What annoying things do your coworkers do?

Our coworkers can be some of our favourite people. The workplace can be a melting pot of colourful personalities coming together as a team and sometimes the differences can be fun and inspiring. We can learn from each other and expand our horizons a little. As adults, we usually put on our big kid pants at the office and remain civil even if we don’t all agree because usually the end goal is mutual. Generally at work people are on their best behaviour – right? Hhhhmm well, maybe not always.

Do your co-workers do anything you find annoying? A recent study says some of the most annoying things they can do includes partaking in frequent gossip, dropping by your desk constantly, bringing pets to work and breathing heavily. Heavy breathing? Not sure what kind of close quarters office environment breathing would be an issue? Cubicles?

Brian had a co-worker who took her shoes off in a small office all the time and had really smelly feet. Disclosure – this is not me. Brian also finds people constantly talking to him and asking questions annoying. Disclosure – probably me.

My complaints would mostly be related to the thieves around the office. You know, the pen pilpherers, the parking space stealers. You know who you are. And who the heck is turning on the air conditioner around here all the time?? It’s like a meat locker in here.

What do your co-workers do that you find annoying?
