17 Of The Most Irritating Things Annoying Co-workers Do
Aah. Coworkers. They can be lifesavers, confidants, the best of friends and also terribly annoying human beings if it comes down to that. If there is one thing that unites us all it is our shared loathing for annoying coworkers who, let's be honest, can make a regular, harmless workday a living nightmare. Whether it's chomping on chips with reckless abandon or talking super loud on the phone so you're painfully updated on their life's inner workings, or just the plain ol' body slam everytime you guys meet, all of us have at least once come face to face with annoying coworker behaviour.
How many of these have you faced?

2. Every single one of us knows THIS person.
I¡¯m in a Cold War with some stranger in my office bathroom over who can sit longest in a stall waiting for the other person to leave so they can finally shit. I loathe her, but dammit I respect her.

7. There's a special kind of Hell for these people.
I have a coworker who might not understand how email works because every time he sends me one he immediately gets up, walks the 15 yards from his office to mine, and says "I sent you an email." Then he tells me what the email he sent me says.
