Irritating office yambags
What the hell are some people thinking? My current office is all of 5 people, yet two of those people do some of the most irritating [censored] I have every had to listen to.
Every day, one guy has a yogurt around 10:00. Not just any yogurt, though. A 'fruit-on-the-bottom' yogurt. His ritual goes something like this: Open yogurt. Begin mixing yogurt.....glop-glop-glop-glop-glop-glop-glop-glop-glop-glop-glop- glop-glop-glop-glop-glop-glop-glop-glop-glop-glop-glop-glop-glop- glop-glop-glop.......at least 30-40 times. After eating said yogurt, he CLIPS HIS FINGERNAILS AT HIS DESK. *clip*.....*clip-clip*...*clip*....*clip*....*clip*.... The other guy has only been here a couple/few weeks, but he's wasting little time making a run for most irritating officemate. He's a loud drinker/eater. Hot coffee in the morning: Sluuuuuuuurp. Loud swallow. Loud exhale of 'ahhhhhhh'. Every flipping sip. Any food whatsoever: Mouth open, smacking, audible swallowing, more smacking. A: What are these people thinking? and B: Please tell me your office is worse.

Re: Irritating office yambags
there's a guy that sits right by me that would listen to music on headphones and either:
- hum loudly OR - "play the drums" on his desk and/or belly somehow it didn't bother anyone else (how the hell???). I kept telling him to stfu, knock it off, whenever he would do it - he's a nice kid and we're good work friends so I just say whatever I want. He would stop but then later that day or the next it would start up again. He said he couldn't help it. I just kept doing that for a while and now it's a lot better. so I think you should just tell them to knock it off.

Re: Irritating office yambags
I work with a guy who routinely mispronounces words and it drives me insane. I know this doesn't seem like a big deal, but it's probably the most irritating thing I've ever encountered in the workplace.
Examples: Says Dee-ZEM-ber instead of December Says ACK-a-ru-al (splitting into four syllables) instead of accrual Will always ask for my John Hitchcock when he needs a signature We have a printer that makes a lot of noise that he calls Chew-bookah (Chewbacca) It's the little things that drive me nuts.

[/ QUOTE ] I wish I could say he was (levelling me that is, not Nigerian) - but he's not nearly smart enough to level anyone. He's not Nigerian but he is from Newfoundland, so that might explain things.

Re: Irritating office yambags
I'm about to ask for my cube to be moved because of the guy on the other side of the wall. He's a program manager and well respected, but he's got to be the most annoying man on the planet.
First of all, you got the voice. It's just this whiny, bitchy, nasally voice. On top of that he's very loud. But the thing that really gets me: constantly talks to himself. Or rather, talks to his email. "awww c'mon guys!" Not talking to anyone. "What the hell are they doooing?!" Even just when he sits down at his desk: "ok, let's see here.. hmm..ok." Laughs at data he's reading or whatever. Sighs a lot. It's just clear he wants everyone around him to know he's angry, or delighted, or whatever. Oh.. one last thing. Chews gum like an f'ing cow. Same with carrots. ugghhh. I can't fathom who married him, or who hangs out with him. If it weren't for my iPod, I'd have lost it by now.
