Pet Peeves at work??

1. Coming to work sick - GROSS! Believe me, nobody wants to hear your sniffling, hacking, coughing, barfing self. I work in HR, I promise, we want you to be at home, not at work.
I refuse to waste my sick days being home sick. As I told HR at work: "Why would I stay home and make my family miserable, when I can come in here and make you ****ers miserable?"
People who stay home from work at the slightest sniffle suck.
There is a BIG difference in a little sniffle and being sick. It's so rude when people bring their sick butts into work and make others sick.
The only thing that will keep me out of work is a decent fever (I wont stay home if it's just hitting 100) or stomach issues that may require an *immediate* trip to the bathroom (either end). Everything else is "not really sick"
You are probably the same guy that doesn't wash his hands and handles things all over everyone else's desks too. If there is a chance you are contagious... stay home! You don't have any idea what other people's situation is. Perhaps they cannot afford to catch your illness because they have small children at home, or no leave, or are fighting other health issues that will be made worse. Have some consideration! There is a purpose for sick leave.... when you are SICK!!! I realize that not everyone has sick leave, so if you are forced to come to work, at least bring lysol or clorox wipes and tissues and stick to your own area. Do your very best to avoid as much contact as possible with others and PLEASE wash your hands every chance you get. Obviously, this is a big pet peeve for me.0 -
The "I don't have time for this" attitude....Your time is no more valuable than mine
This!!!
the best part is that person is usually the least busy person ever.0 -
While I agree this stinks (literally!) What are they supposed to do, hold it in?Smelly poops in the women's bathroom.
Oh and loud talkers! Ugh! Inside voices, people!0 -
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.
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!
Courtesy flush people! It's not hard and it helps....0 -
My boss, my bosses boss, and even his boss. Every single person under me, the building, the entire place in general.
I love this with all my heart. I would also like to add "trying to get away with the bare minimum" to the list. I have people who will spend hours crafting a five page memo trying to justify their laziness instead of just doing it.0 -

Yup.
Also, in my workplace, you call in sick you're probably going to piss everyone off because somebody is going to get called in to cover your shift.
People who complain so much about others being sick just remind me of germaphobes. Unless you have a compromised immune system being around a sick person isn't going to kill you. In fact, being exposed to germs is part of being human and living in communal areas.
Again, I'll stay home when I get sick pay... but I don't. I'm very happy that some people can afford to stay home but we all don't have that luxury and yes it irritates me that everyone gets so angry with me for going to work when I can't afford to not go. A little compassion? I mean for frick's sake, nobody CHOOSES to be sick and not everyone can afford to stay home.
I'm freaking glad I don't work with any of you. I gotta say. I never complain when someone comes to work sick and I do everything I can to make things easier for them. If they go home I rejoice for them and if they can't I help them. Guess I'm just a rarity.0 -
My cubicle neighbor, I SWEAR TO GOD, will NOT eat anything unless it comes in the LOUDEST wrapper on this damn planet. To make it worse, he has to dive his hand into said annoying wrapper for 5 minutes at a time to fish out the perfect piece of junk to stuff into his face.... This continues for about 35 minutes every time a bag of anything is opened. It happens about 5 times a day. And when he chews it's like he has a damn microphone up to his mouth. It's the WORST when he eats popcorn... Dear Baby Jesus- that one lasts for about an hour. That happens at least once a day.
And sometimes he'll act like he's healthy by eating baby carrots drenched in ranch. It sounds like he's eating f*c&ing cinder blocks. UGHHHHHHHHHHH he's the worst cubicle neighbor I've ever encountered. If he never came back into this office I'm pretty sure I'd throw the whole company a freaking party.0 -

It's not about being a germaphobe. It's about that you have no clue what other problems people face if you get them sick. Just be respectful and if you have to come to work sick, warn people, and be prepared with things to kill germs and do your best to prevent others from being infected. I have compassion for those that do not have the blessing that is sick leave, but where I work, people get 4 hours of sick leave every 2 weeks which adds up. There should be no reason they cannot stay home until they are not contagious.0 -
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!
^^^ 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!
[/quote]
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.
[/quote]
That nest is my sanity! And, it keeps my gag reflex from going into action.0 -
Women who clog the toilets up and leave it. Nothing I despise more than walking into the stall to see a ton of poop covered toilet paper and water everywhere. Ugh.. :sick: :sick:
Stinky people. If you don't want to shower, please at least put on some deodorant.
People who send out meeting invites last minute and know that there are already other meetings in place and then get pissed off when no one shows up.
This one guy who uses my trash can. I normally have the door to my office closed. He opens my door and throws his trash in my trash can. WTF? A few more steps and he can use the trashcan in the break room. :grumble:
The "I'm more important than you" "My time is more valuable" people. We are a team. Everyone needs to pitch in to get things done.
Those who choose to use perfume or cologne rather than bathe. Oh yuck :sick:0 -
Working my *kitten* off and it is never enough for those who spend so much time watching what I do
Being treated as the dump it joke of the office person
Not being respected for what I contribute to the team
ALWAYS! being the odd man/woman out when things are going on or are being planned for the office (last one to know)
Being a walking target at my place of employment0 -

Disagree with this totally. You're only going to make everyone else sick.

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
Well you have a crappy employer that doesn't provide sick days. If you're sick and contagious and actually have sick days available - stay home. That's my thoughts.0 -

Girl - you need to find a new place to work. That sounds like a hostile work environment.0 -
I work in a job that is 24/7 and that means 3 shifts have to use the same computer. I don't like it when people hide thier nail clippings, food crumbs, peeling skin, small papers, and whatever other gross stuff, under the keyboard. It is very disturbing when you move the keyboard and realize what is under it. :explode:0

2. Clipping your nails at your desk - NO NO NO NO. There is a time and place to clip your nails. It's never at work. Did you just snag a nail at work? Ok clip that little piece and do it quickly and quietly. Preferably in the rest room. Do not sit at your desk and complete your weekly nail trimming. GROSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
This one is an epidemic at my place of work. I don't get it! Why would anyone think this is OK?0 -
The "It's too hot in here, I'm turning on the AC" people.
Thermostat reads 72 degrees though... that's not very hot at all. Maybe shed some of that excess blubber and tolerate normal temperature like a normal person?0 -
The fact that my senior VP is making me interview people for the directorship which I applied for. Extremely pissed right now. It's a rest day too so now way to work out this frustration. FML0

She should at least do it with a cat on her head!We have a girl that brushes her teeth while walking around the office.
GAG.
So gross.0 -
I work with people from different cultures and some of them think it is okay to come into your cube and burp in your face while talking to you. Gross.....0

Hahah! I always say, "Excuse me."0 -
My work only gives us 3 sick days a year. So we all come in sick. It's horrible, but at an office with so little sick time, I don't blame any of them for it. I do it, too.
1. Don't give me a giant pile of work to do when I leave in half an hour. I KNOW you had all day to give this to me.
2. When there's fruit flies, maybe it's time to rethink that old banana on your desk.
3. Could we PLEASE stop peeing on the toilet seat? I've also found some on the floor.
4. Don't come talk work stuff to me on my lunch, when I'm eating alone at my desk. I left you alone for yours.0 -
1) People who send you an e-mail asking you to contact them and then leave their desk immediately after hitting "send".
2) People who immediately kick paperwork back with the first error they find. Please- go through the whole thing, find all the parts you want fixed, and THEN send it back so I can fix it en-masse.
3) People who kick paperwork back for an error that it's just as easy for them to fix. You don't need to send it back to the author to put a dash in the boss' phone number on a soft-copy draft.0 -
3. Could we PLEASE stop peeing on the toilet seat? I've also found some on the floor.
Sorry, I was just trying to mark my territory
But for real... home life drama. I'm not your psychiatrist. I'm your boss. Leave your problems at the door.0 -
People...people are my pet peeve... :laugh:
Yes!0 -
3. Could we PLEASE stop peeing on the toilet seat? I've also found some on the floor.
In a similar toilet-based scenario: I know not all bowel movements move as smoothly as we'd like. But please... if your waste has somehow arrived on a portion of the bowl that is not cleaned by water during the flushing action, CLEAN IT UP, YOURSELF. Nobody wants to have to smell or deal with that mess.0
