Not appreciating my intestinal gasses, that I go though great effort to share, for the masterpieces they are.

Meetings / phone calls that should be emails instead.
I swear there are people where I work that get paid per meeting.
It’s like people believe they’re accomplishing something by having a 30 minute Teams call with ten people and talking about crap that could have been an email exchange between three of those people.

The other day, a coworker (girl) sitting next to me was on her headphones listening to music. She farted but she did not know if her fart made noise b/c of her headphones. She kept looking at me to see if I reacted. Gross but funny.

Coming to work sick. Keep you coughing/sneezing/snorting at home.
I agree, but management fuels this behavior by verbally telling everyone to stay home if you're sick, but then shits all over you for actually using your sick time.
Not technically an "in office" pet peeve, but I fully believe people who don't put their full contact information in their email signature should face jail time.

The whistler! We have a guy that I don't think he even realizes he's whistling while walking in the hall to go get his coffee. He's gonna get tackled one day because we have asked him to stop several times.

People who waste the first hour or so of the day standing around talking then complain about how busy they are and aren’t able to finish tasks in a timely manner.

headphones listening to music
One ear at your desk is completely acceptable. Both ears at your desk is unacceptable.
Walking around the office with an AirPod in your ear is peak irritation and is rude.

Everything.
Work sucks.

Coffe cup slurping and the rat-a-tat pencil drummer.

Get a plastic spoon. I don't want to hear all that clanging to stir in your 3 spoons of sugar, fatty.

I hope you looked her in the eye while holding your nose. These opportunities are rare.

My friend has to attend weekly meetings to discuss the “feels”, team building, and brag about diversity, if any. Oh, and read books to discuss. She despises this, but is paid well. Interestingly, the company would surprise you bc it isn’t a people-oriented business, per se.

I don’t go into the office itself all that much now that I have a nice setup at home, but when I do, I always have to empty the damn sink that’s filled with dirty dishes. There’s a dishwasher right next to it that I load and run. Then next time I decide to go to the office, there dishwasher is still sitting there filled with the clean dishes I ran. And the sink is filled with new dirty dishes.
I don’t understand who exactly these people think is coming behind them and doing the dishes. It’s frustrating. But I need the sink at times, and I don’t want to maneuver around their rotting dishes.

Are the same ones that will start a conversation with you as they are walking into your office without making sure you have time to have that conversation.

Leaving the microwave on some random amount of time left that the next person has to clear out before using.

It’s called a “cattle call.” We have those, too.

Yeah, we are actually a fully remote company with all of my coworkers in other states. We rent a private office located within a coworking building. The shite I deal with isn't even coming from my own coworkers.
It's just the shared spaces - kitchen, lobby, etc.
