One year the admin next to my desk played Kenny G Christmas carols for the entire month of December.
the spanish admin is constantly on the phone speaking loud spanish
Luckily my coworker and bosses are cool as shit
Some lady a couple doors down cackles uncontrollably every hour of every day
Mentioned in a previous similar thread: Front desk girl laughs like Kendra Wilkinson all day...
The gum chewing would get to me quickly.
In general, if you share an office with people, you should take long personal conversations elsewhere. I do not understand how my officemates fail to realize this.
Luckily everyone in my current job is awesome, but in banking I really hated when people would constantly act like they were busy all the time.
Of course for analysts you did this to avoid being crushed but associates who acted like they were too busy when they were reading the news was pretty annoying.
I love the christian rock radio the lady at the desk next to me plays ALL DAY...
Love that you used 'Pikey'..those scumbags need to get annihilated

Is this way early for cleaning people to come in?

What are your pet Peeves?
We all know you are a little cracked by the fact you are attracted to 100+ hour work weeks. So what are some of the cracked obsessions that really set you off?
When people capitalize 'Peeves' inappropriately
Thanks, dick.
The little blinking red light
The fact that Ryan Gosling and/or Channing Tatum are considered hotter than me...
People chewing loudly, the guy twisting his keys around all day, the girl that asks all the time to leave early to be with her dog (WTF you just started the job?!?!). Just a few to begin with.
I hate mimes. Weird fucking people. I'd like to go all Trump on their asses and send them back to whatever rung of hell they came from.
And when you take a bite of a sandwich and all of the filling-meat, cheese, lettuce-slides out. The person who made that sandwich deserves a good old fashion Singapore style caning.
The voicemail notification. Never fucking goes away. If i see a missed call - I'll call. Why the fuck would you leave me a voicemail! Email or text if leaving a message is so fucking important, that way, yours truly doesnt have to replay a voicemail to get key information.
The incorrect use of the word comprise... I need to stop reading Strunk & White's.

Pet Peeves at Work (Originally Posted: 08/13/2011)
What are some of your work pet peeves?
Personally, I HATE when some don't wash their hands or spent literally 2 sec "washing" their hands in the restroom....just gross, you better not be shaking my hand after that.
Or when the guy next to my cube crushes those potato chips like an animal, gets on my nerves every time.
+1 to people not washing their hands.
Also when people say "please swing by when you get a chance." I'm not a fucking monkey. I will come / stop by your desk you prick.
Traders playing/singing songs on the hoot- over and over again.
+1 on this one.
My MD is swiss and the fucking guy plays the swiss national anthem on the hoot all the time. Seriously?
Also another trader on my desk loves to sing "it's the end of the world as we know it" all the fucking time, and he only knows those words. So fucking annoying.
Holy shit...y'all still have a hoot? That's kinda awesome.
Yeah, wtf is this with people not washing their hands? The best and the brightest are some dirty mother fuckers.

Bitches who say 'Wow!' and 'That's awesome!' and 'That's so cool!' after your every other sentence in a conversation. Bitches with fat asses. Bitches with fat asses who, on top of that, are loud and always bitching about something. Bitches who gather around their cubicles and gossip whispering about some stupid shit like how someone screwed up some TPS report. People who strike a conversation at the urinal. And that thing with the hands - I feel like at least half the nation does not wash properly.
This. /endthread.
i hate the use of the word "bet" to refer to our factor exposures... vol bet, momentum bet, value bet etc.. i always find the word bet gives an uncertain connotation... i prefer just referring to them as exposures
When people don't capitalize my name in emails/txts/notes.
Also cannot stand ex-sorority chicks who say "like" and "you know" all the time. It amazes me how many dumb people get banking jobs.
^^^^ cleveage ( . ) ( . )
That is how my friend
Gossipers.
I generally dislike people who don't wash their hands. At work or on campus. Piglets.
people blabbing on the phone all day making personal calls - sorry i dont need to hear that shit
