There are so many I can relate to from my past job. The guy stomping his feet reminds me of a girl who used to wear heels and tap her feet to music all the time. Occasionally she had to do cold calling campaigns for clients, and she would put the phone on speaker, dial the number, wait for the ringing, and only pick up the phone once someone answered. Do that on repeat, while she taps her long as nails on the desk, with the same bloody script "Hiiiiii, this is so and so calling on behalf of ShitCorp, I am calling to offer you...", for about 5 hours while you are trying to debug and tweak web code.... UGHHHH
Where I am now I have fairly few annoyances. It's hard to believe because I am easily bothered. People seem to keep to themselves for the most part and listen to music on headphones (no one wants to hear your shitty music outloud).
Only annoying thing is there is a lot of meetings that take time away from doing actual work. And when its a big meeting, we meet to discuss what we are going to present, and then meet again to prep for the meeting, and when said meeting gets pushed out by a day, PM's try to raise the expectations to utilize the additional day we had to prep for the meeting by of course, booking a second meeting prep meeting. UGH.
- Ultimately I am just thrilled that we don't have an office dog.NegativeSpace
