My pet peeve at work is -

People who want to talk about work during your breaks and lunch. Hello it's called a break for a reason!

Kolohe71

1) Meeting Seagulls: They swoop into a meeting late, crap all over everyones ideas and then leave early without adding any constructive ideas.
2) People who spend half their day on personal phone calls complaining how busy they are at work.
3) People who walk at 0.5 mph down the middle of the hallway. Just because they aren't in a hurry doesn't mean nobody else is. Move over or speed up!.

i work with ~a lot~ of people, mostly men, who have little social skills. Many of them find it completely appropriate to do things like clip their toenails in the cube next to me. ~shudder~

Trimming toe & fingernails I could almost handle.

What's worse is the coworker that asked to borrow my scissors. Then used them to trim his nose hairs! :sick: :sick: And these are not small scissors, they're the large paper kind! :noway: Needless to say I told him to keep them because I had another pair.

people who e-mail me and call me 5 minutes later to tell me they e-mailed me and go through a long spill about what the e-mail says...as if I can't read the damn e-mail on my own???

Oh man, this one really hits home!

^^^^^ THIS!!!!
Seriously! You don't have a home where you could do this? Or at least go into the bathroom? I'm not talking about clipping a hangnail or something...I'm talking ALL ten fingers and toes!

My pet peeve is when I try to find out the color of the mulch I'm ordering and the rep tells me to drive out to see it. LOL

I can relate. I work in a real estate office, we have a couple of thousand homes in our inventory, not just in our city but in nearby cities as well. Also, i am not an agent, i just answer the phones.

I get calls like..."you know, the little blue house with the white trim" or my favorite one so far..."it's the house across the street from my Grandmas house". Don't know the street or the address.......Geeze.

Parent neglect their kids teeth!!!! Then the child comes into my dental office with all their teeth bombed out (lots of time the parents come in reeking like cigarettes) money for smoke and booze but not dental work!!!! I know its expensive but its a kid, they cant help it... Then when the parent says "look how much you cost me" and then the kids starts crying because they feel bad!! then they dont tell the parents about any tooth pain because they dont want to get into trouble for costing them money... so they toughen it out till it gets infected or in so much pain that the child is crying and has to come to the dentist!!! it sucks... or when parents give a baby apple juice or any juice in a bottle!! BOTTLE ROT PEOPLE BOTTLE ROT!!!! kids teeth will be decayed as fast as they come in!!!

This one breaks my heart. The last time I took my daughter for a cleaning, there was an 18 month old in the room next door, she screamed the entire time we were there. I overheard that most of her teeth were already rotted out. Apparently the parents put her to bed everynight with a bottle of apple juice propped up in her mouth.

My pet peeves-
Monitoring everything that your co-workers do to make sure that you are getting exactly what they are getting. Who cares, worry about your own job.

I could get most of my job done from home, and it would save a lot of money.

OMG that and they call right back and say ":Are they in today?" Why even call the main line, they have the direct numbers, cell numbers and email addresses. If you send an email it goes straight to their phone. WAKE UP PEAPLE!!! I had one call yesterday and he had me on the phone for 5 minutes before I finally said, let me give you his cellphone number. He says, "Oh I have that, great idea, thanks!" and hangs up. WTF??? PPL are idiots sometimes.
