Ignorant office Manuevers!

Not getting your own stapler and "borrowing" mine.
mmmmhm.
Also my scissors, pens, tape dispenser, phone (than not answering when we get a call), sometimes my ENTIRE work space!!!
I've even come back to a sticky desk with food on the floor....oh if only I knew who did it....
Also there it's an office full of women all they do is complain, argue, cause drama, and spread rumors.0 -
Meetings! For every stupid little issue that comes up.
Pre-Meetings about Future meetings and then Post meetings to "wrap up"
We're going having a meeting every day until we can figure out why we can't get anything done around here!0 -
1. Not starting new coffee, when you notice BOTH pots are empty.
Add your own.
and...not replacing the toilet paper, taking all your calls on the speaker phone (even when you had a headset), not rinsing out the sink after you have rinsed out your dishes, having a rather loud (non work related) conversation outside of my office door when it can be plainly seen I am on the phone! Not replacing the water jug....geesh the list goes on!0 -
Using my pen, biting on the end and then attempting to place back in my holder. UGH!!!0
-
Leaving your dirty dishes in the sink and "forgetting" to wash them so they sit there overnight...
Take the time to run water into dirty dishes, but not wash them. Geez, your already standing there. it drives me nuts. Who wants to wash their dishes around your dirty ones.0 -
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.
OMG, that is my absolute BIGGEST pet peeve. Don't put your spit on MY paperwork, dammit!
ugggghhhhhhhhhhh...........
And people who sing out loud in the office.......now, I AM a singer. I have a decent voice. I have to stop myself sometimes, because I know it bugs others...........we had a gal who thought she was a SINGER, who would sing loudly.........it was really really annoying, cuz she wasn't that good

Walking around the office talking on your cellphone.0

Using the microwave then forgetting the food in the microwave and letting it sit... *blech*
on a side note, I now have scenes of Office Space running through my head. "Corporate Accounts Payable, Nina speaking... Just a moment"0 -
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.
Agreed0 -
Leave faxes piling up in the tray while I'm on vacation or not bother to fill the paper to get the faxes left piling up while I'm on vacation.0
-
Leaving your dirty pots in the sink for someone else to wash and dry, is it really so hard?0

People don't touch my stuff... I intimidate them.0 -
I love this topic...I agree with EVERYTHING on here.
I will add another "gross" one. I am the office manager for the maint department so it's 8 guys and myself. I will get a maint guy come into my office which is only 2 desks mine and my boss and they ask me for a vacation day or what have you and they fart so then it stinks up my whole office and if someone else walks in I am sure they think that I did it...ugh! really!0 -
Putting off your big project until the last possible minute, making half of the office stay until 10pm helping you finish. Especially when said person is the most annoying human on the planet and helping him makes you die a little on the inside.0

That's just gross.0 -
I work in the medical field, and have worked with the same jerk on and off for 11 years and he has not changed once, takes my pens, broke my hanging curtain 3 different times (in the last 3 years) and made no effort to get it fixed, broke a probe on my ultrasound machine, leaves gel all over the machine, bed, floor ect to dry and look nasty, plus uses all my linen and reports and will not replace them. This is the person who covers for me when I go on vacation or am sick so needless to say I never look foward to coming back, I am taking off after Christmas and I know it is going to look like a tornado went through here and I will have to fix the curtain again my self by climbing on a file cabinet again because maintence will take 2 months to come by to look at it and then have to go get a ladder to fix it.... sorry just venting... better now0

- people that spill their coffee on the stairs on the way up from the canteen and dont bother to use the towel dispensers helpfully located at the top AND the bottom for that purpose!
- people that stick the photocopier on to do something that will take half an hour to churn through, and then dont come back to restock the paper in the middle
- people that use smelly handcreams in our tiny office0 -

Can NOT stand this!! I hate spit so I don't want any of yours on my stuff!
My boss had her tooth out once and when she licked her fingers to turn the page it put blood prints on everything - I nearly threw up!0 -
leaving dirty dishes piled up in the sink....or when two people are talking in an isle way and clearly see you coming but don't move out of your way.0
-
speaking so loud in the cube farm that everyone can hear about your kids and your weekend.....frankly my dear, I dont give a damn!0
-
Ignoring you when they walk by and you say Good Morning! Need I say more?
^^This! I have one that does this to me EVERY SINGLE MORNING.0 -
People that don't set their cells phones to vibrate ....and then they have the "Hamster Dance song" as their default ring tone, .. and then they leave the phone on their desk and are gone for hours!!!0
-
Glad to see I'm not the only person who spends 8 hours a day(or more) in total hell!!!! The *kitten* wipes I work with do ALL of these things and more.... I really think they were raised by freakin cavemen. They really are giving me OCD symptoms.....
I also hate when they are too damn lazy to line up papers before stapling them.... or tearing stappled papers apart.....after they've stolen my stapler remover..... This makes me grit my teeth....0 -
Oh and don't try to friend me on Facebook when somedays I can't stand to see your face at work... LOL :devil:0
-
People that use WAY TOO MUCH air freshener spray so that your eyes burn and it makes you choke when you enter the restroom.0
-
Inserting yourself into a conversation that you weren't invited to join. Over, and over and over again. Continuing to do this even after you're spoken to about the issue.
Oh and worse, commenting on a phone conversation after I've hung up the phone. I don't care if it's work related or personal - unless I request your feedback on my phone call, keep your yap out of my business!0 -

^^^THIS^^^0 -
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.
YES! YES! YES! And they keep doing it even after you ask them to stop.0 -
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.
LOL touche! I love these though and I often irritate the piss out of HR by attaching addendums and using my thesaurus to complete mine... I'm very thorough. They want to grill me in an 'assessment meeting'. HA! Grill this.... "To answer your question, Mrs. HR lady, please turn to page 5, addendum 7, section IV-B, and I quote". I leave no stone unturned and they leave me the hell alone and just give me my raise.0 -

^^this.. everyone at the office thinks that I forgot my FB password or don't really know how to get around the site. I'm a child of the 90's .. if I'm not social networking with you .. there's a reason. lol0
