Things That Annoy Your Co-Workers

What to avoid doing if you want to get along with your new fellow workers, and what your co-workers do that annoy you:



  • Talking about themselves


  • Answering cell phones during meetings


  • Text messaging during work


  • Playing games at work


  • Acting superior


  • Hammering on their keyboard keys


  • Using unprofessional language


  • Doing bills at the office


  • Not following the dress code


  • Acting unethically


  • Eating with their mouth open


  • Leaving the copier or printer out of paper


  • Sleeping or dozing off


  • Talking on the phone casually to friends or family


  • Talk loudly while on the phone if it’s a business call so they ALL know you’re working.


  • Hum songs like ‘Mary had a little lamb’ until they subconsciously pick it up and start humming too.


  • Send them memos every hour to keep them posted on what you’re doing, or what they should be doing.


  • Replace all their pens with empty or leaking pens.


  • Spike the coffee with salt, and mix in some salt in with the sugar.


  • Type as loudly as you can and sigh loudly when you need to use the backspace key.


  • Lose their expense forms or repeatedly make errors on their expenses/pay.


  • Mimic them whenever they say anything.


  • Leave plastic figurines, dolls, and action figures on their desk when they’re not looking.


  • Have really stinky food for lunch.


  • Think up new forms for them to complete and revise them each week.


  • Bringing their kids to work.


  • Always talking about their kids.


  • Passing off work to other workers.


  • Showing up consistently late.


  • Saying how they don’t get paid enough when they are the highest paid employee there.
