Default office pet peeves, v1.0

what annoys you in the office environment?

for me, i hate when someone keeps calling a coworker that is obviously not at their desk.

i.e.
- phone rings 20 times, before it finally stops (voicemail).
- within 3 seconds the phone starts ringing again, same thing.
- within 3 seconds after that, the worker is paged on the intercom to call ext. whatever.
- within 3 seconds after that, the phone starts ringing AGAIN.

JESUS! they're not at their freakin' desk! LEAVE VOICEMAIL!

when co-workers talk ... and talk ... and talk about unrelated work things.

It's one thing to have a converstion about your weekend ...it's another to sit there for 45 minutes and have a conversation about your weekend.

when your co-worker cant retain information you tell them like 50000000000000000 times. And yes I have emailed them instructions.
I've gone as far as printing it and scotch taping it to the wall.

but nooooo.....I still get called on my DAY OFF!!!!!!

Ever squat and have diaherrea, and then have diaherra water splash all over your back onto your white shirt? And then some homeless guy found it and it ate it? :hsugh:

Yeah me neither.
