the ultimate 50 year old hipster. Owner of all the gadgets released in the past year, though it has taken them the whole year to be comfortable with it all. Usually goes through 5 different work shirts, but only two pair of jeans. Casual Fridays? More like ‘Casual Everyday’. This person will also mention all the latest viral videos or pics...a week after its been trending.

6. The Rulebook Police

The type of person who's peeking behind your shoulders, spying under your desk, or making occasional toilet trips to make sure no one is wasting their daily wages slacking in the bathroom toilet. Constantly ranting about workplace safety, but also constantly making you feel rebellious for logging out of your computer one minute early.

7. The Extreme ‘Outdoors’ Worker

The type of person that make you feel bad for staying inside or even sitting down at all. Always catching the last few hours of daylight after work mountain biking, hiking, or beach running. Or, seemingly finding themselves half way around the world, falling from a plane 14,000 ft high, on a Wednesday afternoon.

The 7 Types of People that Post on Instagram

1.       The Fitness Guru

Who knew that being healthy would be so trendy. Selfies in the gym mirror showing off the ‘gains’ and the latest pair of Nike Free Run shoes and pictures of smoothies and lush salads in which kale and quinoa are featured un-ironically. These people are healthier and fitter than the rest of us, and they will let us know. But don’t worry, they are kind enough to caption their workout and diet regimes along with “fitspiration” quotes. EAT SLEEP GYM REPEAT

2.       The Party Animal

A club logo in the bottom right corner, glasses or red cups of vodka-somethings in hand, and friends hanging off every shoulder. All of these features have become a permanent fixture in this persons Instagram posts. This person is partying hard and partying frequently, and needs us to know what a great time they are having. And don’t worry, if they didn’t get a photo at the club or at the party, you bet they will be posting a bathroom selfie, drink in hand, caption with something like ‘pre-munt’. It’s inevitable.

3.       The Pet Lover

It learnt a new trick? It got a new jacket? It fell asleep in a funny position? They took it for a walk? It curled up next to you? It’s its birthday? It’s national pet day? There’s a post for that. Actually, when you think about it, the same can be said for people with babies.

4.       The Text Poster

Rarely will you find a photo of this person’s actual life, of them doing something fun or seeing something cool. You will, however, witness Ghandi 2.0 in action. Inspirational quotes written in calligraphy (or more accurately, fancy, swooshy writing) are posted by these people just to let you know that ‘things get better’ or ‘you can do anything you want to if you put your mind do it’.

5.       The Traveler

This person seems to find themselves in the most beautifully scenic locations every day. While you are still lying in bed at 10:30 am scrolling through your Instagram feed for the 4^th time because you can’t think of anything worth getting out of bed for, they are at a beach, or on a walk along a river, or at the snow, or next to some mountains or at some secluded park. You sometimes wonder how they have the time to be cruising round to all these picture perfect spots. To be fair, they could probably make a dump look like a place worth going to.

6.       The Foodie

 
They seem to always have the most delicious food in all the land at every meal. They are hitting up the most popular and trendy restaurants or serving up dishes that are way beyond what their 19 year old capabilities should allow. In a nutshell, each post makes us hopeful that we will one day experience these great foods, jealous that we are not, and angry that we probably never will.

7.       The Selfie King/Queen

It speaks for itself. You are never going to forget this frequently uploaded face.
