Some jackass comes in every morning and cranks the heat up to 74 degrees.
Holy phcuk it's January, there is snow on the ground, and I am sweating sitting in my office.
I hate these people that are always cold. Put on a cot dam sweater, dummy.

People who leave a mess in the break room; I'm not your mother, clean up after yourself (especially when they spill and just leave it).
Short cuts to success are often paved with lies.

Same here, the same woman every morning ramps up the thermostat, 30 minutes later I lower it again.
We also have one woman who is supposed to start at 09:00 but arrives every single day at 09:05, she doesn't report to me but if she did I would suggest a simple solution to her.....Leave 5 fekin minutes earlier!! Lack of punctuality winds me up beyond belief.Instagram - @dazlittle123

It's not a big office. We're a manufacturing site, so most of the employees are in the plant. Just Finance and Admin up front; 5 of us in total. 3 of the 5 have space heaters in their offices so it's like 80 in there all day every day; why do they need the rest of the office to be like an oven too? Pissed me off so bad I had the maintenance guy disconnect the heating duct to my office.

Monitor gazers. I hate monitor gazers.
I have banks of computers up and running and the back of my main monitors face the office door. People come in to chat and go all the way around my rather obvious blockade to stand next to me and chat. If I wanted them to see what I was doing I would've had my back and everything else to the door.
I keep my office at around 80F. Yes I know it's hot and no you're not the first person to tell me. I made it that way on purpose. F'k off if you don't like it.2 + 2 = 5 (for extremely large values of 2)

I have a constant battle for 2yrs going with the girl in my office over the same ****. She'll set the thermostat to 78 and wear a ****ing hoodie. If the AC is at 78 and you're still in a ****ing hoodie. Clearly YOU ARE THE PROBLEM. I sit in the back of the office surrounded by 5-10 computers at any given time. So when she sets that **** to 78 up front it's like 80-something back here.

I hate people who are early for meetings? I hate the whole concept. What? You don't have anything to do?! You show up to the conference room 10 minutes early to shoot the breeze and pretend that you're being productive? I like to walk in at the exact minute that the meeting starts. I was actually doing something beforehand!

People that simply forward e-mails to others without any verbiage.
We've got 2 people here that do this non-stop. I can't figure out if they need my assistance, are just making me aware, or trying to push their work onto me.
Also people that copy everyone and their brother on routine e-mails.Insta: flexjs

The Farking annoying guy across the aisle that has to talk iincessantly with everyone around me (he skips me because I have a stellar 'F You' stare). Its always about tv shows or celebrity gossip or other crap that no one cares about. Even worse is the fact that he talks loudly, has a voice that makes you want to club baby seals, and our cubes must have been made to funnel the noise to the ceiling and bounce it down to my ear so it sounds like he's right next to me. I get to hear the same F'ing conversation multiple times as he makes his rounds. Its like he sits at home every night and makes a script for the next day. If there is ever an office shooting here, he's my shield, or my target, depending on who started the rampage. (Not srs about target, no FBI's).

we had to make an agreement to keep it 75, they had it at 80. hotter then hell in there.
Also coworkers coming in late. There has to be 2 workers on site all the time so if one comes late, I am stuck standing by the door waiting.
Then they schedule their clients to be there first thing so I have to entertain their clients out front while we both wait. Its not like they learn from their mistakes either. they do this every single day.

I work at a small salon run by a Vietnamese lady while I get through school... she constantly will just come up behind me and start reading what I'm typing or looking at whatever I'm doing. She won't turn the heat on when it's cold or the ac on when it's hot because she wants to save money, so it's either 63 degrees in there or 82 degrees.

First world office problems
Guys that bring the cranes or work trucks back to the shop on empty or close to it.
everyone has a fuel card and it seems I'm the only one that knows how to use it.
And if I load the crane the night before quit taking chit off after I leave.Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude. Thomas Jefferson

My office is pretty decent but we have a staff meeting every Wednesday that all our operators attend. We have one operator that tries to finish or add on to every single sentence anyone speaks. He does it just loud enough so you can hear him doing it from across the room but you can't hear what he actually says.
It's not your beliefs that make you a better person, it's your behavior.
