Aibu to ask for your pet peeve at work

[Whisperingwinds]

What’s the one thing that your colleagues do that drive you up the wall - emails without subject lines does it for me.

This is therapeutic!

*The ridiculously highly-strung woman who only ever goes on about her work, how important it is and how only she can do it right. (Not true) I avoid being in the office alone with her as much as I can as I just cannot stand her.
*The person who always get in 15-20 mins late even though they live close by
*People who have pasta for lunch and just leave it all in the sink for someone else to clean up
*People who sneak in to the kitchen behind you whilst you're in there and don't even say hello/acknowledge you
*People who openly steal other people's milk/food. Why?!!!

Whistling .... in an open plan office

@babyblade whistling! Should be an immediate sacking. So annoying!

I hate read receipts on emails. I'll reply if I've read it, dickhead

A colleague is going through a disciplinary at the moment and isn't allowed to discuss it with colleagues, however they do and it's stressing me out.

Salesmen.

The manager who demands we send things to her for approval but takes months to approve things. I'm still waiting on approval for something I sent to her in October but I'm not allowed to approve it myself.

Eats louder than a fucking toothless dog at his desk which is opposite mine......

Both stock trolleys being left upstairs when everybody knows full well that we need one downstairs for bringing in the delivery every single morning. Bonus points if the lift hasn't been cleared so I have to empty that before I can move the trolley back downstairs.

Anyone who says

“By the close of play tomorrow”

Back at work today and adding to my list - People who ask “can I grab you row a quick meeting later today?” And then send you an invite for an hour for something that could be handled over email :(

People who prefer to moan rather than do. I've lost count of the amount of times I've been to see a colleague about and issue (IT ish related) and they've spent half an hour moaning about the problem/why is it we have to do this/I don't have time to deal with this/it's all too complicated. The actual fix...5 minutes max.

Added to this, those who sign up for training and don't turn up.

Inability to use a bloody toilet brush!
How can a grown woman not know how they work?

slug I agree. I used to have a colleague who would walk around every day going to different departments and areas telling everyone how incredibly busy and stressed she was. If she cut that out and actually did the job that would be the end of it.

Lateness and people who think I'm a mind reader.

The arsehat from marketing who wanders out into the main office whenever he’s bored and who without fail every day goes ‘still vegan noidea?’
‘Yes Steve, still a prick? I see you are,’
He also puts on an odd accent when he speaks to the polish and Russian worker we have.

Also the office busy body. Who forever wants to know updates about DS’ deafness

OH and people who infer I’m never there because I work from Home two days a week and don’t work Thursdays

Constant lateness. A colleague is late every day without fail, often strolling in at 9.10, perhaps 9.20ish when we start at 9. She always has some BS excuse too, the other day was 'I spent too long in the shower' no one ever picks her up on it though.
Laziness is a huge pet peeve of mine, especially when work is incredibly busy yet some people sit about chatting away about everything and nothing & you're running about trying to get everything done.
People who leave their dirty mugs and plates in the staff kitchen for someone else to wash up. One girl I work with leaves her used teabags on the side, the bin is right next to it.
Feels very therapeutic to write this.

Copying in my Manager, my Managers Manager and all and sundry when you want an escalation.

They are all going to refer back to me because I make the priorities for resource for my region you idiots. What is not clear about that to you.

Don't get me started on WFH. I could rant for pages. You want to work my hours? Sure. Please go fucking right ahead and then tell me you're happy to be in the office an hour away from 7am and stay until gone 9pm. Fuck off. I have a life to try and fit around this job.

Not me but my family member has a colleague who puts her 'work slippers' in the communal fridge because the cold is better for her feet.

A manager at work is a lovely lady and friend but I spent 10 minutes on the phone today telling her how to copy and paste something into Word - I mean FFS!!

Being bloody ignorant

The reverse of reply all. When I email X with Y on cc asking X to email Y with info, then X only emailing me
