Every Lubbock Workplace Has These Coworkers

It doesn't matter where you work in Lubbock; the same cast of characters can be found in every business. You may think your coworkers are unique, but...we've all pretty much got the same bunch, just different flavors.

The Lubbock Cowoker Breakdown (It's Scientific AF)

The Breakfast Dealer

round doughnuts with sprinkles

Every morning, this person shows up with a sack of burritos or a box of donuts from that yummy spot down the street. They are basically everyone's unofficial breakfast delivery service. Get in good with this guy, and you'll have the hook-up on kolaches.

The Space Heater Criminal

It's over 100 degrees outside, and for some reason, they still have a space heater under their desk from winter, AND they are wearing a hoodie and two pairs of socks. They are always freezing, and they say, "Gosh, it's cold in here!" every time they pass you at the water cooler.

The Local Celebrity

crow of people

This person knows everybody in town and can barely make a quick lunch run without stopping to chat with 2 or 3 people. They are super popular at work, in their personal life, and everywhere in between.

The Snack Fairy

cooked beans

They keep the breakroom stocked with candy and leftover birthday cake. Next to the breakfast dealer, they are everyone's favorite coworker.

The One Who Never Takes A Vacation (And Reminds You About It Every Day)

This person refuses to take a day off work and then wears that fact around like a badge of honor. They are obnoxious, and EVERYONE desperately wants them to take a long, long, long vacation. Like. Now.

But...they can't... they've got too much paperwork to do, and...

The Facebook Reporter

You haven't even had your morning coffee, and they are already spilling the tea on someone's midnight Facebook post meltdown. This person will keep you informed, whether you want to be or not.

The One Who Has Been There Forever

This employee is a relic from the past. They are always talking about the "good old days, back before we (insert something frustrating the company did without consulting them)."

The Energy Drink Guzzler

black soda can

They are wide awake and ready to tap their pen enough to drive you totally insane.

The Office Parent

This person always has ibuprofen, Tums, stain remover, a phone charger, and, I'm willing to bet, jumper cables when you need them.

The Loud Talker

You can hear them on a phone call all the way down the hall with their door closed. You get used to it. When they aren't at work, it's just too quiet.

The Loud Walker

This person is usually a woman in heels. You can hear her coming long before she gets to you, stomping those thangs the whole way there.
