What is your workplace pet peeve?

in Chit-Chat
Mine is trying to glean information from someone over the phone and having a ton of noise around me. Or contributing to a conversation and being ignored and/or talked over.

The calendar says it's a Tuesday, but this is SO a Monday. Fight me.

    Don't leave 1/8" of coffee in the pot, bro. I bet you leave one square of toilet paper on the roll, too. Who hurt you?? Why are you like this??

    Coworkers who constantly talk/whine about food, diets, weight loss, etc, and constantly eat and snack.

    I am so glad I deal with NONE of this in my current office. It's heavenly.

    Retired now. But people eating my lunch, using my milk(for coffee), and showing up while I am setting up food for MY CREW, wanting some before my guys even show up. I know where you work and how much $$ you make. You can afford to buy your own food!

    When your coworker incessantly complains about their personal problems and asks for advice.

    Re @corinasue1143 - it still blows my mind when I hear that people eat other people's food from work fridges. Its so bold.

    Right. Like geez Karen I get the fact you're keto glutonic phosphate free vegan Crayola canola oil only, and more power to you, but don't give me cut eye when I take a donut because you're torturing yourself to look good for your overweight husband who won't sleep with you anymore because you're 4 pounds overweight

    At my new job there is really only one. And that is a lady who works with me. She obsesses over everything I do and usually makes snide comments about it, whether its when we are planning a lunch and she has to tell everyone i'm on a special diet??? Which I am not. Or my boss told me I could leave early on Friday (he told her too) and when I actually did she complained to HR. There is nothing in our dress code about wearing shirts with words on them, its a very, very casual office but she always tells me she thinks its unprofessional when I wear them. I have a hoop ring in my nose and she casually mentions in front of my boss that facial piercings on women are unattractive. I have so many more examples and I've only been here 10 months.

    Holy smokes...what a miserable person!
