Conference calls where people don't mute their line so you can hear them shuffling papers, typing, cell phone ringing, etc. This leads to people having to repeat everything they just said because the person being asked a question was not paying attention.

I just generally dislike when someone has me on speaker phone, mainly because they tend to stand 8 feet from their phone and speak in their normal voice and it is impossible to hear them.

What are some of your work pet peeves? I'm listening to nail clippers right now... yummy This also makes me crazy! There was a young man who used to work here and every Monday morning at 8:00 would clip his finger nails. I would sit in my office and cringe. "You had all weekend, do it at home!" is what I would mentally yell every time.

My neighbor across the hall sits at her desk crunching ice all day. I have to keep my door closed and my desk fan or heater running to drown it out.

Lack of professionalism. This isn't junior high school....it's your 'job'.

Lately, my pet peeve is when someone walks right into my office, even when I have the door closed!

Lately, my pet peeve is when someone walks right into my office, even when I have the door closed! so they have an ability to pass through walls and doors? personally, i would find this very cool, even if my door was closed. i may ask them to morph back out and then knock, but still...

My biggest peeves are tried and true, even clichéd, but still...
"But we used to..." "We've always done it this way." "But at the other bank I worked at..." "It's never been wrong before!"

The nail clippers are probably my biggest GROSS pet peeves...we even used to have a CLO that cut his TOENAILS. Now I hear it from beside me and down the hall...what the heck is WRONG with people!?! Then, there are the ones that deny EVER doing anything incorrectly. Even when you put the evidence in front of them

But I only cut a problem toenail maybe once in a blue moon if it's digging into another toe or something......

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. I'll try not to do that when you're here onsite in 2 weeks, then.

When LOs think they are Underwriters Many more are than aren't, I'd venture to say

My main pet peeve is being lied to, whether I am at work or not, although it particularly peeves me at work because they are on the payroll.
