Admittedly, I don’t work in an office with other employees. I work from my office at home. But I have spent years of my life in offices, including the soul-sucking cubicle farm.
No matter what office we work in, there are some things that simply drive us crazy when others do them. Here are a few I’m sure you can relate to:
#1 The Dreaded “Reply All”
The worst part about theĀ unending email thread is that there really is no escape. Although I do highly recommend the DELETE button.
#2 Loud music
We don’t all have the same taste in music. Please keep that in mind when you decide to share yours with those who don’t want to hear it.
#3 When the bathroom is a hot mess
Does your leave your bathroom at home in such a state of filth? On second thought, don’t answer that.
#4 Getting 10 emails when a brief face-to-face would suffice
Sure, I would love to schedule a meeting with you, but first let me finish this email that I’m sending in addition to the three dozen I sent earlier! Argh!!
#5 Passive Aggressive Emails
We are not impressed, OK? Not even a little. And no, you are not clever.
#6 Obnoxious personal phone conversations
I don’t want to hear about your cat, your dog, your child, your marriage, last night’s date, or what you plan to have for dinner. I. Just. Don’t!
#7 Co-workers clipping their nails at their desk
This puts in mind of a joke:
Person 1: Mind if I smoke?
Person 2: I don’t know; mind if I fart?
Do not clip your nails in public. Don’t. End of story.
#8 When the A/C isn’t on high enough
This is my personal #1 pet peeve. Hey, I can’t help that I’m hot-natured, but am I not making enough money for you to turn the freaking air on?!
#9 Loud Talkers
My hearing is fine. Or at least it used to be before I met you.
#10 Gum smacking
Have some respect for others. No one wants to hear that annoying smacking. Also, if you feel a need to chew gum all the time, perhaps you should consider having your teeth pulled. Need some help with that?
