I work with a female who does the loudest burps 
and itās a regular occurrence. But itās laziness that drives me mad.

My boss is married to the big boss, heās been working there for years.. her for a matter of months (nepotism or what?!). She overshares their life to the MAX. Talking about their sex life, constantly making innuendos, talks about her past trauma with no thought of what other people have been through. I canāt complain to the person above her as itās the person sheās married to and I would most likely get the boot before she would even tho she has crossed the line!!
It's not the talking about kids that gets me, I like a bit of chit chat, its the constant having a phone shoved in my face with pictures of the little darlings doing this, that and everything in between!!Reading these itās making me think I wonder what people find annoying about meI probably talk about my kids a lot
I work in a well paid profession and we are all pretty experienced and good at what we do. The past 2 years we have been inundated with young And obnoxious 20 odd year old graduates who all seem to think they are too good to actually work for their money as they seem to think 3 years at Uni means they know it all 
All of them are normally family of other regions bossā who lumber our regional office with them because itās nepotism thatās got them the job and in reality they are about as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike. They all come with a 2nd class degree and a 6th in life skills so donāt have a clue about how to actually do the job we currently have a 25 year old getting 30K for an admin job she canāt do because she is a niece of someone.
But their young people on big boys wages so they need to step up.

When we complain they are getting a good wage for easy work and they should know what they are doing we get āoh, theyāre young give them a chanceāI don't even want to tell how many times I had to explain to some people that their email won't go because xyz@gmail isn't a complete email address

I have a disgusting burper too. Pretends to be shocked when they do it!! How can you pretend you didn't know that long disgusting loud burp was coming?I work with a female who does the loudest burps
Another one is smoking. I'm an ex smoker and have nothing against people who smoke . But asking if it's ok for them to go out for a smoke. You're a grown woman and you're asking me. One occasion I was really engrossed in my work and they asked. I half answered and they took it as me having a problem. They have quite serious health issues made worse by the smoking. They constantly go on about needing to give up etc and is super sensitive thinking that people judge them for smoking. They asked me if I had a problem with them going out for a cigarette. I replied no, but I do have a problem with you keep asking my permission. That went down well.
So in a nutshell one of my biggest bugbears with colleagues is projection. Same with my colleagues always complaining about their weight and that they need to go on a diet. I'm included in the conversation yet put down because I'm perceived to be "thin" and don't understand.
My males colleagues are the best. No digs, no hidden agenda and no backstabbing.
This really gets to me. When you're in a job age doesn't matter, you're employed because you are fit for the job the same as I am. Regardless of if there is 30 years between us, so you do your share and I do mine!Can relate with being young! I work in an office with 2 women, 1 is 50 and the other is 60! Iām 25.
They always pass me the jobs they canāt be arsed to do and say āyouāll get it done much quicker as youāre much younger!!āone of them is a avid cyclist - I am not!!! (No offence to anyone who is) but all she talks about is bikesssssss it drives me MAD!!!!!!
Have we been working in the same places?I work with an āoversharerā. She talks very openly and loudly about every aspect of her and her kids boring little lives. She routinely describes the content of their nappies to whole office.
I also work with a man whoās personal hygiene is a threat to peopleās health and safety. He has a finger permanently lodged up his nose and wears the same clothes for 3/4 days. He doesnāt even smell of BO as much as just pure filth? Then has the cheek to moan that the smell of perfume irritates him! Itās to mask YOUR STENCH!!
It was me and this woman in her late 50s doing morning shifts and she would turn up absolutely bladdered. All she done was yap. An oversharer who I tit you not, was telling me about her neighbours mothers kidney stones!! She had another evening job and would share trivial gossip from them like I knew or cared about their debts or them taking their cats to the vet. I couldn't cope.
And another, who I had to work in a small space with. He absolutely stank. He had all crap beneath his nails and really overpowering breath that would circulate the room. He also too had the audacity to say perfume "stunk". Anything he touched seemed to leave a bit of a lergy.
Omg ahahaha this sounds like my old work placeOh my days I agree with so many of these but the one that always bugs me is people toilet habits. I get most people donāt like to go at work but I canāt be avoided however if you do please flush and make sure itās all gone and use a bit of air freshener etc. One woman used to go religiously every day after her morning coffee to the single toilet which closed properly but would then swing it open when she left didnāt close the door behind which backed into the office till we all got a whiff of her breakfast coming out
Why do people do that?! A few weeks ago, we were all in the changing room getting ready to head home but one woman was parading around showing her phone to everyone exclaiming āIām so proud! Iāll have to buy her a present on my way home, isnāt it lovely when your girl becomes a womanā. Everyone was awkwardly going āoh yes soandso, how greatā with weird forced smiles on their face so I was obviously intrigued. It got to my turn and I realised it was a picture that her daughter had sent her of some bloody toilet roll!I work with an āoversharerā. She talks very openly and loudly about every aspect of her and her kids boring little lives. She routinely describes the content of their nappies to whole office
And she was showing the whole room!?!! This woman is an over sharer normally but that did it for me...That colleague that just doesnāt get āIām busyā vibes. Back when I worked in an office pre-covid, if I needed to get stuff done, Iād put my headphones in (noise cancelling), block out the world and focus. There was one person who would just come and kind of hang next to me... āSorry Iām busyā - āitās ok, itās just quickā. It was never quick and it was never related to work 
Also, people who use your stuff. I had a chair and desk, along with various bits and bobs that I had because i have hip/back issues. All clearly labelled with ādo not move/use/adjustā etc. The amount of times Iād find the chair half way across the office with something else using it, āoh I didnāt knowā and then refusing to give it back because they like it. Read then!!

When they ask you a question and then question your answer. Or when they only read half of an email so you have to ask again
Totally get that first bit. Thereās one or two repeat offenders of this in my office ( at least.... pre covid!). Iāll be stressed and trying to get something really complex done and they will just start randomly chatting AT me about something really pointless like what their weekend plans are. Iāll make it really obvious Iām busy and just give one word answers but they just donāt stop! How unaware can someone be?! Also people using my freaking mug, itās so clearly mine (personalised and was a leaving gift from a previous job) and itāll go missing for days and turn up on the other side of the building in another office. People are so oblivious!That colleague that just doesnāt get āIām busyā vibes.

Oversharers will always update you on a "Jackie" you don't know, no matter what.
I used to work with a woman at an IT company who constantly badgered me about my sex life (I told her I was a lesbian), and she would sometimes say "Look at her, does she tick your boxes?" or "Than Leanna looks lush. I bet you'd love to get your face between her thighs!"
Because I was contracting at this company on a 3 month contract, I didn't realise she was the office gossip. And when I replied to her second question by saying "Leanna looks great, but I don't know if she's into women!"
This woman later scurried up to Leanna and more or less suggested I'd like to "lick her to Heaven and back!" (her words). And then of course Leanna confronted me about this, which caused an argument while this gossiping witch looked on, probably inwardly smiling for stirring some tit.
So I always keep my private life private regardless who I am working for. Trust is a hard earned thing sometimes.

We have exact same in my office..my desk bank will be having a group chat (or one or two on bank chatting ) and woman on desk behind is always ready to pounce into the conversation! we try and chat but dont turn round so she cant catch our eye!
it is so annoying..she will also blatantly come over and stand next to you and interrupt the chat !
Graduates who have done 3 years at Uni but have never worked a day in their life thinking that a ādegreeā makes them oh so knowledgeable about everything even though they canāt even fill in paperwork correctly or understand the basics of what we do.
people who stink the office fridge out with stinking food.
mouldy coffee cups
Getting emails from someone who sits right beside you
Blind outside phone calls being directed to my desk phone (I usually just get internal calls)
people who jam the copier and leave it or people who use the last of the paper/toner and donāt replace it

Did we work with the same man?
I had this exact experience, even down to the complaining about the perfume and the smell not being B.O but like something rotting. Does his name begin with A? 
Edited to say he wasnāt annoying cos he smelt, he had many annoying characteristics.

I'm a graduate
I spent 3 years at uni
I worked in an IT environment full time
But no nepotism for me (phew!)
But fortunately I wasn't pig-headed or arrogant enough to go into a datacentre full of old pros and start telling them where they were going wrong etc. I just more or less kept quiet until I learned the ropes and became familiar with some of the characters there. But it was clear that some of their IT methods were sorely out of date and needed a fresh pair of eyes. They put up some resistance of course, but with a bit of pragmatism we got there in the end - more or less.
No, his name doesnāt begin with A. Terrifying to think that thereās more than one of them out thereDid we work with the same man?

People who make a mess in the kitchen and don't clean up after themselves "because that's what the cleaner is paid for." Is it really that hard to wipe up a spill or crumbs? I dread to think what state their homes are in, entitled lazy shits.
There's one girl who really annoys me because she is so so cheap and never contributes to anything but is always first to any free food from birthdays/leaving parties/payday treats and absolutely pigs out
