Are these Top 10 annoying office habits?
Overbearing,
obsessively rude, noisy, and opinionated – there are so many things that can be
found annoying in that one person in office. So, what actually are some of the
‘universally’ bad behaviors for office work? Here's a look at the top 10
annoying office habits...
1. Office drummers - There are lesser annoying office habits than the
person who has to tap out a rhythm while waiting for their brain to submerge
into the work they’re assigned.
2. Foghorn phone voice - The breed of office worker who raises their
tone several decibels as soon as they pick up the phone.
3. Pod pong - Well, these are those people who marinate themselves in perfumes
overnight.
4. Key smashers - All offices have at least one person who appears to
think that to make the little symbols on their keyboard appear on the screen,
they need to exert the force of an atomic bomb through the ends of their
digits.
5. Paid for nothing - In this case, an employee gets paid for standing
out in the sunshine chatting to wheezy and addicted mates while the
fresh-lunged members of the workforce are indoors putting their mind to work.
6. Snot funny - What is it with people, who riddled with pleurisy, the
bubonic plague or cancer of the entire body, still think it's a good idea to
come in to work? The world really won't stop if that report doesn't get
finished and the boss more likely regards you as a mug than a martyr. Your work
mates, of course, will shower you with love for ruining their plans for the
weekend and keeping their kids out of school.
7. Lucifer's lunch - Egg and mayonnaise sandwiches, tuna fishcakes, blue
cheese with crackers, breakfast burritos with extra onion and chips with salt
and vinegar – all food items which should be banned from the workplace, thanks
to their smell.
8. Ringtone hell - This section includes all those people who play bits
of their favourite heavy metal music collection from a speaker on their desk,
via their mobile phone.
9. Space invaders - You distinctly remember hearing the boss bring your
new work mate over to his or her work area and say, "This is your
desk". The boss did not follow that up with the words, "but feel free
to use your colleague's desk for overspill if there's not enough room for your
inane gossip magazines and pictures of your 17 children".
10. Eau de underarm - There are fewer things more noxious than a
damp-shirted male who, after working up a sweat running for the bus, is left to
"mature" over a keyboard for eight hours.
