Work pet peeves

[JudynTX]

The annoying new hire that comes in and starts demanding ridiculous accomodations first thing are always good.

Like what, private bathroom?

People who tell you really long stories that are unrelated to work, especially when you're on a deadline. You're walking out the door, down the hall, and you can still hear them trying to get in some pointless details.

Those are the ones who say "to make a long story short", but it never is.

Like what, private bathroom?

Hah, we have actually had an issue with a tranny they hired and determining which restroom it should use.. not sure about the outcome though. I've had another er come in and demands brand new EVERYTHING, PC, mouse, keyboard, phone, etc. because of germs. I'm sure HR loves reminding these idiots of the keyword reasonable.

We have this one lady in our department who is LOUD. Everything she does is loud. She bangs on her keyboard, we think she must be a little hard of hearing because she talks extremely loudly - even on the phone. She smacks her food when she eats at her desk, even makes some crazy-ass noise when she takes a drink of something. Doesn't just close a drawer, has to be slammed, etc.

We can't stop the invoice-stamping/slamming, but we were able to stop the personal calls to/from her mother which happened all day. She's a 50-something, never-been-married person who lives with her mother who is in poor health. We know she is in poor health because we hear about every doctor's appointment, every dose of Colace she needs to take, every prescription she's on, and her numerous trips to hospital. Fea even came to work with a MRSA infection a few weeks ago.

7 YEARS we've had to endure this. She is all of my pet-peeves rolled into 1 person.

Sounds like a lonely, disgruntled, obsese woman. You guys need to come together and take her out to TGIFridays for lunch time drinks.

There is nothing worse than working with someone who refuses to reply to your email inquiries. I mean seriously, are you too good to reply?

I work with one of those. Now, I just e-mail her boss when I have a question.

Sorry, but I am tired these days of the young people at my work who think their ideas are so innovative when they simply are not.

Just started my job a month ago, no peeves yet.

The work part is my pet peeve.

I recieve over 400 emails a day at work, I ignore 95% of them.

I've got enough rules set up in Outlook for the idiots to where I only ever see about 20% of them.

Does anyone else have to arrange their summer vacation days with their coworkers?

I can deal with just about anything except someone who shows up to work stinking like .
