Why, oh why can't you put the spoon you have just used *in* the sink (or better still actually wash it) rather than leave it right next to the sink leaving a coffee stain on the work surface.
FFS.
Not just you.
Also the tap in the kitchen at work has a pull out nozzle which never ever gets push back into the tap so it always looks broken!
Maybe i do have OCD after all 🙂
sniffers /thread
Consider yourself lucky Johndoh I have to put up with that same situation at home... perhaps the passive aggressive "loud tidying" will eventually get the message across.
a carrier bag of raw chicken and liver has just been pulled out the back of the fridge at work.
It's rotting and dripping everywhere.
The student placement who put it there will be strung up for this as he's a vile and disgusting little git
Working.
Girl I used to work with would quickly "clap" her hands together a few times (as if removing all crumbs/flour) every time she'd taken a bite of her sandwich and placed it back down.
This becomes something akin to chinese water torture when you're trying to work while she is eating 🙂
I think eating at your desk should be banned in general.
Theres a new Gareth Cheeseman type sales bloke in our office who puts on a ridiculous false laugh when on the phone to clients. So he sounds like Father Barty Dunne, the Laughing Priest
I'm already spending my days thinking of Utopia-inspired grimly violent torture scenes for his premature and imminent death
Eating at your desk (opposite me) with your mouth open.
STOP IT.
Edit:

The geezer does this also.
Microwaving huge quantities of steamed green veg and making the whole floor smell like someone has sharted.
Bloke opposite me listens to music all day. No problem with that at all, except every five minutes he insists on singing a random lyric with my name inserted somewhere. It's literally impossible to concentrate on anything, even STW.
Microwaving Fish
Rubbish in the compost
Not using the bog brush
Not even flushing
Picking nose and wiping it on cubicle walls
Whistling, whilst listening to music via earphones.
Last week was Christmas carols!
we have the fat hoover bastard, if any food is placed in the office he will appear and just scoff the lot. Allegedly a diabetic he will eat anything, last week there was a buffet and some of the left overs were brought in, he at an entire pack of kettle chips and a pot of dip in about 15 minutes. People are actually hiding stuff from him these days.
lyric with [b]my name[/b] inserted somewhere
Be afraid, very afraid.
I'm thinking that's not the only insertion he wants to do.
The loudest bloke in the office complaining very loudly that other people are too loud.
The ability to talk a glass eye shut.. Why explain something in 1 minute when you can do it in 20 minutes. FFS
Nothing like a sweltering day to make even being talked to a struggle not to punch someone in the face...
Women. Air-con.
girls in the lab moaning at me for being messy, ****s the lot of them lol
One colleague constantly taps his feet and bobs about. Another has just devoured a plate of pilchards on toast. Roll on home time.

This thread isn't for you. It's about you.
I don't like it when they breathe.
Ya, the fatty sitting beside me has the tendency to:
1. Tell me he is having sandwiches of different kinds. Then hoover up his launch at work desk so quickly I thought he would choke sometimes. i.e. sometimes he eats so fast he would cough then he would quickly down nearly half a bottle of drink to dislodge the food. If he chokes in future I will just sit there and watch see him turn blue.
2. Then proceed to munching a pack of crisp loudly.
3. Then to complain about others' noise while he speaks loudly.
Another one has the tendency to speak on her mobile loudly to demonstrate her importance ...
🙄
Loudly eating fruit - take a bite of apple, then slurp, no, actually suck, the thing to get any juice off the newly bitten section. Crunch, slurp, crunch, slurp, crunch, slurp...
The days he brings nectarines instead of apples are the days I do as many "away from my desk" tasks as possible.
Recently, staying at shithole hotels and telling everyone how much money he's saving the company. Thankfully the new president thinks he's a tit for that, but at some point i'm sure we're going to hotel allowance cut. Moron.
belching, farting, picking nose.......oh wait! 😳
In our old office I got so sick and tired of people not washing up after themselves (then loudly moaning there were no clean plates etc or sink was full etc) that I just binned the lot.
Caused abit of fuss but it meant people brought in their own treasured plates and bowls.......and they washed those/didn't want to share them.

A lady who I used to work with used to put her wet cycling gear (including lycra shorts) onto an electric radiator by her desk to dry them out after a wet commute.
I never ever want to be put through that set of smells ever ever ever again.
Ever.
Untidy kitchens and toilets annoy me. But, I think I'm probably high on peoples list as annoying though. Some of my traits;
Eating at my desk
Eating 3 to 4 meals at work (and using too much fridge space)
Sometimes fish or liver (not at my desk though)
Walking around bare foot
Farting (not at my desk but it sometimes follows me back)

You know what Hora? Occasionally.... very occasionally... your weird and incomprehensible world view comes up with something closely resembling genius.
The guy I'm working with today calls everyone 'mate' even women. It gets annoying. He also cant touch type and hits the keys with his forefingers really loudly, especially space bar. In fact he's doing it right now. Does everyone's head in. He gets very stressed out very easily and loves doing as much work as possible when he could just be having a nice relaxing steady day instead.
Fish should be banned from work microwaves. If someone's cooking it in ours you can usually smell it halfway down the corridor through two closed doors and a set of stairs.
Working at home on my own I have to make my own irritation.
I've been stopping myself making a cup of tea for the last half an hour.
Deleted, on reflection.
Women with large chesticles stretching their arms up and behind their head.
They know what they're doing. Bastards.
Binners it caused abit of a fuss but I was sick of it. Someone used to even streak food up the white wall by the bins and down the sides of kitchen units. We only had a cleaner in once a week but (I know) these folk thought 'cleaning' was beneath them and in no way in their job description.
Another irritation (I suppose this is universal) - when someone talks about their life non-stop, what they did etc in minute detail and their interactions with their friends etc.
No one is that interesting. I bet even Brad Pitt would come across as a dullard if all he did was talk and moan about agents, his lunch, his girlfriend, where he went last night, what time he got out of a taxi, what time he sat down at (name) restaurant, what he ordered... zzzzz
When you ask a colleague what they did at the weekend you expect a 'hey we did this' (in a snapshot). Not a critical path spanning 10minutes.
I think someone's hacked Hora's account; that post makes too much sense.
Another has just devoured a plate of pilchards on toast
one colleague used to buy cheese and raw onion sarnies, pick out all of the raw onion, and dispose of that in the clingfilm in someone else's bin 😉
used to really annoy the secretary, when she couldn't work out who was the culprit for making the smell in that corridor.
Another has just devoured a plate of pilchards on toast
We had one- She used to eat sat at her desk and put (half eaten) plastic microwave containers into bin next to the desk...... Then wonder WONDER why there are countless little flies in the office.
There is a woman here who insists on telling everybody how busy she is, for at least an hour each day, at the top of her voice...
There was also a very good looking blonde lady who used to deal with contractor employment and when she wanted to discuss rates or something we were not to hear, she would go around a corner (about 2 metres from her desk) and talk really loudly. I am sure she thought if she couldn't see us then we couldn't hear her 🙄
One guy who when they eat has to put as much in their mouth as possible each bite,why!!?
Also when they're holding the sandwich in two hands they still have to move their head towards it rather than move the sandwich to their mouths,wtf! And then make sucking noises like its trying to escape.
Most days I have to time my own lunches away from the desk to avoid it all, else I'd go mad.
Thankfully the guy who had breakfasts at a desk nearby and sucked his fingers, left.
Misophonia is a condition in which you are easily annoyed or angered by little sounds. Such as your coworker who eats or breathes too loudly.
Seems a few of us have this
Annoying habits of colleagues...
...not being able to find their arse with both hands. Out of their depth in a car park puddle. Delusions of mediocrity. Depriving a village of an idiot.
You get the picture.
I hate the way the MRI won't stop BUZZING.
