Many of us befriend our colleagues in the workplace, but sometimes our coworkers can really irritate us. We take a look at 20 irritating things your co-workers do.
Eating Smelly Food At Their Desk
“Moira, please go eat your boiled eggs and tuna in the staff canteen, preferably in the corner or perhaps on the bench outside.”
Telling You Their Life Story
“While it is great to get the basics of family life and what they got up to at the weekend, we don’t really need to know about the family argument between your mom and your aunt in 1976.”
Taking Credit for Your Work
“That was my idea, Janet! Is there anything more frustrating than brainstorming ideas and doing the prep work only for someone to jump in at the last second and pretend it was their idea?”
People Who Set Their Hours
There is a fine line between needing flexibility and being obtuse, as one online user can identify with when they said, “We had one person who would start 1/1.5 hour later than anyone else because they weren’t a morning person, which was fine as we have an 8-6.”
Telling You They Sent You An Email
“You are literally sitting right next to me, like talking to me. Why did you feel the need to send an email?”
Typing Loudly
“Wow, James, you are really getting your aggression out in the wrong way!”
The Organizers
One online fan does not like making a fuss about people leaving. They say that the people who “Pass around greeting cards for everyone to sign when someone is leaving” are so annoying.
Talking in The Bathroom
Another online user commented that they did not like people “Talking on the phone in the bathroom! Can I please go in peace? I don’t need more strangers listening in on my bathroom habits.”
People Not Washing Their Dishes
“We left college years ago, people. Start washing up after yourself rather than leaving your mugs on the sink for others to clean.”
Motivational Monday Fans
“We want to be back in bed, Sarah, so no amount of mindful quotes is going to inspire us today.”
The Gossip
“Is it me, or did we leave high school 2 decades ago?”
Poor Personal Hygiene
One commenter added this to a thread on annoying office habits, “Close talkers that don’t realize their breath smells like a colostomy bag.”
Taking Selfies
According to one online user, selfies have infiltrated the office. They said, “Is it an ‘I hate the constant noise of you taking selfies’ thing or is it that they’re being quiet, but you hate having to watch them change their face in front of the camera and try hard?”
The Complainer
“Now, we all hate work from time to time, but some people are never happy.”
People Being Off Sick All of The Time
“You do realize we have to pick up the slack!”
The Singer
“You may think you have a lovely voice, Bob, but the rest of us are spending a fortune on earplugs.”
Messy Desks
“I do not spend money on cleaning products and stay late to keep my desk clean only for your junk to spill over onto my personal space. Time to get a cloth out, Barbara.”
Asking What You Have For Lunch
Every. Single. Day.
People Who Don’t Look At You When You Are Talking
“Ok, you just keep typing why I try to explain this important budget change, Tom!!”
Taking Over Every Inch of The Office
Those people who think their office is their home and don’t even move out of the way when you need to walk down the hallway.
We are sure that you will identify some of these annoying things office workers do and hope you don’t have to face more than one at a time!
