10 annoying office habits: Nail clipping, eavesdropping and food theft drive employees crazy

“One colleague had this peculiar and frankly gross habit of clipping his fingernails at his desk. Imagine the click-click sound of a nail clipper echoing through the office silence. Not only was the sound disruptive, but sometimes, you’d find a stray nail on the communal table.”  

“Someone had made a pan of brownies and left it on the table to share with the staff. The young employee took her fork that she had just been eating her lunch with, and ate right out of the brownie pan with it. I was aghast! When I asked her what she was doing, she genuinely had no idea what I was upset about! She got offended, saying, ‘That’s how we do it at home!’ You are not at home, you are at work and no one here wants to share in your saliva!”
