Our fish eater - the one who spilled it all over his chair - is a millennial born and raised in the USA. But that should answer your question on who would think a smell wouldn't bother anyone.
So is ours. This doesn't bother me as much as the person who obsessively talks about their fit bit, jogging and calorie input/output. Every day. It makes me want to drink and eat junk food.
Lately I think Blue Apron has a lot of fish (especially cod, since it's cheap) recipes which sucks because a lot of people bring Blue Apron meals in to work and reheat them at work.

We've also got a nail clipper in my office. Drives me crazy. Seriously, you have to bring your nail clipper to the office? That's the only down time you can find to cut your nails??

My boss used to slam his door all the time. Now he never does it, which I greatly appreciate. He also likes to talk on his speaker phone, which is mildly annoying, but not the end of the world.

oh my gosh that made me laugh! Of course I wouldn't be laughing if I were in your end of it though, but then I'd probably tell her to change it or out it in silent or carry it with her.Anonymous wrote:Woman on other side of cube wall would leave her desk, then her cell phone would start blowing up. Her ring tone was a barking dog. So incessant barking dog every 2 minutes.

And yes I'm the OP of the "is it unhealthy sitting next to a bathroom all day" thread
For god's sake, put a bottle of PooPourri in there!

Ten minutes before every meeting -- "You know you have a meeting with John Jones? It's in ten minutes."
After the meeting "How'd the meeting with John Jones go? Was the conference room okay?"
What's wrong with this?! This is way better than the type of admin who gets irritated when you ask them to do anything. I'll trade you!
Right? It's difficult to find a good OA... Mine is very helpful and I appreciate them very much. It's amazing how much load they can take off of you.

One guy vapes constantly. Always leaving the room to go vape outside
Jewel clips hers onstage if they hinder her playing. It's not like she's farting (hel-LO Barney Frank) or picking her nose
Several years ago, after a big round of layoffs, I inherited a nice corner office of a former director. He had left in a bit of a rush, taken what he needed out of his desk and left the rest. I was cleaning it out, making sure we didn't throw out any important documents when I came across his NAIL CLIPPING DRAWER. The man had been there for 10+ years and had clipped his nails and what appeared to be toenails into a drawer the whole time. It was covered half an inch thick in clippings! The worst part is that the drawer could not be removed and dumped out. I was not about to scoop them out and ended up calling the maintenance crew to clean it up with a vacuum. Even after dousing the thing with lysol, I was never able to even touch that drawer again.
People are gross.
Oh gross, that is horrific. Omg.

Not in the workplace but some coworkers drive like bats out of hell in the parking lot. HELLO, this isn't NASCAR.
I've lost count how many times I've almost been hit walking to the building but if I do get hit, I'm going to sue them for everything they have
