The "sick one"...if everything hurts,is broken or needs a pill to function--I'm sorry, but I don't need to hear it every 5 seconds in random bursts of complaint.
The 'busy body'....I'm not your surrogate brain. Please think for yourself, or at least try. I don't need to stop what I am doing bc you are in meltdown mode bc you can't edit a Word document. And if you need me, ask. Don't yell my name from the other room, like a child being called for dinner.
I hate when people yell office to office instead of using phones/email/personal contact. It sounds like a hen house.
I'm glad you love your perfume, but I don't need to smell it down the hall, in the bathroom, on door knobs, 15 minutes after you leave.

They don't have enough work to do.
Actually, when I was in management, if I had a troublemaker, I really piled the work on them.
If they complained, I explained why they were getting more work than the others because they seemed to be so much more proficient than the others, getting their work done quickly so they had time to visit around the office.
After a time, that usually kept them at their desk working quietly, or else they found another job, either of which worked well for me.
God bless.

One word.
Sorry!
I'll let someone do that 3x. Then they just get the one word from then on.
That doesn't stop them from doing it. They just go to someone else.
Sorry people. Very sorry people.
God bless.

I tell them, "Would you get that for me please?"
Re the trash bag, I can't tell you how long I've let one sit right where someone else left it.
I'm no one's maid either.
In fact I told them that maids got paid more than I did, so if they wanted me to be a maid, I'd have to get a raise.
God bless.

If they're still there the next morning, I toss them in the trash.
Do not pass Go! Do not collect $200!
If they complained, I told them if it had meant that much to them, they'd have cleaned it before they went home.
God bless.

Put it in their office or workspace instead of taking it out.

Technically, that's stealing.

People who burn popcorn (especially when the burn more than one bag at a time)
People who don't grasp the concept that you take a late lunch to avoid the crowds and get a little peace and quiet. If I'm reading a book, I'm not looking for chit-chat
People who leave messes in the restroom.
People who don't flush.
People who talk on their cell phones while sitting on the toilet.
People who bring a $0.79 store brand soda to a department potluck and also bring containers to take home everyone else's leftovers for dinner.

I worked at a company that had a problem with people stealing from the fridge, and they set up a camera. It took a few days but the caught the guy. At first he denied it, when shown the tape he admitted, but just didn't seem to care, no apology. He was fired. Some people are idiots.

Ok I work for a multi-billion $ company but have to put up with....
* A woman walks around all day with her shoes off - eewww! * The woman in the cube next to me packs away so much food that she has ants... and now they are spreading
* The women in my area are so loud and yell over cube walls to each other
* No one in my area knows how turn their phones on vibrate * No one has a clue that pajama bottoms and a 76rs t shirt is not considered business causal attire
By the way we have and opening... any interest? lol

Oh yes! I make sure to flush a couple of times so the person on the other end hears.
I've also had someone come looking for me in the restroom, then carry on a business conversation while I was 'occupied'. I mean really, is it that imporatant it can't wait 5 minutes.

And we are also a company that is suppose to be business casual. But the women walk around with their walmart capris and tshirts and sneakers looking like they are going fishing. No one says a word, but if you dare wear a pair of jeans to work then you will be sent home. I dont see the difference.

1) When someone brings a bag of potato chips or Sam's choice cola 2 litre for the office "Thanksgiving Feast".
2) The person on the other side of the wall who has to "chime in" at everything you say. Why do I even bother having "Google" I can just ask him?
3) The person who cooks octopus in the microwave, yes octopus.
4) When your business upgrades the HVAC heating system in the month of January because it's cheaper then and your office is 50 degrees.
