MemberI don’t know what it is about the grown adults I work with who just don’t know how to properly chew gum! One woman pops her gum for EIGHT hours straight. The other guy flaps his gums so hard that I can hear the juicy squeek of his saliva and gum. CLOSE YOUR MOUTH while you chew gum! He sounds like a cow chewing his cud. It makes me want to slap them.
What do your coworkers do to drive you NUTS?!
MemberI was embarssed for our country when I saw a female RCMP officer chewing gum at the Grey Cup Game. They filmed the officers waiting to escort the cup down to the field and there was a wad of gum in her open mouth. I am fairly sure that was a big No- No . It looked so unprofessional.
Member@ILoveMyKorat: the thing that drives me crazy is my coworkers leaving their dirty dishes in the sink for days! I usually have to wash things in that sink too so it’s just nasty. This isn’t your house!!
Member@ILoveMyKorat: The sound of people chewing is my biggest pet peeve and it makes me twitch sometimes, lol. I wouldn’t be ble to stand listening to a co-worker chew their gum all day.
My co-worker talks SUPER DUPER LOUD ALL THE TIME! And it drives me bonkers. I’ve even ranted about it on here before.
MemberI would NOT be able to stand that. Especially the popping. I think it’s a valid HR complaint and wouldn’t hesitate to say something.
Member@ILoveMyKorat: I am glad I am not the only person who feels this way.. I mean, I understand the occasional snap, but not constantly for HOURS… There is a girl who sits next to me that does that UGH!
MemberWhile this wasn’t the workplace, when I was in High School I sat next to this girl in one of my classes that would grind her teeth…AWAKE. It was so irritating that I had to switch my schedule because of it. Everyone could hear her through the entire room and it was some sort of nervous tick, but it was like nails on a chalkboard.
Member@ILoveMyKorat: Shit. Do we work together? *looks over shoulder*
I do it because I have a high stress job and it helps me work out some of the additional energy I have. It basically saves me from giving beat downs. Although I try really hard to chew with my mouth closed…have you ever tried to tell them that you can hear it?
@KateByDesign: EW.
MemberPersonal phone calls…allllll day long. Every once and a while is fine, but he got to 11 before nine this morning…
MemberAm I the only one who read this as “GUNS should be banned in the workplace”? lol
MemberMemberThankfully…. I don’t have to deal with this at work because that is one of those things that sends shudders through my body. I want to smack the person until they spit the gum out. I know….violent! haha….
What my coworkers do that bug me? hmmmmm…. I will have to think on that…. I guess not clean up after themselves? They will do a nail trim or shave a dog to place a catheter and then not sweep up after. That dosn’t happen very often, but it does get on my nerves. Oh! and leaving cage doors open!
MemberUgh. I deal with this. In a small 6 person organization you can hear everything. Including the woman who pops her gum all the time. >.<
Memberohhh NAIL CLIPPING
Seriously people groom yourself at home or in the bathroom. Seriously.
