Well that depends...do you work for Penthouse, the Bunny Ranch, or for any similar business?

This does sound like the Penthouse Forum, does it not? I swear it happened. Fairly recently. At a conservative corporation too. Well known company worldwide and based in MoCo.

- also painting your nails
- ill fitting clothes: I don't want to see the top of your ass when you bend over or your muffin top hanging out of the bottom of your shirt
- not changing over from your commuting shoes or snow boots

Rude emails. "Please" and "thank you" go a long way.

Asking me to send you calemdar invites for every little thing. You suggested the meeting - type your own damn calendar entry.

Running in the hallway. I work at a law firm, not a school or medical facility.

1.) Cleavage ...number one thing I want to tell our interns. I don't care that you don't wear panty hose, or own a real suit, or are 8 minutes late because the starbucks line was too long but throwing a blazer over the shirt you wore to the club does NOT make it professional.

2.) People who use their kids as a constant excuse. i have three kids so i get it but just somehow make it work and get your work done. Plus its really disrespectful to people who don't have kids because it assumes whatever their personal priorities are they aren't as important as you being a parent.

3.) Racist jokes.

Thigh highs that drop below the hem of your skirt
Fingertip length skirts
Cleavage
Booties with a skirt
(Previous 4 items were all on the same person on the same day at my firm)
Golf shirts with college or sports team logos
Wearing all black all the time

Clipping your nails.
Using speakerphone without closing your office door (I don't have an office).
Eating smelly food
Trying to pressure people into donating to random causes.
Wearing scents (perfume, cologne)

- Oversharing. I do NOT need to hear a minute-by-minute account of your weekend

- getting drunk on business trips

-having extended personal phone conversations at the office

- decorating your desk with childrens toys
- too many pictures of your kid/dog/cat
- gossip
- slamming doors

Also people who chronically announce halfway through meetings that they have to "run" because they have "something else on their calendar." Could you make it any more obvious my project is a low priority?

And ladies, leggings are not pants. I don't care how thin you are, how thick the leggings are, how low your sweater goes, or how high your boots go. Wear some real goddamn pants.
