    1. People who bring donuts for the whole office, and then are pushy standing in front of your desk until you take one.
    2. People who bake cookies for the whole office, and then are offended when you won't take one.
    3. People who bring cake for everyone's birthday, and then insist that you must take a piece to honor the birthday boy or girl.
    4. People who bring muffins to the office because they are "healthy" and then are hurt when you won't eat one.

    I want to work there.

    1. Coming to work sick - GROSS! Believe me, nobody wants to hear your sniffling, hacking, coughing, barfing self. I work in HR, I promise, we want you to be at home, not at work.

    I refuse to waste my sick days being home sick. As I told HR at work: "Why would I stay home and make my family miserable, when I can come in here and make you ****ers miserable?"

    People who stay home from work at the slightest sniffle suck.

    People...people are my pet peeve... :laugh:


    ^^ Yes. Exactly. Without them, and the fact that I have to be here all day, work would be great.

    There is a BIG difference in a little sniffle and being sick. It's so rude when people bring their sick butts into work and make others sick.

    The only thing that will keep me out of work is a decent fever (I wont stay home if it's just hitting 100) or stomach issues that may require an *immediate* trip to the bathroom (either end). Everything else is "not really sick"

    People who talk about coworkers behind their backs and then are super friendly when that person walks in the room. So fake

    Smelly poops in the women's bathroom.

    we understand sometimes this can't be helped but air fresheners or something is required after bathroom use

    People who expect you to cover/do their job when they are gone (vacation, sick, whatever) but will just pile your stuff up on your desk if you are out. It is a two way street people.

    A coworker who see no problem with putting his conference call on SPEAKER PHONE for the entire wing to have to listen to all sides of the conversation not just his. We're all in cubicles!!! What's worse is that he also will get up and leave his cubicle and go to the bathroom or where ever leaving the conference call on speaker phone in full blast!!
