couldn't agree more on the burnt popcorn and using speakerphone in your cubicle - especially when there are plenty of conference rooms and we even have headsets if you're wanting to be "hands-free."

Also people that use strong-smelling hand lotion or perfume/cologne.

I also do not enjoy talking to hawkeye fans about sports at work.:chatterbox:

Co-workers who apparently bathe, wash, rinse and drink perfume/cologne. Just because they have managed to kill off their ability to smell doesn't mean they have to destroy mine.

I work with some people who are exactly the opposite. I wish to god they would put on some Brut or eat a breath mint, or something. You get within 2 feet of them and it's like hitting a wall. We have a shower in one of our bathrooms at work, but it rearely gets used. Too bad.

There's a guy that I work with that frequently takes a sandwich into the john with him. When he comes out, it is gone.

ANyone who microwaves something that smells good around 11 am should be shot. That hour between 11 and noon can seem VERY long.

getting on the elevator for a 1 floor ride.

or, thrusting your arm through the closing elevator door to keep it from closing so you can jump in, and then saying "sorry". You're not sorry or you would have waited for one of the other 4 elevators.

I watch people do this every day and I have no idea why.

this drives me nuts. I work on the last floor before the next 'layer' of floors for different elevators. I see this daily, usually more than once per trip and it drives me nuts

I hate seeing the creepy security guy that makes rounds in the building. He's so tall that he has no problem seeing over your cube and stares at you as he walks by slowly.

I love unplugging peoples mice or if it still a ball mouse i love taking the ball out and watch them try to figure out whats wrong. Or another classic is to take just two keys out of the keyboard and switch it around.

  1. Heating up milk or dairy products. They stink to high heaven.
  2. Making a mess in the microwave and leaving it
  3. Showing up to work everyday 5 minutes late. If you can be five minutes late everyday, why not just show up on time everyday
  4. Taking up the closest parking stalls instead of leaving them for customers or guests. For crying out loud people walk an extra 40 ft. You fat rear that you sit on all day will thank you later.
  5. The question "are you busy?" No I am just sitting here doing nothing.
  6. Standing at the door of my office, for an extended period of time, while I am on the phone seemingly to ask an important question. Causing me to stop my discussion and then ask some question that could have waited three days for an answer.
I could go on.
