Work experience kid slurps his drink every time he takes a sip!
I didn't notice it until a colleague pointed it out. Now it drives me mental. He seems to get a drink every 10 minutes as well!

so i was working on my shit the other day, listening to my U2 album, tapping along, munching on a bag of crisps and my favorite soup, minding my own business. Then i choked a bit and had to clear my throat, and this douche bag co-worker rolls right up into my shit and goes "you want a coughdrop? I can't listen to you coughing all day". i mean WTF?
so i went and farted into his junk drawer when he went out for his lunch

The sound of an apple being eaten. Drives me batty.
I should say - I don't think it's unreasonable to eat an apple, or eat in general. It's just the sound of it is akin to the sound of someone clipping their nails. (Which I also can't stand).

"great thanks mate, now could you just change the following things that I couldn't be bothered to think of the first time round:.."
"great thanks mate, now the text looks a little small could you make it stand out more?"
"great thanks mate, the text still blends into the background could you make it the same as the header?"
"great thanks mate could you just turn that and into a & sign"
"great thanks. Have you managed to do that other thing that needed finishing an hour ago?"
NO YOU FUCKING LITTLE SHIT BECAUSE I'VE SPENT THE AFTERNOON SPOONFEEDING YOUR SLIMY LITTLE FACE ONE GRAIN OF RICE AT A TIME EVEN AFTER I SPECIFICALLY TOLD YOU TO DOUBLE CHECK YOUR BRIEF BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT 10 TIMES AGAIN!!!!

When someone ask me "I have a file here that makes 257 k - b, how big can you print it? Can you make a poster? We need posters."
- benfal990
When someone ask you to make a poster and all the logos and images attached to his email are super small images from websites. And then you need to try to explain and make him understand that you need big images to do print stuff...

friend started stopping in to visit at the office - then visits became more frequent - then started bringing in a laptop... now having to ask him find a new place to work before he starts having client meetings and asking me to leave

When a PM submits a request, don't lie about the reason why. Specially when its obvious. ie. "I know you are assigned to this other high priority thing, but can you do this for me really quick? I ran out of time." Let's see, you had me update all the sites in QA for this request, then update all the sites in production, then remove the update in QA... Now you want me to removed the update from all of the production sites... Funny, are you sure you ran out of time?

I tend to talk to my PMs or co-workers when I get frustrated with them.
1. When people put on the same crap every day on the office stereo then skip your tracks when they come on.
2. It frustrates me when someone sits beside me giving instructions over the shoulder, alsow when they get too close and they have been smoking and drinking coffee all day... I keep mints on my desk and offer one when that happens.
3. Men who can't pee in the bowl, seriously we are all adults.. if you can't aim. SIT DOWN.
4. Reciprocation of the tea run... people who take but don't make.

I'm that guy that types on his keyboard like i'm trying to destroy it. but only when i'm mad. I also curse from time to time and grunt and groan but thats because things around me are not correct or something to that effect.
On my end, i pretty much hate designers that can't think through problems with their own design when the actual coding happens. Just make the concession and lets move on. k bye.

oh yea and project managers stepping over boundries doing other peoples jobs while simultaneously trying to crack a whip on your ass.
higher ups that don't know diddly squat but got where they are because their boy who was already planted firmly brings them in.
Politics in general.
There should be a tv show called "office politics".
- Maybe in a mockymentary style.

The worst is when some douchebag starts "drumming" on his desk along with the office's music.
Yes, Mr. D-Bag, we get it, you know this song too.
