Office kiss asses. We have someone that gets to the office at 6am and immediately sends out emails and slacks so it’s known they are there early.

I work with 80% women. Every time I have to go into one of their offices, they close the door and talk about someone else in the office. And a good 15-20 minute conversation too. It's getting to the point where I just stay at my desk all day.

Not an office pet peeve, but when I get cold calls and they want to set up a meeting that absolutely will not benefit our business and basically won't take no for an answer. I always politely decline and hang up while they're asking "why" for them to either, call back and keep me on the phone for 10 minutes asking the reason why I won't accept the meeting, OR call my direct supervisor which he will tell me to set up a meeting with them.

The answer is no. Plan your time better throughout the year.


You're begging for a raft of sudden sick days or employees leaving you to find other work.

The disgusting a-hole who completely destroys the toilet every day. It's a small office and the men's room has 3 toiles and one urinal. And any given day 2/3 of the toilets look like a turd exploded in all directions. Go see a doctor or clean up after yourself. Every stall has a plunger and a brush. I can't imagine what they're home toilet looks like.

Is this really a thing? I’ve never heard of that before, but I can also see it happening.

Distracting, flirtatious, and/or mouthy women.

Do you have 5 minutes? I hate it when that message pops on my chat

It is never 5 minutes. One hour into the meeting, I'm doing the other person job since they cannot code shite.

Chicks making popcorn in the kitchen at like 3:30. You can’t smell popcorn and not get hungry.

Gotdamn microwaving seafood in the break room microwave. Nothing tops it—not Hitler being your boss, not actual retards in supervisory positions, not nothing—seafood in the gotdamn microwave tops it all. Amen.

I worked in an office where "no fish in the microwave" was stated policy.

I heated up clam chowder there pretty frequently. It was tolerated, because I was good at my job.

my other favorite are the clumps of pubes that get deposited on the urinal rim daily

When I just finished discussing an issue or solution to an an issue and my new boss comes in an hour late and asked for updates.
Or when dealing with some fires that just started and he comes in an hour late and asks where we are with the issue.
or when putting out fires and he comes in an hour late and asks how was your weekend.

The person who emails you then teams you and then calls you to tell you they emailed you all in the course of a minute.

When a customer asks for unsalted fries in order to try and game the system to get fresh fries.. we don’t give a shite and often just put reg fries in the bag.


Gee thanks. My wife and I ask for unsalted because of blood pressure issues, not to game the system. So those fries some lazy bastard gave us will end up in the trash. One of the reasons I hate fast food, the employees are generally asshats.
