Office Pet Peeves

What's a common event at your office that, while not a huge deal, is aggravating to you?

Some of mine are:

-Someone pushes an already lit elevator button
-A co-worker just walks up to your desk and instead of saying hi or asking a question just stand there and stares at you, waiting for you to acknowledge their presence.
-While you are talking to another co-worker, a different co-worker stands there staring at you waiting for you to finish without saying anything.
-The bathroom has 3 equal urinals, you are on the left, with nobody at the other two, someone comes in and takes the middle one.

There is a lady in my office who talks in baby talk about 25% of the time. She is about 50.

Sometimes, my dog comes in and drops a huge bomb. That [censored] stinks like hell.

I could go on for hours about ridiculous things that people do that relate to elevators.

Speaker phones with office doors wide open.

Yeah, I think boxers tend to be puppies until they're more like 3-5 years old. I kind of like that, though. He's a ton of fun.

Easily the worst is those who heat up leftover seafood in the office kitchen. Salmon is the king of stench, but any kind of seafood surprise leaves the entire office in misery.

- Guys walking into the men's room while talking on the phone.
- Meeting/Presentation/Whatever...presenter reads PowerPoint slides verbatim.
- People walking in to my cube when I've got 96 points in Weboggle, and more than 30 seconds left.

The lady thats sits across from me talks to her family (or family related) most of the day. Everyday I get to hear about her 2 ongoing court cases, the problems she is having selling her house, the issues about her new house, or some random [censored] regarding law (she is always talking about prop 13) and how she can angle shoot it... makes me wanna puke.

Also add that she tells the exact same story (a new one every day though, mostly) to the lady next to her about 5-6 times before we even hit noon.

Everyday around lunchtime the whole building just stinks to high hell. Think massive mixture of Chinese, Vietnamese, and Indian everyday.

There is another lady who has a realty company on the side and she is always printing out 50 page documents on the color printer WTF?? /images/graemlins/confused.gif


Thankfully I am away in mtgs any where from 3-6 hrs a day or my head would explode.. I need to buy som new headphones too!

I do both #2 and #3. Why are they annoying? Isn't it more rude for me to interupt you?
