Things people do at work that ANNOY you - lets make a list (job offer, work from home)

[Grasonville]

I work in a small office so we eat at our desks - why do people feel the need to comment on what I bring for lunch? (Mmmm smells good - what is that?)

IT IS LUNCH - MY LUNCH - Now go away

[Bette]

Also - very personal phone calls - UGH!!!

Playing games (the real games) - any game on the computer

Co-worker in the next desk talks to herself. All. Day. Long. She also needs constant massaging and advice from the boss. The boss tells her repeatedly that 75 percent of the info does not need to be shared, but she pays no attention. Perhaps because she's always talking to herself.

Another nearby co-worker is as deaf as a post, and talks at the top of his lungs. He fashions himself as a wheeler-dealer type, tells off-color jokes to people he's chatting with on the phone, makes jokes about his wife, etc. His cell phone ring is the theme to "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly."

There's another one: cell phones. I should not be able to recognize everyone else's cell phone ringtones. No one around here has ever heard of the vibrate setting.

We get constant e-mails all day long which go to the entire office: Person X isn't coming in today; Person Y is out for the afternoon; Person A is thanking person B for his/her hard work, and then Persons C,D,E and F all add their thanks in separate e-mails. Argh.

People who stop by my office to chit-chat when I'm obviously fake typing on my computer in an effort to appear busy so they keep moving. Take the hint-I DON'T WANT TO GET STUCK IN SOME STUPID CONVERSATION WITH YOU-KEEP MOVING!!!

Gah! The cell phones... seriously people. V-I-B-R-A-T-E.

And the guy that talks so loud, you can clearly hear him even when his door is shut.

And the guy with intestinal issues. If you feel the need to fart, go to the BATHROOM or at the very least, make it silent, I don't want to hear you blowing up every 30 seconds. I don't care what problems you have, but if you can't contain yourself, you don't belong in an office environment.

Or your manager constantly canceling meetings with you, and subsequently flooding your email inbox with a thousand 2-word email questions. Seriously, I had to create a special folder...

Ha, Ha. I get the same comments from our receptionist. Drive's me crazy.

She also sees us all enter the building every morning and always a comment about what I'm wearing. "Is that a new blouse?" "Are those new shoes?" I feel like I'm being ogled every morning.

LOL!!! There was an agent at my last job that had a cell phone he would not mute when it rang and he couldn't answer it. Very frustrating. And the pagers that sat in drawers and beeped all day long because the pagee was away.
But the most annoying was when the above guy would talk at the top of his lungs about his side venture: BULL SEMEN! (tmi, tmi...)

These are sooo funny! I had to delete mine for fear it was so specific I'd be found out and someone would cry (probably me and the person I was referring to) let me just say I'm glad I am not the only one who is so annoyed by rude, super loud, interrupitive talkers who constantly feel the need to add to that by using speaker phone at all times!

[mrstewart]

The guys who tape EVERYTHING to the darn wall and then use the dry erase board in the lunch room as a magna doodle.

[b75]

People who bring stinky lunches with them. Seriously you don't need to cook fish everyday in the kitchen - it just isn't necessary! The whole building feels like it stinks after that. Like can't you eat that for dinner instead!

People who stink up the bathroom/have poor bathroom sanitary habits. Just why???
