Office no-no's

take a piece of tape and put it over the laser in the new mice, works just as well and does not change the weight of the device like taking the ball out.
"You kill the joe you make some mo. Come on you better than that, baby!"
-What bugs me is when I cough, not constantly but just because I have to cough, and somebody says "You going to be OK?" or "You going to make it?"
-I have a guy who takes the paper to the crapper, then comes out places it on my desk and says "here you go."
-Microwaved cauliflower is worse than broccoli.
-People not replacing the water cooler jug.
-Picking things up off my desk and reading them
-Reading over my shoulder.
-Asking me how my weekend was as an in to tell me about your exciting story involving the kids and the Wii.
-My coworker who listens to Christian rock, all day.
-My pregnant coworker who tells me about every little thing going on with her body and wants me to feel the baby kicking.
-The dude who insists on eating something while talking to me. He puts food in his mouth on purpose then comes to my desk with things to talk about.
- But none of them are worse than the Iowa fan across the hall who has to come over and tell me all about what the Hawks did in the bowl game, etc. No matter how many times I tell him to **** off or shut up or "I don't care" he keeps coming on over. What a ****!
Pet hair in general gets under my skin. I don't care if you want to live in it, but don't bring it to me.

The best are the ones complaining about being sick, then get right in your grill.
I have two huge office pet peeves....1) People that take their shoes off in the office. Leave your damn shoes on! It's an office, not your living room. Luckily placing a few tack under their desks has fixed that problem for me in the past. 2) People that sprint to the printer to pick up their print outs. We all get it...you are printing out some sort of pornographic material. We are all adult here.
OK most of these have been mentioned before but here are a few things I can't stand.
- The perfume thing, they wear so much you can smell them coming and for about a half hour after they leave.
- People who congregate right outside you office/cubicle and have a conversation as loud as they can. (never business related)
- People who ask if you are busy so you can do somthing that they are supposed to do because they don't know what they are doing. Learn to do your own job.
- The speaker phone use in a large open office area drives me crazy. Ifs its anywhere near me I find a way to make noise out of spite.
- People who show up to work sick so they can get sympathy for being sick. Stay home and be sick I don't need your disease.
Oh and this thing is worth ever freaking penny for office revenge pruposes.

People you dont like at work that ask you to do stuff outside of work. Its hard to find a new excuse each time, but I dont want to make work really ackward by saying I spend enough time with you at work, no thanks on the outside thing because it will turn into work talk...plus you are annoying.
I'm guilty of clipping my nails and posting from the crapper.
I hate the pregnant lady who thinks I need to here all of the difficulties she is having with her boyfriend. I don't care, you haven't had a positive thing to say in 8 months.
When people don't get that when I turn around it means I'm no longer interested in talking and would like to do some work/and or read CF.

I take my shoes off all the time. Of course, I also work in an office where I can wear flip-flops to work every day if I choose.
I like to plug my wireless USB mouse into the back of my coworker's computer and have a little fun while they're trying to do thier work!
I think someone mentioned it earlier, but people need to realize when they come to talk to you and stand in your office door, and you keep doing what you need to be doing, you are NOT interested in what they have to say.
All I can say to you is....gross. Grow up a little bit and keep your shoes on. No one wants to see your feet. You are lucky you don't work in my office. I would've broken you of that habit...the hard way.
office romance....esp when one of the parties is married.
leads to nothing but division in the workplace when the affair goes south.
