What are some of your work pet peeves? I'm listening to nail clippers right now... yummy

toe nail biters...............though I'm more impressed than peeved

Phone calls taken/made on speaker phone when combined with open office doors

People using "I seen" instead of "I saw"

Discussion of very personal issues in the work area (I work almost entirely with women, and they are pretty open about things)

Dropped phone calls so when I pick it up I have no idea who it is or what they are calling about. Also, someone internal calling you on speaker and not announcing that they have a room full of people with them while they carry on the conversation!

that the bank doesn't recognize my importance and pay me $5,000,000 per year...

Pets belong at home not at work

ed - you have pets at work?

no-

Sorry my mistake Work Pets would belong at work but I guess you can take them home on weekends so you can feed them (if there are any work pets)

I have my pets at work everyday. The cat knocking things off my desk and the dog snoring loudly while I am on conference calls are the only peeves I have with them.

who bites their toe nails? I hope that is a joke! how about coworkers that use the word 'like' after every other word? or use profanity in the backroom even though customers can hear it up front? If only being a tattle was a good thing...

or when people ask employees when their baby is due when they aren't pregnant!!!

the infamous "you know" at the end of nearly every sentence. if we knew, then we wouldn't need to be having this conversation.

"um, um, um"

we did a bring your pet to work day once...janitorial staff were not pleased with the results, don't think we'll be engaging in this fiasco again. still can't figure out how anyone thought this was a good idea

ooh yes we have an um um gal. we have a customer that loves to leave us interesting letters and very interesting drawings to go along with them!

well, um, like, you know, that really flexible person

yikes....I don't know if I could handle seeing something like that at work

Euphegenia, you need to acquaint yourself with Peepers. Take everything he says with the grains of sand you'd find at your local beach. Or i guess i should say.....the grains of salt you'd find at the Morton's salt company.

You are excluding the women an pie baking thing?

apparently I am missing something!

Just that Peepers is rarely serious. And "rarely" is pretty much an overstatement.

My work pet peeve: when a processor is desperate to have me review her loan because "the closing is in an hour"......but when i need to ask her about something related to this loan that so desperately needs to close, i get no answer on their work phone.

Ah, got it. must not be that urgent then!!

So today my dog was napping in my office, as she often does, while I was on a conference call. She proceeded to break wind which woke her up and turned my office into a gas chamber. She then began scratching at the door wanting out of the office, I am assuming because of the smell. I guess that would be my work pet peeve today.
