    Leaving your dirty dishes in the sink and "forgetting" to wash them so they sit there overnight...

    Leaving your old food in the refrigerator until it begins growing things

    People who cook fish in the microwave!

    I can do this all day.

    My boyfriend just got back from a fishing trip, and we had some last night. It was delicious, and he so kindly asked me if I wanted to bring it to school (work) tomorrow lunch. I politely declined for this ^ very reason! But decided we had enough for fish tacos tonight! :)

    Keeping your speaker on so that the whole floor hears the "ding" every time someone messages you on Communicator.

    -Talking loudly when I'm on a business call...My customer doesn't give a f*** about your conversation and they definitely don't want to hear it

    -being expected to clean the office regularly because I'm the only woman here

    -making coffee and putting so much coffee grounds in the basket that it overflows and ends up in the pot

    -taking 45 minute bathroom breaks...yes, bathroom breaks

    -people constantly "borrowing" my scissors, ruler, stapler, etc

    I could go on and on :)

    Year end self-assessments. Come on! Am I really going to give myself anything other than a 4 or 5 out of 5? What a waste of time.

    People who cook fish in the microwave!

    Just curious, why?

    Because it stinks! I don't want to sit in my office and smell cooked fish smell all afternoon.


    Same goes to the asshats who mash 5-minutes on a bag of popcorn and walk away while it pops. Those last two minutes, you're not popping any more, you're burning.

    People who lick their fingers before going through the papers on the printer, I hate picking up my papers and they're wet! If you can't pick them up without doing that, get a rubber finger thing.

    Commenting on my food

    Does my head in! And it's all the time. If i eat little and often it's 'oooo you've got the munchies today' If I have a massive salad it's 'oooo isn't that a big portion' and if i have something naughty 'ooooooo you won't loose weight eating that'

    Well it's got nothing to do with you what I eat and when. Don't thnk you're fooling anyone with your 2 ricecakes and and apple all . we know you go home and stuff your face or else you'd be loosing too! REALLY ANNOYS ME!

    Haven't seen one yet for the thing I think is grossest...people who leave a mess behind themselves on the toilet in the bathroom. It's like, if you have the indecency to do this nasty act in the office bathroom, what does your home bathroom look like? Ewwwww...just plain foul...probably the same people who don't wash their hands or refill the toilet paper roll.

    Oh, my last office, it was corporate culture to work through being sick, people took pride in coming to work even though they felt awful... so I got looks when I got back from taking a sick day, while others would come in and spread the germs. Ug.

    Not reporting broken machinery. At least have the decency to report something is wrong instead of leaving it for the next person to take care of. Even better, go the extra step when you do report it and leave a note on the machine letting people know it's being taken care of. We're all busy snowflake!

    Chewing gum or eating while dictating. Didn't your mother teach you NOT to talk with food in your mouth?

    Asking me a question and when I don't give you the answer you want turning to the person next to me and asking them the same question..... if looks could kill...

    I have 2.

    1. Whistling
    That is a great song you got stuck in your head. Now it's stuck in mine because I couldn't find a fork to jam into my ear when I saw you coming.

    2. Chilling out in my office.
    If you want to talk to me, awesome. If you are just looking for a quiet place to sit and do nothing, we have something like 1000 other chairs in the building. The ones at my desk are by far the least comfortable (for me to watch you sit in for 20 minutes while I am working).

    People who come into your office to ask a question and get sidetracked while looking at what you're working on and start giving their opinion on how they would do it.
    I couldn't care less how YOU would do it. That doesn't help me unless you're going to take it and finish it yourself. If not... don't let my imaginary door hit you in the *kitten* on the way out!

    Using your speaker phone for a conference call and we have to sit and listen to every stinking word even though it has nothing to do with us.

    This! We have a guy who talks to his WIFE on the speaker phone. OMG -- way too much information sometimes.

    Meetings! For every stupid little issue that comes up.

    Pre-Meetings about Future meetings and then Post meetings to "wrap up"

    The constant annoying cackling of my co-worker... sometimes I wear earplugs. She's so full of it!

    And I also don't want to hear about every detail of your life outside work... don't you have friends for that?!

    People who leave all their crumbs on the lunch room table... I don't need to clean your crap up.

    People who don't courtesy flush because I don't want to smell your crap either.
