Post your Pet Peeves for the day

I know we're just getting started on this beautiful Friday, but I know that i've already had some pet peeves, so I figured you have too!

My co-worker is always talking to me during the workday about her BF, and I always listen and have an engaging conversation. But when I want to tell her something about mine (like this morning about meeting the daughter), she pretty much brushes me off. It really irks me!

Your turn!

    I can't stand when people do that to me.

    I have two.  Clipping your finger nails at work.  Drives me crazy!  And the co-worker that sits right next to me does that a few times a week (not sure how his finger nails grow that quickly). 

    The other pet peeve is another thing he does -- the heavy sighing ALL THE TIME. He hates working here and thinks he's above every job at this company, so any time anything is said or done he sighs heavily.  

    If he ever sighed while clipping his finger nails, I would probably lose my sh!t on him!

  • The big boss in my office doesn't wear an undershirt under his dress shirts and it bugs the hell out of me.
    The day I left was just my beginning.
  • we just hired a new guy 2 weeks ago and every SINGLE time he walks into someone's office he says KNOCK KNOCK. Every. Time. Even if the person can clearly see him. He is sorta annoying anyway so that just really gets me.
  • Finger nail clipping at work takes the cake.

     Mine is minor but how difficult is it to clear the microwave cook time when you are done?  I hate when people leave 10 seconds left on it.

    I made a comment about that once to someone in the kitchen -- now I swear everyone on this floor does it on purpose just to annoy me.  Ok, not really. But I would say 9 times out of 10 when I go in there the microwave is blinking because someone didn't clear it.  I always hit the clear button.

  • I have two:

    People who take their sweet time walking in front of your car b/c they have the righ of way. I get it, pedestrians have the right of way, but I think some people purposely walk as slow as possible.

    People who blame getting fat and making stupid decisions b/c the baby is sucking their brain cells when they are only 6 weeks pregnant.

    Harsh, but true. I also agree about how some people walk intentionally slow.

    My biggest pet peeve today is that other people are working my cubicle area and I have to actually work instead of dicking around like I planned to do all day.

  • Ooh, I have so many! 

    My boss is driving me crazy, and I am about to go and sit in on a 3 hour meeting with him, and the rest of the staff.  The day cannot go any slower. 

    I am taking a 4:00 appointment for a co-worker today because he failed to get his taxes done, and that was their only available appointment for him. 

    I have been super-cranky for 48 hours straight, and can't seem to shake it, but also can't quite pinpoint what is causing it! 

    I am seeing Titanic on Sunday with girlfriends, and am dreading seeing it (again), but think it would be rude if I just joined them for dinner after.

    This drives me BSC.

    This doesn't bother me, but what does is when food explodes in the microwave at work and people don't bother wiping it down with a paper towel.  Gross!
