Pet Peeves at work??

Working. Huge pet peeve of mine.

I have a co-worker who coughs all day long. So you think she has a cold right? No, she's been doing this for over seven years. Says it's her allergies. Sometimes she coughs so hard, she goes into the break room to vomit. (Yes, she vomits in the break room, where people are supposed to eat).
She also talks at approximately 300 decibels and narrates her entire day. When she is going to do something, she goes around to four different people and says "I'm going to mail that letter now". Then after she mails it, she goes around to the same four people and says "I mailed the letter."
Additionally, she's a hoarder and hoards in our office. She took over an empty cubicle to put her hoard in. Her boss has gone through it with her but she refuses to throw anything out.
When we have a potluck, she doesn't bring anything in and then fills her plate many, many times so that it is overflowing with food.

I literally just LOL right at my desk. And wow, my job aint that bad after reading this!

My boss, my bosses boss, and even his boss. Every single person under me, the building, the entire place in general.

Smelly poops in the women's bathroom.

I agree, especially when I'm hiding in the next stall over trying to get my peeping tomness on.

THIS!!!! HAHAHA!!
Also the "it's not my job" syndrome, but then they expect YOU to help them, all the time!!
Lastly, The I'm the busiest one in the office" coworker. CANNOT STAND THOSE!! We are ALL busy!!

people dropping their catheters on the stairs......GROSSSSSSS

^Pretty much this.

And to the women that Hover ( most women) WIPE THE PEE OFF THE SEAT WHEN YOUR DONE!!! Sometimes I would rather use the men's bathroom at work!

Inconsistently filling out the paperwork.

There's an older lady who works me, who is leaving (I will miss she is great but this irritates the **** out of me), we're in lead generation and there's a book in which we keep the leads. It has a very clear colour coding and general lay out of information so you can easily find customers details or fill it in quickly etc., but for the nine months she's been here it's never been right. My manager has said everyone has their own take on it but her's is just another way altogether- using the incorrect colour or putting the information in the wrong way (or not at all some times!). I come in the shift after and just look over it and sigh.

Also I hate a general apathy towards work! The host store in which I work being get annoyed that they're busy, get annoyed if its slow and are still ticked off it's nice and steady. I know work isn't always enjoyable but if you have such a poor attitude towards it it will not get any better O_O

OK so where would you rather have them go poop when there at work, in your cube???????????? It's what the bathroom is for.

There are etiquette rules...unspoken etiquette rules. You should spray and leave the fan on. Pooh in the bathroom all you want, but darn'it, spray some air neutralizer!

People who complain about people who come to work sick. You willing to pay my bills? If yes then I'll be happy to stay home, otherwise I don't get sick pay and it's either protect you from the inconvenience of being exposed to germs or lose so much money that I can't pay my bills. I choose to expose you.

Call me selfish but you're equally selfish for not financing my sick day. :P

In which case, I'm still peeved at a system that doesn't give sick days. We all get sick, and if you are allowed to stay home when you are gross then everybody wins!

Wow, I just posted these first 2 on my wall this afternoon:
1) People who don't take advantage of the mute button during teleconferences. My company has liberal teleworking some most peole work from home at least 1 day/week. During t-conf today, I could hear dogs barking, babies crying, and kids fighting... and none of these were from people who were actively talking. If you work from home (I do thrice-weekly) invest in a headset or phone that has a mute button and USE IT! If you don't, press '*6' and the t-conf service will do it for you.
2) People who schedule meetings at the last minute. On previous job, there was one guy (not a manager) who'd regularly send out invites for meeting with less than 5 min warning. After a while, we'd stop calling in or showing up and wouldn't acknowledge the invite until the next day. I think he got the hint. I had this happen today, but in hindsight it was actually warranted. It regarded an issue with the potential for tripling a project's cost by SEVEN FIGURES! Yeah, we needed to have that talk so I'll give that one a pass.
3) Loud cubical talkers, cubical speakerphone users, and people with offices that have their conversations in the doorway! You're an AVP, VP, or VP who has a much-coveted window office... invite your guest in to sit down and close the friggin' door!
4) Hallway conversations that cross the walkpath. Stand on the same side of the hall so I don't have to walk between you. If I do, I'm walking right through and NOT saying 'excuse me' either!

Courtesy flush. Do it.

Also I'll add anyone that uses a speakerphone to talk to one person when you're the only other person in your office. And you yell at the phone.

And I'll add the people that 1) dont read instructions and 2) think they're above following said instructions.

^^^ So super true!!! Your not going to die from sitting on a public toilet nor are you going to get a disease. Man this one gets me every time. And... it's GROSS... You know it's down your leg too! Yukky!

I have a friend that is totally going to read this that once told me she builds a nest. Now every time I use a public bathroom this is what I do, instead of the hover. Public toilets are gross; watch the Mythbusters episode about using them, you will never sit on a public toilet again.

that person in the next cube that brings all the "home drama" to work with them and feels the need to..... whats the word.... whine comes to mind..... but I think ill use the word "vent" instead...

The "I don't have time for this" attitude....Your time is no more valuable than mine

This!!!
