My co-worker is annoying because...

she eats fruit often. and she smacks when she eats. its revolting and has made me lose my appetite before.

I hate hearing people's eating noises...I often choose to eat alone just in case I am revolting too. I rarely eat at work anyways because I am so into oral hygiene and like having a clean mouth.
I have a coworker who eats happily and heartily with her mouth open...she also doesn't put her food in the fridge...it just sits there rotting in her bag all day, then she eats it loudly and the smell makes me gag, (makes everyone gag actually)

I have one who lies all the time. It bothers me more so when she lies to clients. She exaggerates to the point that I have to leave the room because I don't want to be a part of her deluded conversation. The funny thing is that her telling the truth would be fine....she just seems to have to make everything over the top and turn it into a lie. I don't get it.

My entire office is chill and I like everyone. I know - so crazy!

It bugs me that they smoke, though. They go outside of course but I don't like to smell it.

I work from home. I am not tortured like the rest of you that have to tolerate co-workers. Priceless.

coworker 1;
Clips nails at his desk
Very condescending tones (his natural way of speaking)
cusses and complains 24/7
jumps queue
If he gets aggravated (70% of his calls) because the person has an accent or doesn't understand his instructions, he talks VERY loudly so that no one else can hear their own phone conversations.

coworker 2;
Any feedback from a supervisor (including QAs) is a severe and personal insult to this person
constantly threatens to take people to HR (including supervisors) when he disagrees with them
Regularly makes inappropriate jokes
my supervisor sent him to HR for threatening me "jokingly". He thought I initiated that so every once in a while for months he would pipe in "better be careful or SOMEONE will send you to HR" amidst regular conversations with other coworkers.
jumps queue
Talks extremely disrespectfully to the team lead (like threat level disrespect)

Little to nothing is ever done. Yet if either complains about someone else, oh stop the presses and fix the issue that is upsetting them ASAP. Oh and coworker 1 and 2 hate each other and complain about each other for the above reasons. They have the fewest responsibilities at work, and are pretty much the pot and kettle. Everyone here has their one think, but those 2 take the cake and then some.

I'm too busy actually working to notice what the fools around me are doing

Part of my job is fool monitoring, so no choice here, lol.

It's one thing to heat up something like fish in the break room. But to bring it back to your desk and stink up half the building? That's annoying AF.

Most of the people in this room LOVE spicy stuff. Food is NOT allowed on the call floor. But several of them get these spicy wings from a food truck and always eat them in this SMALL room. These particular wings may not be volcano spicy according to them, but the smell or fumes always leaves my throat sore and sometimes irritates my eyes. I've pleaded with them not to eat them in this room, but they don't care. I wouldn't care if it didn't cause actual physical discomfort. A couple of times so many people ate them throughout the day that i had a sore throat the rest of next 1-3 days. It's not like we don't have a big cafeteria 20 feet from our door.

Someone I work with uses paper towel and then leaves it on the counter. The garbage can is literally below the counter. This is the height of laziness.

write his/her name on the towel in magic marker

She says peace out instead of goodbye. Every single *kitten* time. Phone, in person, and it doesn't matter who the person is.

Cowork used to work for coke a cola and I am pretty sure he misses it. I hear about 6 stories a night about how much he misses working for the company and same time every night blows his nose at his desk. He then tells me how many work days are left in the week. I mean I think I should know I am working as well..

He eats Tostitos sitting next to me when I'm on conference calls and the only thing I can hear is him crunching his corn chips for 15 minutes. Then he closes the bag and its more crinkle crinkle.
