    coworker 1;
    Clips nails at his desk
    Very condescending tones (his natural way of speaking)
    cusses and complains 24/7
    jumps queue
    If he gets aggravated (70% of his calls) because the person has an accent or doesn't understand his instructions, he talks VERY loudly so that no one else can hear their own phone conversations.

    coworker 2;
    Any feedback from a supervisor (including QAs) is a severe and personal insult to this person
    constantly threatens to take people to HR (including supervisors) when he disagrees with them
    Regularly makes inappropriate jokes
    my supervisor sent him to HR for threatening me "jokingly". He thought I initiated that so every once in a while for months he would pipe in "better be careful or SOMEONE will send you to HR" amidst regular conversations with other coworkers.
    jumps queue
    Talks extremely disrespectfully to the team lead (like threat level disrespect)

    Little to nothing is ever done. Yet if either complains about someone else, oh stop the presses and fix the issue that is upsetting them ASAP. Oh and coworker 1 and 2 hate each other and complain about each other for the above reasons. They have the fewest responsibilities at work, and are pretty much the pot and kettle. Everyone here has their one think, but those 2 take the cake and then some.

    It's one thing to heat up something like fish in the break room. But to bring it back to your desk and stink up half the building? That's annoying AF.

    Most of the people in this room LOVE spicy stuff. Food is NOT allowed on the call floor. But several of them get these spicy wings from a food truck and always eat them in this SMALL room. These particular wings may not be volcano spicy according to them, but the smell or fumes always leaves my throat sore and sometimes irritates my eyes. I've pleaded with them not to eat them in this room, but they don't care. I wouldn't care if it didn't cause actual physical discomfort. A couple of times so many people ate them throughout the day that i had a sore throat the rest of next 1-3 days. It's not like we don't have a big cafeteria 20 feet from our door.

    It's sort of like, an office version; of a neighborhood! I'd ask, how some of these people; haven't lost their jobs because of their behavior but then you'd be able to ask me, the same concerning some of my neighbors not being evicted; via their apartments because of their behavior & the answer, seems to be the same for both; that it's all about saving money! I am sure, that it's expensive to transition employees; as it's to transition tenants!

    Someone I work with uses paper towel and then leaves it on the counter. The garbage can is literally below the counter. This is the height of laziness.

    write his/her name on the towel in magic marker

    Talks way too much and confuses this for sharpness and wisdom.

    We don't work together

    But if we did I'd hope you were as quiet as you claim to be.

    he clips his nails at his desk
    he slams his fingers down on the keyboard
    he's a trump supporter

    sounds like you're annoyed with 50 million others, too.

    She mentions her peanut allergy and asthma in every single conversation. All 150 of us have to worry about taking care of her apparently.

    She says peace out instead of goodbye. Every single *kitten* time. Phone, in person, and it doesn't matter who the person is.

    She uses the word bae, calls her boyfriend "my man" constantly when he really is more of a *kitten* than a man and pronounces neighbor as neighvor.

    Cowork used to work for coke a cola and I am pretty sure he misses it. I hear about 6 stories a night about how much he misses working for the company and same time every night blows his nose at his desk. He then tells me how many work days are left in the week. I mean I think I should know I am working as well..

    He eats Tostitos sitting next to me when I'm on conference calls and the only thing I can hear is him crunching his corn chips for 15 minutes. Then he closes the bag and its more crinkle crinkle.
