And how! Someone on my floor microwaved a tuna noodle casserole and the entire floor reeked all day. The stench wafted into some courtrooms and the judges had fits. New rule for my building - No fish of any kind goes in the microwave. LOL!

I have access to reset passwords to a certain application and a coworker would come to me for password reset weekly. He would tell me he doesn't know how to use a certain tool, I helped him figured it out and he would ask me to get it done for him while I'm at it. I always tell him that I don't want to get sidetracked with my tasks. I think he knows how much he's bothering me because he buys me coffee ocassionally. LOL.
Other coworkers have similar issues with him and upper management knows this as well.

One coworker heated fish in the microwave so whole kitchen area smelled. Took it back to his desk and it fell out of bowl all over his chair...which is fabric and the smell lingered forever.

and then this guy:

Picks up coffee cup. Sips coffee. Says "Ahhhh." Puts down coffee cup. Repeat for amount of sips per Starbucks grande.

I would say the most irritating is the guy who clicks his pen in meetings. It is a nervous habit but after an hour of that, you want to choke him.

Those who constantly want to know what you're eating for lunch to the point they're hovering over your food.

Motormouths; shut up already especially when it has NOTHING to do with work

Not defending the sardines, but this probably left a worse smell....

My co-worker talks loudly to himself. ALL THE TIME.

Yes!! The worst are the people who critique your lunch as if you asked them to have some.

Who are all these nasty fish eaters? Are they foreign? I can't imagine anyone born and raised in the USA thinking the smell won't bother anyone.

Do sardines really smell that bad? Bummer i try to eat them bc our cafe is useless and they help cholesterol. Of course don't microwave but I thought no worse than a tuna sandwich.

Pooping. I know thats not a habit but like. Do you HAVE to do it every day at work? And stink up the whole bathroom? I literally know exactly which coworker was in there too.. I know their poop smells.

And yes I'm the OP of the "is it unhealthy sitting next to a bathroom all day" thread

+1 to clipping nails. I have on coworker who must have a super power of fast nail growing since he clips them every other day. The sounds makes me cringe.

There's this know-it-all condescending bitch at my law firm who always brings her 5 sons into meetings and says, "It's cool, they're just going to color," but then she's distracted the whole time and just all-around inept.

The guy with flu, pneumonia, whatever, who coughs all day, is a mediocre worker in general, but practices presenteeism because, as he told me, no man should take a sick day.
