More office pet peeves....

In my last job, it was the guy who was the "one-upper". You know that person. You tell a story or some kind of anctedote and one-upper guy has to tell one ten times bigger than YOU!

I have worked with this guy too...we used to just screw with him and tell these far out stories so that he would top it...hilarious!

The fridge thief...

i work hard to make nice healthy lunches for myself each day...shame i only get to eat them every other day.

I did notice the gal in accounting is looking healthier, bet it's her....

Put a note in the fridge "To who ever is stealing my lunch. One in three lunches now include ex-lax. Do you feel lucky today?"

Do it! LOL

Working in cubicle land, for me it would be the person over the wall that takes their conference calls on speaker phone. Really dude???

The VERY LOUD TALKERS.... Seriously how do they do it?? I have a couple people in my office that have incredibly LOUD voices all of the time and they are all I can hear all day! Personally conversations, work conversations, everything!! I have to try to be that loud, it's an office, not a playground, SIMMER!! LOL :noway:

Lets see where do I begin.

#1 the girl who is constantly complaining about her weight and how tired she is, yet eats nothing but crap. Asks me how Im doing it, when I tell her she says, thats too hard why would you want to work that hard? then complains litterally all day about not feeling well, but it couldn't possible have anything to do with her eating habits and weight, its some mysterious plague that only effects her.

#2 Anyone saying to someone else or to me, as I'm getting ready to chow down on lunch. "That looks disgusting, your going to eat that"? I get it alot because I eat pretty healthy even if I'm eating a salad, that's grose wouldn't your rather have MC'Ds, how can you eat like that? I think it's rude especially if its something homemade. Everyone has different tastes. Also I dont mind people cooking there fish or whatever left overs in the kitchen. I much rather see them eating something homemade then crap fast food.

#3 The complainers/whiners/victims. alot of unhealthy people in here that eat terrible and you try and give them advice or techniques and they look at you like your speaking another language and keep doing the same old stuff that isnt working.

#4 The guy who always yells "watcha doin" as he sneaks up on me and everyone else its creepy and annoying.

#5 The guys that shut the door in there offices and take off there shoes and fart. It's disgusting. These are the same men who think its funny to use the womens bathroom for #2

#6 PEOPLE WHO CANT PROBLEM SOLVE

#7 The ones who refuse to make more coffee even though they used the last of it, same people who probably leave little puddles of coffee and creamer all over the counter. I'd hate to see what there houses look like.

#8 The ones that can obviously see your busy/swamped/stressed and DONT STOP TALKING...Really do I have to tell you to go away, I havent looked at yoou the entire 20 minutes you've been yappin?

I could go on and on but this is probably the worst of it. Im sure I do annoying stuff too. I hate setting my out of office assistant. my main bosses know im out thats all that matters. NOTHING IS AN EMERGENCY. I also eat at my desk....oh the horror! but I know its one of my coworkers pet peeves.. good thing its my desk and my office GTFO.

People standing in MY office having a full blown conversation about nothing having to do with work while im trying to work!!!! One of these times im going to SNAP! There is a hallway 5 feet away and a conference room down that hall, go have your freaking pow wow down there! Drives me bat crazy banananananas!

I'm one of these people that will come in your office and talk your ear off while you're trying to work. roflmao I sit out front by myself all day and get bored so I go and bug my coworkers throughout the day to break up the monotony. They do it to me too when the bosses aren't around to catch them to so it's all good. lol

Public nail clipper guy....none of us wants to hear you clipping your nails, go to the bathroom or better yet...do it at home!

We had one of these... and when he was let go and we had to go through his desk to clean up we found that he wasn't clipping them into his trash can but a drawer... IT WAS GROSS!!!

My biggest office pet peeve is having to tell someone that their job is possibly going to be made redundant - which I had to do today. Not nice.

how bout when they wear clothes?jeez

Also, LOL!!

Hearing my eployees say, "I'm so bored!" You know what! You're getting paid to sit and do nothing... shut up and enjoy the easy money or I'll fire your @$$!

I used to respond "The bathroooms need cleaning, you can take care of that if you have a few minutes"..... oddly they found something that needed doing.

for me, it's a BIGGER pet peeve if the person is out of the office and don't set the message, so you're continually trying to get an answer from them and you have no idea that they're gone and won't respond for a while....

I don't do that for safety reasons. It be annoying to my co-workers, but I don't want the whole world to know that I'm not home right now. Seems stupid, right?

The company I work for demands that you let everyone know when you are away. But, I disagree, I think personally, it's dangerous, not just for getting robbed, but it's also a little dangerous from a social engineering perspective. It's a bad policy and something that people shouldn't do. Instead, you just let a few people you work closely with know that you'll be out and that should suffice.

That's my $.02 on the topic.

My mom does this at home! Her answering machine changes by the hour!
"Hi! We stepped out to Walmart then to the bank. We'll be home about 4 leave a message or call back!"
:noway: WHAT!! so now I know no one is home, where you'll be (how far from home) and when you'll be back....UNSAFE!

I've tried explaining this to her...an hour later I called and got "hey we ain't home! Ran to get lottery tickets and cigarettes. Call us back!" I hung up.

Never never never say you're not there. Home or work ...we used to put on ours "we can't answer the phone we're cleaning our guns BANG! oh s hit! Leave a message!" (Recorded gunshot from backyard.

The office jargon slinger, we have one of these guys, everyday all day.
Dial it in, throttle back on that, get your ducks in a row, drill down, synergize, let's precon (pre construction meeting), .....etc.

1. typing the entire message of an email in the subject box. if its in all caps, then you can suck it.

2. conference calls on speaker phone and you don't close your door.

3. cold calls. and if you transfer one to me, you better believe it i'm going to get payback.

4. simply not listening to what i tell you. yeah, i get it, you're an idiot but insist on cc'ing 12 people to try to make me look like the bad guy. but if i've explained something to you 10 times, trust that i WILL "reply all" and make it crystal clear to you and everyone else how big of a dumb *kitten* you are.

5. replying all when its not neccesary.

6. cc'ing people that have absolutely no association with the purpose of your email.

7. people embellishing/lying on their linked in account or on any other social media. i realize this is not directly related to the office environment, but it still peeves me.

8. people who generally have bad attitudes all the time. who wants to work around that.?

9. constantly being on your cell phone for personal entertainment.

10. texting or emailing during a meeting if its obvious that its not an emergency.

11. talking up how oh so busy you've been in an attempt to make yourself look oh so in demand and important. i can understand venting, we can all vent to eachother, but don't be arrogant. we're ALL busy.

k, i'll get off my soap box now and get back to work. this has been a nice five minute break.

How did I forget - Being the only person in the department with a vagina does not automatically make me your Secretary.

I also hate it when the boss interrupts my mfp-time to give me work to do.

THIS!!!!!:laugh:
