Loud, sustained typing. Its the sound of thoughtless bullshit being pumped into the internet.

Also, 'the arguer'. The person who always starts their intrusion into your conversations with "Well, actually..."

No one wrote what their favorite Michael Bolton song is!!

Listening to people eat. Especially apples.

Dangerous drivers are the most "annoying" thing about my "office."

What really pisses me off is that my boss thinks he can make us work 60hr weeks and then bounce paychecks.

The guy that doesnt shut the fuck up, and cant stay on the flipping topic because he runs he mouth so god damn much!!!

What annoys me the most is that less than 10% of the people I work with know how to actually use a computer! I can't believe there are people who don't know what the Shift key does and instead turn Caps Lock on and then off to capitalize a single letter..

Graphic artist jobs

Similarly, when I get calls in the morning..

Them - "I can't log on"

Me - "Is your caps lock on?"

T - "No"

M - "Are you sure?"

T - "Yes" (followed up with an indignant "I do know how to use a computer!")

So, I go to their cubicle, turn the caps lock off, and get the to log on which is usually followed with...

T - "What's caps lock anyway?"

The ones that bring in really awful food...and then eat it.

The coworker who sits next to me and obsessively twirls her hair all day. So freakin annoying!

How about co-workers with a sniffing habit? SNIFF SNIFF, every 3 minutes or so. Also, a co-worker with a year-round allergy that results in much nose-blowing. Yuck, is that disgusting or what? Listening to someone's snotty nose-blow every couple of minutes. Kill me now.

How about speaker-phone calls? In a law firms, partners do not talk any other way! With their doors open. I often wonder if clients would appreciate knowing that their business is being broadcast all up and down the halls.

I almost forgot about the shocking level of literacy.

Every single day I have to deal with email written almost entirely in 'txt speak'

You've got a full keyboard and unlimited space to type your message; bloody use it!!

Hands down, incompetence. Every day I have to cover someone else's ass because they don't pay attention to details or are general half-assed.

Close second: rushing. When there's such a hurry to get something done that no one is paying attention or managing. This typically leads to three people doing the same thing and no one to make sure it's the right thing (often isn't).

Either way, it ends up with me on the phone with a screaming client or standing in the client's office telling them how sorry I am and how I will correct my company (and my co-worker's) mistakes.

Makes me look like a rock star since I have the cranial fortitude get it done right, and allows me screaming rights in the office since we've got a big sign that reads "Do it right the first time or don't bother doing it at all". I reference that frequently.

Incompetence promoted to senior level management, and their actions thereafter are what burns me. Yes, lets give the idiot millions of dollars to play with, and see what they come up with. Oh, his/her project is a total disaster? Time to aim the money cannon at the problem. Didn't solve it? Aww nuts.

Dunno, like, maybe people talking with that Valley Girl/Frat Boy accent that end every sentence, with, like, a question mark but still, like, are my bosses so they can, like, tell me what to do 'n sh*t?

If it ends in a question mark, I'm going to assume I've got the option of not doing it. The trouble is, though, payroll also feels, under those conditions, my paycheck is optional, too.

'do you follow?'

my favorite comment: 'you COULD have done it this way'...wtf? could have? isnt there always a better way to do sometihng? thats like saying 'i dont know the way to have done this better, but it could have been done that way.'

Hotstepper - it's 9:48pm here.

Aren't you supposed to be at your "outside of core office hours" meeting right now?

People who bring their squealing brats in to show off to the office, which causes all the menopausal women to congregate while interrupting our jobs.

Bugger, that was in the wrong place. Sorry.
