    1. Coming to work sick
    2. "That is not my job" 'tude
    3. Catty, Backstabbing, drama-filled heifers
    4. No raise when one is WELL deserved and needed...I mean I am THE best multi-tasker! I get the job done faster and quicker than anyone else all while being on MFP and FB.
    5. Not replacing the TP in the bathroom
    6. Eating MY LABELED snacks in the fridge

    I have a co-worker who coughs all day long. So you think she has a cold right? No, she's been doing this for over seven years. Says it's her allergies. Sometimes she coughs so hard, she goes into the break room to vomit. (Yes, she vomits in the break room, where people are supposed to eat).
    She also talks at approximately 300 decibels and narrates her entire day. When she is going to do something, she goes around to four different people and says "I'm going to mail that letter now". Then after she mails it, she goes around to the same four people and says "I mailed the letter."
    Additionally, she's a hoarder and hoards in our office. She took over an empty cubicle to put her hoard in. Her boss has gone through it with her but she refuses to throw anything out.
    When we have a potluck, she doesn't bring anything in and then fills her plate many, many times so that it is overflowing with food.

    I literally just LOL right at my desk. And wow, my job aint that bad after reading this!

    Warming fish in the microwave that we have in the office instead of using the one in the break room! I like fish but smelling day old salmon all afternoon is nasty!!

    My boss, my bosses boss, and even his boss. Every single person under me, the building, the entire place in general.

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

    I agree, especially when I'm hiding in the next stall over trying to get my peeping tomness on.

    THIS!!!! HAHAHA!!
    Also the "it's not my job" syndrome, but then they expect YOU to help them, all the time!!
    Lastly, The I'm the busiest one in the office" coworker. CANNOT STAND THOSE!! We are ALL busy!!

    Inconsistently filling out the paperwork.

    There's an older lady who works me, who is leaving (I will miss she is great but this irritates the **** out of me), we're in lead generation and there's a book in which we keep the leads. It has a very clear colour coding and general lay out of information so you can easily find customers details or fill it in quickly etc., but for the nine months she's been here it's never been right. My manager has said everyone has their own take on it but her's is just another way altogether- using the incorrect colour or putting the information in the wrong way (or not at all some times!). I come in the shift after and just look over it and sigh.

    Also I hate a general apathy towards work! The host store in which I work being get annoyed that they're busy, get annoyed if its slow and are still ticked off it's nice and steady. I know work isn't always enjoyable but if you have such a poor attitude towards it it will not get any better O_O

    Number 1 by far: clipping nails! Makes me cringe and get the heeby jeebies. Ick!
    2. boogers on the wall of the bathroom stall - um, seriously? wtf? There is toilet paper in there - use it! ick!
    3. pee on the toilet seat - "if you sprinkle when you tinkle, please be neat and wipe the seat..."
    4. people that say "but this is how we've always done it" - hello, I'm telling you it's a problem doing it that way and thus we're changing it. Just do it!
    5. People that let their food mold and smell up the whole fridge. Take your leftovers home or throw it out!

    My work's response to smelly poops is to put overwhelmingly smelly air fresheners spray cans in each stall which everyone feels the need to use copious amounts of.
    Also, the "but we've always done it this way" people.

    There are etiquette rules...unspoken etiquette rules. You should spray and leave the fan on. Pooh in the bathroom all you want, but darn'it, spray some air neutralizer!

    People who leave their dirty dishes in the sink and never put them in the dishwasher that is clearly marked "Dirty", so I end up having to do it... I am not your maid.

    Leaving an empty box or container in the supply office... Please just throw it away.

    Not knowing how to park!!!!!!!!!!

    People who complain about people who come to work sick. You willing to pay my bills? If yes then I'll be happy to stay home, otherwise I don't get sick pay and it's either protect you from the inconvenience of being exposed to germs or lose so much money that I can't pay my bills. I choose to expose you.

    Call me selfish but you're equally selfish for not financing my sick day. :P

    In which case, I'm still peeved at a system that doesn't give sick days. We all get sick, and if you are allowed to stay home when you are gross then everybody wins!
