Ack, I freaking HATE it when people don't completely read an email and then respond with a question that was answered in the previous email.
amen! I sent one of my users a testing link for her to test an application and she was testing the production site. Sigh.
I'm sorry, I won't do it again. But you must realize that I have hundreds of new emails every day, right? I hate it when this one person in the office blurts out "SCUSE ME!" after every sneeze because nobody likes him/her enough to say "bless you".
Talking really loud on personal phone calls. Everyone usually leaves their office doors open when we're at work.
I love how the higher up the ladder your boss is, the more inconvenient time he/she will call for something. IE: Vice President needs something at 4:59 PM on Friday.
Kitchen. You really get to know people's true colors when it comes to the kitchen. A) The guy that thinks he's too good to wash out his coffee cup B) The guy that thinks he's too good to wash out his nasty, instant oatmeal (though he did seem to find the time to fill up the bowl with water - making it that much more nasty) C) The guy that takes the last cup of coffee and puts the pot back on the burner D) The guy that can't seem to find the time to take his **** to the kitchen, so it lingers on his desk E) The "eco" guy that thinks palmolive and cascade are horrible for the environment, so he just rinses his stuff . . . puts it back on the shelf F) The guy that puts dirty dishes in the dishwasher that just finished it's clean cycle G) The guy that spends five minutes trying to cram that last fork into the dishwasher that should have been turned on two days ago H) The guy that eats your yogurt I) The guy that thinks he'll eat his leftovers, so he leaves them in the fridge and forgets about it J) The guy that throws a hisseyfit about the office stocking coffee, but not tea - makes the office stock tea - yet still brings his own herbal essence K) The guy that is locking up and thinks it is a good idea to leave that birthday cake out over night I'm sure I could go on . . . Then there are the few people that have to deal with all of the above crap and play mother to their middle aged, i'm-more-important-than-you ass. (btw . . . I intend my use of "guy" as gender neutral)
the guy who shoots an email, calls you 30 seconds later to tell you he emailed you, then proceeds to tell you exactly what he emailed you.
Said this in the other thread, but it's the guy that walks up to my cube every day and wants to chat without any regard for the fact that he's interrupting me when I'm clearly working on something. Even if I don't turn around at first he'll just stand there behind me until I do. Ugh!
Also, the guy that strolls up to the urinal next to you and feels the need to make small talk. I'd love to talk about that project with you dude, but please wait until I don't have my junk in my hand, k thx.
I hate how they get all weird when you hook up with a few of the interns. Whats the big deal? Just live life as it was. Sheesh. They're not good for anything else anyways.

my boss has been applying too much cologne after his afternoon workout to the point he is leaving a vapor trail of fumes and smell all around the work space. you know when he is in the vicinity and then it takes five minutes to recover after he leaves. he must be immune to it considering he is swimming in it. it's kind of funny, though. two days in a row now. my other pet peeve about IT in general is obviously sometimes the seating arrangements move around and people come/go. it's basically being placed by the real nerdy guy who talks strictly in nerd speak. that just drives me up the wall cause you cannot have a regular conversation with a person like that. they tend to use fancy and obscure words out of the dictionary combined with highly technical IT speak. it literally leaves you exhausted just listening to it. fortunately, those types are rare and transitory (move to the next best job after they get bored shortly with the technology and/or how things work at that particular company).
People who bother you during your lunch hour for something that isn't urgent. If you see a sandwich in my hand, please don't come into my office and bother me.
when people complain too much at work. also, when that same person complains about other co-workers complaining. you're there to make money so shut up!
