Office ppl, what annoys you at work?
Replies
-
People that stay on personal calls virtually the WHOLE day0
-
And when people don't answer the phone when it is their turn!0

1. The constant stream of "Blesh You's" every time someone sneezes. No, not 'god bless you', not even 'bless you', slurred as 'blesh you'. Not to mention the unique sounds of the sneezes...
^ I'm just curious - are you saying you would you prefer no response, or that you would prefer that it's said clearly and articulately?
i'm not criticizing you - i am genuinely curious about this... :flowerforyou:0 -
I work in an office with all men.
-The fact that I had to print out a sign that says "Please remember to put the toilet seat down" and tape it to the wall in direct eye line when they stand up and they STILL don't always put it down.
-Grown men can't seem to be able to e-mail a simple time card correctly but the younger guys that work here can.
-The guy that used to work for our company and whom I've known my whole life that came back to work for us and thinks that he owns the place and I must report/cater to him. Um, NO I don't work for you, it is not my job to do YOUR work.
-When the guys in the office and in the field order materials and don't go through me like they're supposed to do and then I have to scramble around trying to figure out which invoice goes to which purchase order or if there is even an existent purchase order for that order!0 -
My Co-workers.
People that do not state their name when they answer the phone...just a Hello.
We do not have a Jameson Cooler...just a water one.0 -
Trying to take information over the phone when there's so much gabbling going on in the background. All my co-workers seem to be very noisy!
Mine is similar to this- people who keep talking to you even when they see you're on the phone!!0 -
We do not have a Jameson Cooler...just a water one.
:drinker: :laugh: aw...yeahhhh....
you've patented this, right?0 -

My co-workers are the most annoying part of my job too! And the fact that we don't have liquor to deal with said co-workers.0 -
GOSSIP!!!!!!!! Enough said!0

Indeed, I can't stand them. They are the reason I need alcohol to get through the day.0 -
Aside from not having windows in my office :sad:
... When someone who also sits at a computer all day frequently shouts aloud, HOW DO YOU SPELL_________?! I get so irritated! Google that *kitten*!!!!0 -
Negative, know-it-all people. Uggh.0

Forgot to quote (trying to work but this forum is so addicting):
"^ I'm just curious - are you saying you would you prefer no response, or that you would prefer that it's said clearly and articulately?
i'm not criticizing you - i am genuinely curious about this..."
Well....now we're getting personal. Because as an atheist, yeah I'd say just don't say anything. But I really don't get bothered by the saying, so if you're going to say it, at least say an actual word!
Since it's summer, there's at least two sneezes every hour. Like Dane Cook says, you're not the lord, you can't say Bless You. Lol.0 -
OFFICE TATTLE-TALES!!!!
If YOU are the office tattle-tale: Please get a life.
I am talking tattle-taling on things that dont hurt anyone or productivity. Just high-strung, uptight people who FIRMLY blieve no one should EVER find work fun.0 -
all those other ppl breathing my precious air.
the folks who are constantly late
the extremely loud as in i can hear them across the building folks0 -
Where should I begin...
1) Gossip, I can't stand it or gossipy people that are always trying to make other people look bad, so they can look good.
2) I work in a small pool of secretaries. When the phone rings there are a few that wait to answer the phone since they know I usually answer it on the second ring, unless it rings at their desk OR, BIG OR, the manager walks by, then it's picked up on the first ring and answered in the most pleasant tone.
3) Yelling across the room when you are on the phone. It's rude.
4) Ask a question and when I answer it, they say, "Yeah I knew that, I just wanted to make sure." or when the manager walks by they turn it around like you were asking it.
5) If I'm eating something, somebody has to rush over to see what it is or make a comment about it, when I smell their popcorn (of which I can't eat and would love to) every single day and don't say a word. One day I was eating my morning snack of turkey bacon. Another secretary came over, asked what it was, asked if she could taste it and then said it reminded her of dog food, but proceeded to say it was good. Huh? Whatever!
6) People that act friendly to your face when you know they have been tearing you up behind your back. Phoniness a real pet peave of mine.
I guess that's it for now.
7) Oh, one more...people that have to wear the loudest shoes because they enjoy hearing themselves walk.0 -
1) FLIP FLOPS
2) people who don't pick up their feet when they walk, they kinda drag 'em
3) perfumes
4) people who don't make the coffee when they take the last drop and the pot is empty
5) people who bring really strange leftovers to nuke for lunch -- like weird FISH.....the smells are nauseating.
6) LOUD people - screamers
7) people who run, there will be a bad collision again soon
8) too much cleavage, I know guys may disagree, but as a gal, I find it unprofessional and tacky
9) when the computer help desk is located in India and it is impossible to communicate, no offense to professionals from India, we employ MANY and they are wonderful, but this is a function that just doesn't work under this arrangement
10) hard azz chairs in conference rooms
11) people who multi-task on conference calls, and you can hear the typing, or eating, or paper shuffling, all disruptive.
12) this one woman who has been coughing for 6 months from allergies and won't do anything about it
13) using speaker phones in cubes, when everyone has headsets
14) whoever said gum crackers --- OMG
15) people who walk down a corridor, 5 abreast, walking slow and chit chatting, and you can't get by, and they are oblivious
16) slobs in the kitchen and bathroom, they wouldn't do that at home with their kids
17) ice chewers
18) if the content of an email doesn't fit on one screen, I don't want to read it. BOTTOM LINE IT folks. 10 paragraphs, forget it.
19) whispering is almost as annoying as chit chat
20) THERE IS NO "I" IN TEAM0 -
Just having to be here..........
LMAO!0 -
1. Coworkers that are always whispering together and then stop when you pass by.
2. I am in charge of maintenance of the building - not the gross contents of the refrigerator or that the toilet paper has gone empty.
3. My boss that cannot imagine that I have anything else to do work related that is more important than getting HIS tv/cable repaired at his home.
4. It annoys me when a co-worker is not a team player but expects everyone else to be, when it benefits their program.
I could go on and on and on. I need to go to the gym to work off my agitation.0 -
People who come in to ask me a question, then as I'm answering, they butt in and cut me off. In the beginning, out of politeness, I used to stop, let them say what they felt was so important that they cut me off, then try to answer their question again. I have 2 ppl who are SO bad at this. Finally, I decided that while I'm answering, when they cut in, I'm just going to continue on and finish what I'm saying. That kind of backfired on me, tho, because I'd end up having to repeat myself.
Another thing...when somebody comes into my office and hovers behind me, looking at my computer screen. I've actually had to say, while replying to an inner-company email..."Uhm...do you mind? This is private." Or when somebody comes in while I'm typing an email, I look up to see what they want, and they say "Oh, go ahead and finish, I'll wait." No! Tell me what you want, I'll help you if I can, and then get the he!! outta here!.
Then, there's this one guy who wanders into my office, and sees a particular food on my desk or on top of my fridge. For example, one day he saw a box of cereal. He says "Oh, what? Are you on a cereal kick now?" Another day, he saw a yogurt on my desk. "Oh, what? Are you on a yogurt kick now?" I just want to scream "NO! I'm on a gonna-kick-your-*kitten* kick right now!!!"0 -
1. Blow your nose at your own desk - not mine. That's nasty.
2. My office is freezing cold almost all the time. Old man who finally retired a couple weeks ago always had 3 fans on high constantly and I swear his fans had a direct air flow to my desk.
3. People always "forget" to invite me to meetings I'm supposed to attend.
4. People who think I'm their personal secretary - ummm no. Let's go check our job titles and pay stubs. I have the same title and pay as you - I only play secretary for my boss.
5. People who walk around to the other side of my desk to look at my computer screen for no reason other than to be nosy. Or the coworkers who go through the papers on my desk even though it would never have anything to do with them!
6. The supervisor who acts like I'm not a part of her team even though I do just as much work as anyone else on the team. And I don't know who she thinks I am, but if you purposely don't give me stuff to try and get me in trouble with my boss I am not going to act like I am the one at fault - I will call you out on it EVERY time. And then she comes over and tries to play nice so she can get brownie points with my boss - oh hell no - I don't play that game.
7. We are grown adults - WTF is going on in the bathroom - sometimes it is sooooo nasty!! How do women pee all over the seat?!
8. Burping LOUDLY is gross. Enough said.
9. People who stand around and chit chat loudly for hours. And then because they're having 3 conversations at once they all have to talk louder and louder to hear each other.
10. If I'm trying to help you, don't be a b*tch. In fact don't be a b*tch to me ever.0 -
The dumb girl (my co-worker) who asks a patient "Whatchu bein seen fo?" I didnt't forget the r @ the end of for either.. And today as I came prepared 2 be patient & work with her she's not here & the dumb B word stole my favorite pen!!!! Oooo how she irritates me!!!0
-
- crazy cold AC we have no control over.
- the aisle/team next door. Seems like they never work, and just talk all day, about random stuff that has nothing to do with work, and do it very loudly to let everyone know they're not working.
- the chair I'm stuck with and can never get comfy in. and the other option of chair isn't meant for small people and hurts my back.
- our printer. every time we turn around it's broken down
-- and the "quick, let's have 20 people all print stuff at the same time at end of the day, so that it's mass craziness to try and find what you actually printed"
- someone that has had the same job for several months, has been trained by several different people, and still cannot comprehend what the heck she's doing. (and I get to audit her every day due to that) :grumble:0 -
Customers. My job would be so much better without them! :laugh:0
-
Ppl farting in my office
& my boss calling in "sick" "tired" "grumpy" once a week when it's just us 2 running the department office. 0 -
Oh i don't mind anything - just mind the people i work with!
And the bloody air con because fat people always sweat so they need to cool off and then anybody else is just suffering!0
