lol, that is pure comedy fotze! I worked in an office environment for just about 3 years, and the one thing that drove me crazy was whistlers and hummers... just STFU already!! Can't believe no one mentioned that one yet actually.

Sandwich platters are actually good.
Free grub? Works for me. Makes a turd -- can't complain.
It's when it gets passed down the line six hours old...

If you let it be known that you have a keen interest in target shooting they usually leave you alone.

Being a number irritates me. I want to work someplace where everyone knows everyone else and I'm not just a number to the people who can hire or fire me.

people who go through take your things
people who leave a bunch of rap on your desk without telling you what they are for
people who claim to be doing all the work, but really just bitch and moan all day

I use this quote as my own 
I work in a small office with two desks and 4 cubicles. Some people have no second thoughts about going into my desk to find something they want 
And those that leave paperwork on my desk... there's a mail cabinet!! There's a room who's sole purpose is for the exchange of paperwork.
Not so much on the third one, just people who bitch and moan all day and don't do any work.

People who don't wash their hands after using the pisser.....I know it happens all over the place, but if I see people in the office doing it, I know they are touching door handles and computers that I use. If someone does it at a bar, I have no idea where or what he is touching.
I work at a radio station and I have to screen phone calls, but because we are a sports station, people call in at stupid times asking me questions that are so obscure, its not even funny. Or the callers asking me to look up scores for them because they are degenarate gamblers...."Uh, can I have the score of Auburn/Boise State game?? Ok thanks, how bout the Utah St/Eastern Washington game?? DId I get the over??".......so frustrating....
Oh, and the people that call in to complain about Jim Rome if he's ever pre-empted..... I DONT MAKE THAT DECISION DUDE....TAKE IT OUT ON RADIO, BUT LEAVE ME ALONE!!!"

My peeves... people who request you for your help with something, but provide the most incomplete instructions. You know, if you want the results to be good, give me some proper background. I HATE, HATE HATE chasing people down for more information when I really shouldn't be.
People who chomp and slurp their lunch in their cubicle. Yeah, it's your area, but you sit in a shared area. Where's your manners?
People who interrupt others in meetings... and related to this, people who correct others' words while talking. Again, where's your manners?

People (non exec team) who call my cell on the weekend to help with a home computer problem. I am obligated to answer the phone since the company pays for it but I am not obligated to fix your POS computer you just bought from Bb or Fs. Its very likely you get paid more than I do so you can take it back and pay them $50 to install RAM or whatever.
HP Warranty repairs.
Telus network HelpDesk - we have over 70 MPLS lines accross western Canada with our company, and no I dont know the damn number of the CCt in Grand Prairie becuase when you upgraded the line no one sent me the updated numbers, can you just not look it up by address.
People in external locations who give sales people my direct work number and or email address.
Paper/Toner/Contract etc sales people - my job is handling layer 2 server issues and layer 3 network issues, not purchasing god damn toner so piss off.
The building I work in when they turn off the water for Stampede weekend and no one informs us so I have to go in on the weekend after everything shuts down because the air conditioner died and go to Home Depot and buy some industrial fans to cool the room down.
PS - I am a loud talker but I have an office with a door

I hate carrying on conversations in the bathroom, especially with the guy using the urinal beside me. As a general rule, I don't like to talk when I'm holding my own junk.

Overuse of the Air Conditioner!!!! The thing is running when its 18-20C in the office! Wearing a sweater in the office while its 37C outside just doesn't feel right.
Besides that I enjoy my workplace... if there ever were a perfect office I may have found it.
