I hate ALL of those things, but fish in the microwave is by FAR the worst.

I chose fish in the microwave but too much perfume is a close second.

I was torn between this and annoying sounds. At least the fish smell you can get away from!You know another one I forgot about until just now? Smokers who smell when they come back inside from smoking. That's up there in the top three for me.

I chose poor hygiene and in that category I'm including spitting tobacco into a cup on your desk as well as clipping your fingernails at work and rubbing lotion on your feet at work - all seen by me!

See, I feel like you CAN'T get away from the smell.

At least with noises you can put headphones in (if your office allows that).

Chewing tobacco?! ...That was here in Jax, wasn't it?I have a chewing tobacco story, but it's not for the weak-stomached.

I put too much perfume cuz that shiitt gives me a headache. I also hate getting into the elevator after someone who recently smoked was on it. That gives me a headache as well.

When I worked at the hospital someone burnt popcorn in a microwave on one floor and the fire alarms went off throughout the ENTIRE hospital.

No, a short stint in a Simi Valley office. Ha!!

Wow... so many excellent choices. I have experienced most of those issues, particularly the one of stinky food in the microwave that then wafted down an entire unwindowed hallway and pooled in my office. I'm still unsure why this person wasn't left for the pond gator.

However, at this point, I am perpetually annoyed by the 'attachment clippy' on every email by certain people, when all it is is their damn company logo. Seriously, it's in your domain name and your signature. I know where you work. Don't get me all excited about the fact that you're sending me a file when IT IS YOUR FRIGGING LOGO. DELETE DELETE DELETE.

I chose poor hygiene but really all of the choices are annoying/gross.

I chose poor hygeine. One of my CWs seemingly forgets his clothes in the washer....so they have that sour-y smell. And my boss lives 3 miles from the office, and would come in.....straight from waking up.....to meet with me for whatever various reason.....then go home to shower before heading out to meet customers. Apparently, I don't warrant a shower....or brushing your teeth. Ick!

Oh, that is horrendous. My dad is terrible about doing this at family gettogethers. He comes in, I gag and then he throws up his arms like "WHAAA? I don't smell, I washed my hands!!!!"

I voted smelly fish since it affects the whole office but I really hate people who over-do the cologne/perfume thing too because of my allergies/asthma.

Temp103605875001677 · August 2011

Fish, makes me want to vomit. My CW has been known to eat microwaveable fish for breakfast.

alwaysfare · August 2011

Cologne/perfume is the worst to me. I've never experienced it personally, but I can't believe people think microwaved fish is ok in an office environment. Gag!

It's seriously disgusting. Imagine this in a 2,000 sq. ft. office. Specially a in kitchen the size of a cubicle and a half.

A CW at my last job used to make that like once a week. Ick!

I used to share a (very small) office with a guy who 1) smoked, 2) used lots of breath mints, wore cologne, and had a plugin air freshener at his desk to compensate, 3) insisted we keep the office door closed at all times, and 4) had a picture/logo attachment at the bottom of every email. Gah! The best part is, I was told he'd be coming back to my group soon and we will again be sharing this tiny space.

Oh, and my DH is a fish in the microwave offender. Not frozen meals, but when we have leftovers. I told him that was terrible but he doesn't care. He also eats tuna in the office a couple times a week... not sure if that's just as bad?

Kristin&Adam · August 2011

Strong cologne/perfume.. you can't get away from it! My old cube neighbor was the worst about it and I felt like I reeked of his cologne all the time!
