This week has been extremely busy at work. It has required longer hours, long tedious listing of items and repetition of tasks. Some where along the way I've noticed some rather annoying habits of my coworkers. Now I ask you dear reader, is this annoying or is it just me?
1. Finding messages or packages on my chair......(My desk is the one in the corner that is neatly cleaned off every night before I leave, there is plenty of room on the desk and I notice anything new that's been left there so why leave it on my chair?)
2. Left over lunch dishes and coffee mugs left in the sink for days....(Come on people, clean up after yourself! )
3. The physical disappearance of "the guys" whenever hard physical work is required...(you'd swear the "Rapture" had just occurred!)
4. Failure to think ahead......(because of the physical nature of our work it requires that you think two or three steps ahead so work isn't constantly being duplicated!)
5. Eavesdropping by a coworker while you are on the phone, supplying you with details that you have already taken care of and wanting to be part of the conversation even though it doesn't involve them. (Grrrr!)
6. Inability to get a "Yes" or a "No" without lengthy explanations or too much detail.
7. "Passive Aggressive" teasing ( no he didn't just say that, did he?)
8. Spending your time cleaning up an area so your volunteers have a place to work only to find it filled the next morning with equipment .
9. Body odor and farting.
10. Over committing our limited time and resources.
Know I ask you.....am I over reacting?

Wow... You do have meaningful reasons to be annoyed at work... You are not their mother to pick up behind them..Bring a can of room spray to use around the people who fart and have body odor....LOL... Baba
I'd say you have every reason to be annoyed at your co-workers! Makes you wonder how they reached adulthood with all those bad habits! lol Hope things get better my friend. xox
Well I think that i would have to say something...outloud to these people. Hello you all share the same work space...right? How rude!! This is awful and what a post for today..you do indeed need some time off..a lot of it..Sandy
I think you are showing much restraint in an obviously egregiously annoying workplace.
