How about people who get something like chili or soup that is gooey and sticky, put it in the microwave, set the timer for and hour and a half so it spatters crap EVERYWHERE and then just leave the disgusting mess.

(Yes, I know The Office covered this but it happens all the time!)

Only if it's audible, or results in clippings flying across the room.


Two new ones I just discovered:
When urinals are seperated by a divider (from shoulder/chest to knee height), people who
- rest their arm on the divider, or
- spread their feet so wide that the foot extends beyond the divider.

You're invading my space!

I wish you could hear the fat b*tch upstairs walking back and forth, back and forth up and down the hall. The constant clomp clomp clomp is going to make me go postal. She's not my employee, or I would have fired her ass long ago.

When ever I see a spent roll of TP, I wonder if the person ever finished wiping their cinnamon ring.

Left hand lane drivers,
Talking on cell and or Texting while driving
People's kids
Adults that can't take care of their own shit.

this one is big. taking personal calls at work, in an environment when everyone around you can hear you talking. seriously i don't need to hear your life story as told to your buddy or your mom or whatever while i'm trying to work.

if i have to take a personal call, and its actually going to last more than 30 seconds, i take it to the hallway or outside.

About 20 years ago in the office cubicle landscape, there was this rather famboyant guy who was really annoying.
The worst was the day he discovered that he could make his keyboard make some monkey "eeek" sound when he touched each key.
This was combined with his IM on and making some other sound when messages were received and sent which was constant, and to top it off, he'd wear headphones and hum real loud some Flock-of-Seagulls crap. This cacophany was so bad, I finally flipped. I stood up to say something over the cubicle with my coffee in my hand, and the cup snagged on the top of the panel, dumping into the back of his monitor, which sparked and let off a wiff of ozone. I laughed and sat back down.

I guess no one else got this, but it was hilarious!
