My out of office is on. I’ve told everyone I’m off til Wednesday. Yet people sent me emails on Friday (when I was also off) with stuff to do Monday. Now, in my company you get a preview of the out of office so you can see when someone if off if you bother to look. And all our calendars are public, so you can go get fucked lads.

When you ask someone a simple question and they reply with a big paragraph. I only required a yes or no 
That winds me up, too. But yeah ignore it. I just pretend I haven't looked at any emails after I put my out of office on. If they kick off, I just say that my out of office message clearly said when I was off, when I'd be back and who to contact in my absence.
My rant -- and it's one I've covered before, but needs saying again -- pointless meetings. It's always the same few people who take it to the extreme. There's one at the moment and it's clear he has only got one project on, so to save him twiddling his thumbs, he keeps putting in meetings. Some are literally meetings about future meetings. I'm honestly not joking.
He always makes meetings an hour long, even if that's not needed, and he circulates detailed agendas in advance (again a sign he's got too much time on his hands). At the end of each section, he says "has anyone got anything else to raise before we move on?" careful to add the bit in bold as if to say: "we're not finishing yet". The worst thing is that there are a couple of people on the project who are equally as light on time, so they're also eager to arrange millions of meetings.
Again...Colleagues coming in when they are obviously ill. Lady came in today with quite literally the worst cough I have ever heard (our employers are quite easy you can wfh freely) but no we were all wearing Christmas jumpers today and she 'wanted everyone to see her jumper'. Thanks for that pleasure we all now get a hacking cough for Xmas day

Amen. My colleague who came in ill has passed it on to everyone else. She "feels so much better and glad she isn't ill for Christmas ". I feel irrational anger towards her as I'm typing this message with a horrendous throat and tissue shoved up my nose.Again...Colleagues coming in when they are obviously ill.

We’ve had several people struggle in while clearly unwell - it doesn’t help that when they finally succumb and ring in sick, you can hear them being encouraged to just come in for a few hours 
On the other side of the coin, you get the ones who have spotted there’s a virus going around, and have “caught it” just in time to have Christmas week off - regardless of the fact it’s left the rest of the team so short staffed that we won’t even be able to get an early finish at the end of the week
It’s always the same culprits; I could have won money on who would be off ill this week

Someone in my office came in unwell passed it to me. I stayed home as soon as I felt off. Other collegue came in with a streaming cold and hacking cough. I am now on week 3 of feeling like death warmed over. I had to cancel a holiday and have been to the doctor 3 times. All costing me a fortune and really dont think I will be having any kind of Christmas at all.Again...Colleagues coming in when they are obviously ill.

I had the time booked off but it was to relax and chill not.lie in bed and cough myself inside out.
Person in office got their entire family sick and is right as rain.
All they had to do was wfh no big deal.
I can guarantee when I get back to office in January there will be at least 2 people with colds and 1 with a hacking cough rocking up.
Im wearing masks permanently in there from now on as none of then have any common sense.
Clearly, some people learned nothing from lockdowns. I hope you feel better soon.
I’ve felt quite unwell the last few days, no way would I even consider spreading it round. Some people are so inconsiderate.
Someone I know literally went to the office last week ill because "she had to get out of the house". Wtf this is why I don't ever go in, glad I have the choice for now, but if we have to go back full time, I will not be happy because morons like that exist
I came back off mat leave and IT had restricted my access as I hadn't logged on for 90 days.... No one told them I was on mat leave or that I was due back.
omg do you work with me !
This has recently started happening at my work too! Great big logs greeting you as you enter the cubicle
then you faced with dilema..do you ignore and use another toilet but risk someone coming in as you leave and thinking its you! or having to flush and clear up for someone else so no one else has to endure it ! If you're doing a no 2 at work wait till flush has finished before leaving..its not that hard surely?
This is probably definitely a me-problem but I'm annoyed already by my colleagues today and I don't start for hours.
I've not seen most of them since 19th December and there will be SO MUCH SMALL TALK I'll have to indulge them in - how was Christmas/ what did you do for NYE/ whatever - and I just want to UNSUBSCRIBE - please only talk to me about work, and only then if you really have to, you insufferable shits!
Wish I was more tolerant/ they were more tolerable

The absolute WORST are the ones who laboriously make you go through the whole “Happy New Year” rigmarole on like the 19th January. No, fuckettes. You get until the end of the first week, after which we MOVE ON.
I was just having a think about how long I’d need to put up with this for!
Not looking forward to going back today. The holiday went too quickly!
As others have said, there will be endless happy new year greetings and asking how Christmas was, plus I know today and the next few days will be busy because the amount of things people didn’t want to do before the Christmas break, hence pushed them out to this week. Joy.

We have a phantom shitter too. We have narrowed it down to 4 people and investigations are ongoing. The boss has even sent out an email.omg do you work with me !
