Default worst pet-peeves....

This is simply driving me insane. One of my co-workers constantly reaches down to his crotch area and pinches and wiggles...I don't know if it is a twitch or what but it is so old.

The worst part is that he is one of those guys that has to constantly make body contact when he speaks....you know, he touches your arm or shoulder....can't stand it.

We have this new girl that got a first taste of what we call the "pinch and wiggle" and I busted out laughing...her eyes got huge when he did it and when he touched her arm she almost fainted...

I have learned...as soon as he does the "P&W" I take a step or two backwards, far enough to stay out of harms' way.

toooooo much to list

I have to camp out on AOL all day because my work e-mail is an AOL address, people message me all the time "A/S/L" I want to set them on fire.

there is only 2 lanes going back and forth from FWB and Destin, 10,000 people travel that road everyday, and you get this one jackass who drives 10 under the speed limit and holds up traffic for miles. I want to set that guy on fire too.

Stupid guys who pulled up next to me at a light and stare, and stare, and stare, and stare. I pick my nose so they quit staring. I want to throw a brick at them.

My office is drama city.

It's a small company, so anything that happens eventually makes it to the surface. I've been here since April, working as an intern, and in the past 7 months, 6 people have hooked up (I wasn't one of them!!), I've heard strange noises coming out of the back photocopy room, 4 people have been fired (one of whom stalked me outside of work), 3 people have quit, and we've been sued 2 times.

Other than that, it really is a great place to work - experience wise.

You don't even know what I do here

But yes, it's a very good job. The entertainment is good enough to say the least. Sucks being the youngest though. Everyone here has 10+ years on me. Although, I swear they act as if they're still in the womb at times.
