I hate office gossip and rumor mills. I purposely try to remove myself from these conversations...but some people have this need to fill me in whether I want to hear it or not, and then if I stop them and let them know I am not interested, then I am being bitchy because I don't find it to be my place to keep tabs on everyone elses business. They also don't like it because I don't supply information on my personal life as fodder for their gossip. (unless they want to hear how awesome my cat is! )
Last week I got called away from work for a short time as my son had broken his eyeglasses in gym class and needed to run up to Lenscrafters to get them fixed. In the couple of hours that I was away the gossipers spread the word. When I got back everyone and their brother wanted to know 'How is Rich? Is he hurt? Did the lenses shatter? He didn't get glass in his eye did he? Are they going to do anything to the kid to hit him? huh? huh? huh?
If it had been serious folks, I would not have come back to work. Get a life!

It drives me nuts to work with someone who goes into great detail in everything they say. You ask them what time it is and they tell you how to build a clock.

It is not neccesary to put speakerphone volume on high and shout at the phone to have a conversation.

Don't invade my space. I don't like it when people (actually it is only one person that does it) get in my face to talk. I can hear two feet away just as well as when they are 6 inches away.
Congregating in my cubicle or hovering is not neccesary either.
The other morning there were four people standing in the opening to my cube talking. My phone rang, I had one finger stuck in my ear so I could hear the call because they were all talking over the top of each other and not using their soft voices.
After my call ended I commented on the situation and I was looked at like I had just kicked their dogs. How dare I be so rude to them!

One guy in my group is just annoying. EVERYTHING this guy does grates on our nerves in the office. He won't listen, he talks over the top of everyone, is not funny although he believes he is hilarious, he hovers- usually while eating- which brings me to people who eat like they are feeding at a trough.

I'm sure I could go on...but I spare you all my rants
