My pet hate is people who no matter how many times you give them the same information they do not write it down or make a note of it... they come back time after time asking for the same information !!!!!!

paranoid people who are always thinking that you are a threat to their position ( as if their on the management level already) and of course shouting, cursing in the office, very unprofessional.

Those people who just look here and there when I am giving an important insrtuction and then come back to me with the same mistake against which I had warned them a hundred times.

Are you nuts?......no doubt I am crazy about you!

My one RIGHT NOW is a customer on the phone! He's really cheeky and petty. Not amused. Why are people so rude?

- People putting on their speaker phones to full volume ...

- People coming to the meetings without reading the agenda and starting from the begining of the issue under discussion irrespective of which stage we are in...wasting everyones time...

our office is open plan... I sit on the opposite end to the bathroom.. but the throat clearing can be heard as close as if he was next to me.... makes me so ill...

and the loud talking.. my word... keep your voices down - don't need the whole world to hear you...

"if you don't like the heat... get out of the kitchen... but stop trying to fan the flames before you leave... it will burn you on the a** as you go through the doorway...." ME

Mine is the dolt who comes in early to print out 400 copies on the printer that's right outside my office, when I get in early for the peace and quiet!

Now that's an office outta hell haha. My condolences.

Mine was the radio. In the States while I worked it was kinda cool, NPR was always on. But back home it was total terror, until I got a job in a proper company that gave me server space for my mp3's and a pair of headphones :D

Answering the phone or making calls while you are in a meeting with other people sitting around the table is really exasperating....

lol Pajju, don't you dare... well, it is annoying and inconsiderate.. i can understand if they're in a market or somewhere crowdy and couldn't hear the conversation very well, but they're in an office for crying out loud.. where i work, most of the time, i am by myself coz all others are in their offices so most of the time i have peace and quiet and i prefer it to stay that way..

As long as they are doing their job, I don't hate anyone. I hate people though who like to shirk their responsibility and try to put the blame on someone else if anything goes wrong.
