I share an office with his female counterpart. It drives me insane. She only types with one finger on each hand but she screws the rest of her hand into fists to get extra power with the pounding. One day her and her keyboard will go out of our office window.

Also I'm sharing an office on site with a different colleague. Lunch every day is two packets of mini cheddars, each biscuit individually sucked instead of chewed. This isn't even the most annoying thing about them!
I previously had a male team mate who started hammering the keyboard before he even took off his coat in the mornings.
He drove me to distraction noise cancelling headphones and music, even tried hypnotherapy. Nothing worked.
Now share with 2 women and Im not sure how the keyboards still work they hammer them so hard.
I am guessing this begins with an ‘S’? I may stop shopping there as that is disgusting.
Please do and for us staff there please complain they don't listen to us
Hand in hand with the keyboard thing - people who speak so loudly on Zoom calls, the whole floor can hear their conversations. I don’t mind if the person is on calls twice a day, but if they’re on calls ALL day and getting agitated or overly excited, it’s unbearable. I have to deal with that multiple times a week, 8 hours a day! I can’t even sit anywhere else because I’m told where to sit despite our hot desking policy smh,
Along with those who work remotely then on an office day for the first time nobody recognises them as their profile pic is so filtered they look like a totally different person.
All my male colleagues have black and white photos with Zoolander style pouts. Bet they spent hours posing to get the best one.
My colleague eats the same make and flavour of crisps every. Single. Day. Cheap ones from Lidl. Fair enough, she obviously likes them. But each crisp is thoroughly examined before eating. Finally when she finished rustling the packet and down to the bare crumbs she proceeds to lick her finger and dab out every single last tiny crumb. Drives me wild!! Just eat the bleeping crisps, bin it and move on!!
That would drive me up the walls.
My colleague really doesn’t understand personal space 
I have a colleague who has gone bald since his company photo was taken. There's been photos taken since but he's refused to change it to the one where he doesn't have hair
My colleagues sit with the blinds closed. So we get no natural day light.
I hope I get this job I’ve applied for.

Some of my colleagues have straight up selfies
I have colleagues who have used holiday snaps of them wearing massive sunglasses. It just doesn't seem right for work.
A few years back, I went to a work related event with colleagues who’d only seen my profile picture but not in person. The photo was taken at a passport Photo Booth and was therefore a scanned physical photo in the company directory, so no photoshop/alterations.
Unfortunately, when I attended this event, I had lost a lot of weight due to personal circumstances and stress and looked frail as opposed to my healthy face on the photo. One male coworker who met me for the first time said: ‘Oh, you’re TheGlossy? I didn’t recognize you at all. I only realized it’s you because you have a very distinctive voice’.
Hum right thanks! Two insults in one setting

Team nights out. Urgh.
Twice a year we have to have them to 'bond'.
New rules now that we have to do an 'activity' and not just go out for food/drink.
I really can't be arsed. A meal is OK, I live quite away from the office so normally eat the go while everyone else carries on. With now having to do an a activity, I think my babysitter is busy (single mum).
