What's ticking you off today/this week? My co-worker who is SUPER annoying. He's new to our staff, but has many years of experience in the profession.

I don't have all day to listen to stories about his kid.

What's ticking you off today/this week? my annoying co-worker showed up the other day wearing the same scarf that I just bought and wore last week. This is the third or fourth time that this has happened (just with different articles of clothing), so I was super pissed and annoyed. She already wore it again today....GAH! I only have so many clothes that I wear to work, and now I feel like I can't wear certain thing since she might have them on!!! I've been sick all week, and Carly still waking me up at night, so my tolerance for annoying people and situations has been quite low lately.
