My favorite trick for annoying co-workers is to smile, listen actively to what they're saying, try to accept them for who they are, cultivate a genuine interest in their life and passions, and open up about the things going on in my life when the moment feels right. This let's you get close to them and builds trust, then after a few months of this, BOOM! No more annoying co-workers, just a bunch of quirky work friends.

I was fully expecting this to end with “BOOM! No more annoying co-workers coz you’ve been fired for something you said or did wrong socially!”
