    Hmm. I'm probably more likely to irritate my co-workers than to be irritated by them. I'm very good at ignoring everyone and everything around me.

    YIkes, i have sit next to people who eat crunchy food all day, and chew with their mouths open. I hear every smack, crunch and gulp. I have headphones to keep me from killing them. When one stops the other starts. If i was paranoid, i would think they are tag teamming me. I know how you feel - it never stops. The best part is they don't stop chewing when the talk, and they don't get up to talk to each other they yell. Thank god for headphones and loud music.

    This is why I love being a receptionist...well, why I'm happy to be a receptionist if I'm going to work in an office. I'm all alone out front love it!

    I do, however, hate when people come around to MY side of my desk to send faxes and make copies, ask me to do it or ask to come around...this is MY desk, I don't come around and hang out at your desk!

    I feel your pain!! One of my coworkers whose desk is right next to mine, finds it necessary to yell into the phone, or have the phone on speaker all the time, while chewing her food and smacking her lips. Then scraping the bowl to make sure to get every last drop. She is constantly slamming everything down on her desk, for example her stapler, pens, water bottle. She has a fan that blows directly on her, which I wouldn't mind if it wasn't so loud! She pounds on her keyboard when she's typing and yells about everyone she talks about being stupid.

    Sorry for rambling, but it made me feel better. I guess I need to trade pet peeves too! lol

    Hope your day gets better!

    I SHARE AN OFFICE WITH MY SECRETARY. I LOVE HER. BUT she is like so everything it's hard to explain. She talks constantly (I love quiet). That is my biggest pet peeve. I will not complain too much. :)

    Every department in my workplace has a shared printer and many of my coworkers who LICK THEIR FINGERS to get them moist enough to separate the papers. I have literally redone entire print jobs because I watched the person who picked up their copies before mine repeatedly lick their fingers and touch everything as they're flipping through. This disgusting habit is my #1 office peeve. They make lotion and finger moisteners for a reason. Ugh, ugh, ugh!

    The woman next to me cannot stop clicking her keyboard. It's like nails on a chalkboard.

    I sit in front of a window and I love fresh air. The other people in my office constantly moan about how cold it is. In freaking July. It drives me nuts! Oh, and my boss accidentally kicks the leg of my chair EVERY time he walks past it. I'm going to electrify that thing soon.

    My *kitten*-licking supervisor. we are not allowed to eat in the kitchens at work. I got caught by the director of the company "poping a corner of sliced bread with a small cube of cheese into my mouth" she threw the book at me; tore up a tamtrom like-a-big-girls-blouses, and told me the director saw me "stuffing my face" stuffing???

    last friday I saw my supervisior eatting in the kitchen.

    today, I saw her eatting in the kitchen and the frig.

    she's a fine example isn't she. NOT!

    *****!:explode:

    People who come into my office (I do accounting in a law firm, so my office is way in the back) and ask a question and then stand there and linger after I answer it. Just standing there, not saying anything.... for a few minutes. Bugs the crap out of me!

    Also every time I come out of my office (to use the bathroom, smoke break, re-fill my water bottle, etc) someone ALWAYS has to chat with me, small talk. I like my co-workers, they are cool and like friends to me (some of them are friends) but come on, do we have to do the small talk every time I come out of my office? I just want to re-fill my water and go back to my desk without being stopped and chatted with!

    My co-worker is constantly eating peanuts so all I hear all-day-long is CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH. This also means there is a lingering smell of peanuts all-day-long around my desk which sometimes makes me want to lose my cookies. He is a smoker so sometimes, it's a smell of peanuts = cigarette combined. Yep, I've been close to blowing chunks once or twice. Don't get me wrong, he is a very nice gentleman, it's just the activities he does that is smelly :S

    I work from home and most days can annoy myself pretty good...lol.

    BUT - I hate when people call about a project and say "oh it must me SO nice to work from home!" Yeah, it's really friggin GREAT - especially when you're calling me at 7:30 from your cell phone while you're at happy hour and had a brain fart about something you'd love to see for a meeting at 7 am the next day. SURE... I LOVE being available to you 24/7.

    My fav is when my boss kept calling and asking if I was still in my jammies and fuzzy bunny slippers. I finally replied "Who says I wear pajamas?" He never asked that question again! :o)

    My cowrokers don't annoy me so bad. There is one guy that talks REALLY loud and makes me jump sometimes. Most of the time though they just have quirks that make me laugh. One guy wears white athletic socks with dress shoes everyday.
