Annoying things people do at work... vent away!

We have our internal auditors in our office this week.  One girl is on the heavier side, and insists on running down the hall ALL THE TIME!  Hm hello, what can be THAT important that requires you to run?!  So, whenever she passes by, the floor shakes and and makes pounding noises, which I hate.

Who's next?

  • Oh, I got another... speaker phone while in a cubicle!  Unless there is someone else in your cube that requires to listen to the person on the phone, please pick up your receiver!

  • LOL! Jackie, your two were too funny.

    I hate it when people talk really loud. I work in a lab, which means that in general, everything you do doesn't require you to speak all that much, your basically working on your stuff. I've got two guys down the hall that talk at the top of their lungs about absolutely nothing. Sometimes my inner librarian comes out and I'm like, "Shuuuuuuush!" We've got the radio going, that's all you need, stop talking about your facebook status!

  • How about heating up stinky food (i.e., fish) at lunch!  No offense, I love fish, but I know it stinks up the entire office so I don't bring it in people!

    Ok, I can't be the only one w/ annoying coworkers... spill it girls!

  • I've got a couple.

    1. when people call you on speaker phone and then when you pick it up and start talking they slam the receiver in you ear. HATE that.

    2. Co-workers standing behind you as close as they can to see what you are doing, when its none of their business. (hello personal bubble) 

    3. Some ripes a piece of paper or file out of your hand before youre finished with it.

    4. Co-work tells you how to do your job, but they can't seem to figure out their own. 

     

    I could go on and on but I'll stop here. Great post Jackie. I needed to vent. Thanks!

  • Ugh!!  I have some:

    1.  People who mess up the copy machine and then just walk away - I mean c'mon try and at least unjamb the thing...

     2.  The endless meetings that accomplish nothing....we have a meeting to discuss what we're going to meet about....

    3.  Co-workers who constantly whine about their lives but yet do nothing to change it....

     I could go on all day.....

    I'm normally not this bitter....Smile

    When life hands you a bunch of lemons, make lemonade-call me over and I'll bring the tequila and salt!
  • 1. Hovering. Stay out of my personal space, or I will remove you from it.

    2. People who try to start a conversation with you when you are obviously engrossed in actual WORK.

  • I work with a guy who has a SAHW who calls him ALL day long.  It's ridiculous.  I want to call her myself and tell her to get a hobby.  Seriously, she calls sometimes like right on the hour.  His phone is never on vibrate, always rings.  Then he makes baby voices to his kids for at least like 10 minutes.  It drives me nuts! I have a child, I miss him all day.  This guy's not alone.  I'd love to talk to my little guy on the hour, but I just think he needs to be more courteous.
