What Peeves you at work?

LOL! Just found this thread!

I am currently starting my own business because I've HAD it with crummy bosses and coworkers.

Short to the point problems at my old company:
*A coworker that was so inept at his job that he would ask the "girls" in the office to do everything and called them "sunshine" while he asked. They all swooned and did it. This same guy lost weight on the Atkins diet, and for some reason thought I'd be interested in seeing his new physique... we were in the car returning from a client visit and he tooks his shirt off! All I remember is seeing bare skin and being repulsed! Nobody in the office did anything to repremand him over the incident. when he e-mailed another woman in the office sexually explicit photos, all he had to do was appologise. both she and I were the only ones to bring sexual harassment claims against him and within a month, we were both layed off due to "slow business" yeah right.
* A boss that made fun of my wardorbe - which I always responded "You're free to take me shopping and pay for new clothes" and made fun of my hair, and my weight
* A coworker that cursed "F this and F that" every day at least a dozen times at top volume over his side of the cubical. He had the worst attitdue of anyone I've ever met, yet was making more than double my salary doing the SAME JOB!


I now work for myself because my last job experience was so bad that I never ever want to work for anybod else. Luckily I can do this because of what I do... many of you aren't so lucky.

Right now my biggest work complaint is hubby and the kids think that since I'm home all the time that I can do ANYTHING for them. Like this morning I had to drop everything to drive my daughter to school. I drove around for over 3 hours yesterday doing a project for my husband. Luckily, I CAN make the work up at night (which is my most productive time period anyway) Oh, and the kids don't know how to properly answer the phone, despite being teenagers and having learned a long time ago the right way. I'll have a client call and they are answering the phones like rude animals. My son hung up on a client once because he thought it was a crank call!
