Poll: Name your office disgusting habits or pet peeves

crysbena

I'm so glad it's Friday!!

What are your co workers or office mates disgusting habits or pet peeves?

My cube mate is a good looking, sweet talking woman who is currently snorting back her snot and swallowing it.  SO disgusting!!  It's so annoying to hear her doing it all day... yuck..vomit!  Who does that? At least nasty men spit it out or something.  I just made myself gag..

Mrs.Brink

Oh omg I got one.

I used to have this overwieght co worker (very, very overweight) who used to go #2 in the only bathroom we had available. But the worst was that she had psoriasis (sp??) and would leave her crusties on the toilet ( at least I hope it was psoriasis ). That was the year the techs started buyin their own air freshener.....

This!!!!!  When she started, I thought it was the guy on the other side of the wall but then I realized it was her and everytime she does it I gag....OUT LOUD!  I can't even control it.

Also, the women's room is disgusting! Do people really leave their bathrooms at home in that condition?  FLUSH PLEASE!

I could go on and on....

One of the worst once is the nail clipping that goes on across the entire floor here. I hear my coworker doing it, the guy five cubie rows down doing it, etc. SO freaking gross! I'm not sure why people think it's ok to clip their nails at work and have nail clippings flying all over the place. Barf.

My biggest pet peeve today is hearing the gaggle of idiots talking about the storms we had last night. "My house shook!" "By the time I went to bed, they said 200,000 had lost power!" "I've never seen a storm like that!" Really? REALLY?? You're 800 years old and you've NEVER seen a storm like that. Doubtful. But yes, please keep wasting time and avoiding work. Must be nice.

I just went in our break room and someone has a sandwich just sitting on the shelf in the fridge... no container or anything.

I wouldn't even do that in my own fridge, much less a communal one... ew

OMG This!  My boss and coworker both do this and they are on both sides of my cube.  It is so gross.  It is always GUYS that are doing this!

One of my coworkers clips his nails at his desk and the shrapnel flies everywhere.  EW.

The thing that has been so irritating since I started working in this office is the women who continually piss on the floor. It is so gross. I do not want their piss on my shoes. Use the damn seat cover or learn how to aim. In fact all of my coworkers bathroom habits are gross. It is like when they get into public all sorts of cleanliness and courtesy go out the window. I hope they don't piss on the floor at home. Grrr.

Mrs. Brink-- that is soooo gross.

Crysbena-  I gagged when I read that. Eww!

I share an office with the office manager. She leaves bottle water laying all over desks. She drinks from it when its been sitting there for a week. She does the same thing with a glass of water. She'll get it let it sit there for a few days and then drink from it. I haven't seen her wash this glass yet.  I know its just water but ew it gets pretty dusty in here.

Bathroom

• I hate it when peeps leave 4 sheets of tp on the roll and don't bother to grab a new one. 
• I also can't stand it when they miss the garbage with their paper towels.

General

• People who are late for meetings
• People who don't read emails or respond to voicemails
• Women who wear shirts that show their bellies

Breakroom

• Sticky tables
• Old food in the fridge
• Icecubes that pile up in the back of the freezer 'cause someone moved the box that catches them from the maker

Copier

• Not refilling the paper or staples
• Leaving it jammed for the next person

 

I have lots!

I hate it when people don't flush the toilet more then once (when necessary)to make sure everything is gone.

When my boss leaves for 3 hours every day because she is only on contract covering a Mat leave and then comes back and complains about how busy she is.  For F**k's sakes.  Of course you are busy.  You were gone for 1/2 the day.  and p.s.  I am still leaving at the normal time regardless of how much stuff you want me to complete.  Not my problem you are a time waster...ok... sorry to go on a boss rant but also when she is so happy that our office services guy does his job she gives him the afternoon off to go golfing.  SERIOUSLY??? You reward him with something other then his salary because he actually did the job he was hired for...(sorry...apparently that has been bothering me )

Brushing/flossing in our shared office. I know we're all dentists but you don't have to sit next to me flossing away. And the sound of brushing is gross to me. And it takes a lot to gross me out.

Mrs.EmmaLouise

I work in a small dental office with only five people- so everyone is clean.  Otherwise you would know who was being disgusting.

But my pet peeve is the front desk girl who is constantly on the phone with all her family.  They're always calling, and shes always calling them.  Her kids are 22, 25, and 30.  And she still does everything for them!  Makes them doctor appointments, ect.  And then she complains how busy she is..... seriously?

I guess I am very lucky that this is the worst thing I could think of.  But my old coworker who just left would sit in the basement inbetween patients and read.  When there was still plenty of work to be done.  Those instruments dont sterilize themsevles!

When people have conference calls on speakerphone.

When people brush their teeth in the bathroom.
