Ever get really bugged by something you know is stupid to let bother you?
There's a woman at work who never pushes a cart or dolly - she always pulls them. Which is stupid because you're much more likely to hurt yourself that way but for some reason, it really, really annoys me every time I see her do it. Which is even stupider than what she's doing!

I don't understand at all why it bugs me so much but it does. Have you ever found yourself doing something like that? I don't want to feel alone in my idiocy. :P

Oh, well, there's something to be said for being unique. :think:

2. You're not alone.
For some reason, at work, I get really bugged when people do not do what they are supposed to or what they are asked to. I get totally bugged about it. It's probably because I hate my job and dislike working with most of the people there. I want a job that I can work at without being surrounded by so many people on a daily basis.

:hi:

3. Oh, believe me, you are not the only one!!
There is a woman at work who puts her keyboard WAY UP HIGH... and she already wears braces on both wrists. It annoys me to no end. I feel like screaming whenever I see her typing with her keyboard 5 inches too high!!

(I knew I should have saved that pulling-out-the-hair smiley that Duckie found for me!!) :D :hi:

4. Yes... also work-related.
I bugs me to no end that people do not know how to park their cars! They pull in on a diagonal, or over the white line, and thus take up two spaces. Since I have to dash between buildings, I am looking for an easy place to pull in. Instead I have to squeeze into a place that is too tight for my SUV and have to squish to get in and out of the car. :grr:

6. I have a chronic whistler at work too.
It is really annoying. When he is not whistling, he is talking. Nonstop. about the stupidest crap you can imagine. He goes on and on about the plot of some tv show he's seen, for example.

8. OMG alarimer
I've got a chronic talker at work too - one of those people who seems to be missing the gene that tells them your eyes are glazing over in absolute desperate disinterest :o

10. I use my Ipod a LOT.
Then he is only talking to himself. Rude and kind of cruel, I know, but I have stuff to do.

7. I have one co-worker who is almost disgustingly cheerful.
At least when he first started he was. always going on about how glad he was to have this job (and about how grateful I should be too. Less of that these days but he is still the biggest suckup I have ever seen and the person least likely to make decisions on his own. It's "whatever the boss wants". Even if it is unimportant thing in which we would be expected to take some initiative. Now I am pissed off thinking about how I have to deal with this tomorrow.

13. Oh yes.
I have two coworkers who treat me like I'm from mars because I'm a guy but not a sports fan, and I don't watch tv.

I shouldn't care. I certainly wouldn't want to start watching sports or brain-dead tv just to pal around with those two.

14. Guys Who Put Their Stuff Into The Locker Right Next To Mine
Even though most of the entire locker room is empty. Find an empty row of lockers and put your stuff in there! This way, we do not have to change our clothes on top of each other.

15. Mine is people who repost bulletins on MySpace
Or the ones who send bulletins that say things like repost this in 2 minutes or your left boob will fall off.

And don't even ask me how I feel about Captcha...
