Is there anything that your co-workers do that drives you insane? I'm not talking about pranks, just stuff that they do unknowingly that makes you want to scream?

I used to work with a woman who ate lunch at her desk every day, and it was always something out of a ceramic bowl (soup, cereal, whatever). And when she'd get to the bottom of the bowl it was always the spoon clanging against the bottom like she was scraping the last tidbit out. (Scrape, cling, scrape...Scrape, cling, scrape...Scrape, cling, scrape...) Arghhhh! I wanted to slam her with the bowl... every day!!! (If you are reading this, Cindy, yes it was you!)

One of my co-workers go out of their way to point out my mistakes and then proceeds to tell me the correct way to do it. She always does it on something I know how to do and do it everyday. Even simple typos on inner office notes. She makes mistakes all of the time and I feel no need to point them out because it is useless. They are not mistakes that are made consistantly just every once in a while. Its so irritating. One time I sent out a massive fax for marketing and a customer called back on her line and left her a voicemail politely asking us to remove him from the list. She pulled me asside the next day, got all serious and said "I think you should listen to this message". After listening to it I got so annoyed that she just wasted my time. She could have just said, "So& So wants to be taken off of the fax list" Stuff like that happens all pf the time.

yeah big time!
i work shifts and there's a guy who works on the following shift who always runs me down to make himself look better. he needs to really because he is a very tardy [yes tardy] worker. he spends more time collecting lottery and talking to his mates on the other side of the factory than he does on the machine!
one day he took three quarters of an hour to come to the machine and he was caught out by the foreman, and guess what, he blamed me for not doing something that i wasn't even supposed to do! thats what i call back stabbing...major league back stabbing and it's really annoying, [trying to be polite]

Buttkissing. I hate when everyone hates the boss untill he walks into the room. I think I was the only one at my last job that let my boss know when I was unhappy with him, everyone just bloated on what a wonderful job he was doing....I hate that. Speak up, you get no where by being this way.....

My co-worker chews with her mouth open and it gets really annoying when she is chewing on something really crunchy. In addition to that she speaks with her mouth full so crumbs get spit all over the place and its soooooooooooo gross

i hate it, absolutely hate it, when my co-workers act bubbly and happy all the time. i just think it's impossible for people to be so completely euphoric all the time, especially at work.
