- People who know the shredder is full but then walk away from it without emptying the bin out.
- People who use the last of the printer paper, but rather than putting more paper in, reroute their prints to a different printer.
- People who think I'm a fucking mind reader when it comes to project specifications.

Oh, and I used to work with a guy who would try to proselytize at work. That was really fucking annoying. And the place was too laid back to fire him outright for harrassment. I finally got him to leave me alone by trying to convert him to Scientology

Didn't read pages 3-4...

But ya'll should really cut those older sametimers a break...they don't know the deal, yo.

(I read page two and you fuckers are annoying. Quit your jobs, you whiny ass bitches.)

^^ This thread is about annoyances. I would hope anything more serious than the sort of shit in this thread would be categorized as more than an annoyance.

when a ton of people in a teamroom with one shared printer use alternate sizes of paper to print, clog the printer due to running the short trays out of paper, and then never go and either load the paper or clear the job.

9/19/2007 9:57:07 AM

You guys have to load your own paper?

9/19/2007 10:02:24 AM

people who stare at me when they walk past my office

9/28/2007 3:13:55 PM

you people

9/28/2007 3:41:26 PM

the utter bullshit i have to go through because i work for a huge company.

fuck HR.

9/28/2007 3:43:40 PM

I'm not sure if someone stated this one already but:

- I hate when people decide to have like a 15 minute conversation next to my cube while I am working in the middle of the aisle.
- People that don't wash their hands in the restrooms
- Or people that twitch all day that are near my cube and make my monitor shake. However I think I might accidently do this too, but it's fair game.

9/28/2007 4:18:21 PM

People who ask you on Monday/Tuesday what your plans are for the weekend. EVERY GODDAMN WEEK.

10/3/2007 1:20:11 PM

Free pizza for lunch. Oh wait, that not really an annoyance...

10/3/2007 1:21:41 PM

People with loud, piercing, annoying voices who yell to their speakerphone during a conference call WITH THEIR DOOR WIDE OPEN SO EVERYONE CAN HEAR

10/3/2007 1:22:07 PM

Most of these seem to be cubicle-based. I have my own office so I really don't have any annoyances like that.

My biggest pet peeve is people acting like they are way too busy and stressed out when their workload is literally half of mine (because they can't handle it) and I work less hours a week... I love when they try and get me to do their work because they know I won't get stressed.

[Edited on October 3, 2007 at 1:24 PM. Reason : I've gotten good it saying no, that's not my job, a thousand different ways.]

10/3/2007 1:23:36 PM

The more of this thread I read, the more I'm glad I don't work in a cubicle.

However, I do have a new annoyance to report--bathroom conversations. There have been a couple of times lately where I'll go into the men's room and there will be two or three guys just standing there carrying on a conversation. I mean really...go out into the hall or something. Why anyone would voluntarily stay in a restroom longer than necessary is beyond me.

10/3/2007 4:23:48 PM

1) people that having annoying voices. - mostly girls with high pitch voices.
2) gays with their collars popped.
3) people that fart and think it's funny.

10/3/2007 4:38:43 PM

its not a workplace but my lab partner keeps telling me to kill myself

10/3/2007 5:04:44 PM

motherfuckers who coil and twist and fuck with the phone cord

bastards who are careless, fuck shit up, and put it out without checking for errors. Just don't do it, if you're not going to do it right: it's easier to notice that way when something needs to be handled

10/9/2007 6:01:03 PM

having to stay awake is really annoying

10/9/2007 10:55:09 PM

1. people with annoying fucking ring tones set to extra loud
2. people that come to my cubicle and stare at my screen. yes i am on tww do not act like you are not on ESPN.com every time i walk over.
3. whoever finishes the coffee pot and does not refill it.
4. ending up getting the 100 replies when other employees select "reply all" to the mass distributed emails.
5. people that ask me to do something within the first 20 mins of me arriving to work. unless it is super high priority then you will wait for me to drink my 1st cup of coffee, check my employee email, check facebook, etc
6. people not on my team that make comments when i roll into work at 9:15-9:30. I do not make off-hand comments at you when you leave at 4 pm so stfu. (it is actually beneficial to my group that some members arrive at 8 while others arrive later and leave 5:30-6 pm)

I do all the time... but only when my office door is closed. I also take calls on speaker when I'm in the middle of something. So what?

10/10/2007 5:07:52 PM

please do not come up to me and ask me to do something that you've had ALL fucking day to ask me to do when I have not had anything to eat all day and it is fucking 4:00. ESPECIALLY when you go back to your seat and sit on your ass.

10/10/2007 5:12:07 PM

just say NO!

10/10/2007 5:17:05 PM

haha I know right.
I have a hard time saying no

10/10/2007 5:17:53 PM

Contradicting orders from the bosses on the same case.

10/10/2007 5:18:41 PM

ncsucharlie is annoying as shit.

10/10/2007 5:21:51 PM

whomever had my office before me MANGLED the phone cord

10/10/2007 5:34:49 PM

^

1. pick up the receiver
2. hold the cord, letting the receiver dangle
3. allow it to spin out of its mangled state
4. hang up the phone
5. profit

10/10/2007 5:35:47 PM

I work in an ice cream store.

People are always saying "OMG how do you work here and stay so skinny? I'd weight like 500 lbs!!!"

I should tell them I have cancer, bulimia, and/or a Lapband. That'll make them STFU.

10/10/2007 5:39:29 PM

I worked in a hotel as a bellman once and I would help my 80 year friend, the beverage manager for the bar, unload the boxes he would get from the liquor store. I'd be using a dolly to roll the boxes through the lobby into the bar and without fail I would always have someone tell me "I'm in room 512" or "You can go ahead and take that to my room." Always the same shit. It's like they think they're the first ones who've ever thought of that or something.

10/10/2007 5:53:00 PM

ben- does that phone get the year 1991?

10/10/2007 6:16:02 PM

10/11/2007 1:47:05 PM

-people who print their powerpoint slides to the plotter instead of the laser printer.
-people who leave the laminator on and then it smells like the place is on fire.
-people who take the F-350 to run around town errands and return it with 1/132nd of a tank of gas left in it instead of using the damn hybrid.
-people who's office clutter is so bad it is overflowing out of their doorways.
-people who intercom eac other at full volume when their offices are right next to each other.
-little miss "kind to your face" but when you turn your back she becomes the backstabbing she-devil.

10/11/2007 8:38:17 PM

^^^^ it's ok, I got those when I worked at a corporation over the summer. Most of the time, it seems like they just get automatically deleted.

The worst is if you reply to all with naked pics.
