What’s a pet peeve of yours that a coworker or client does? Mine is that my coworker says “ya know” after literally every sentence they say

No pet peeve in particular. I just hate people, generally speaking. 😀

A coworker does not pick up social cues or just wants to keep talking incessantly or their Teams is delayed? 🤷 There have been several times where someone wants to interject to ask a question about what they're saying or provide a comment and they just keep talking. During coworker's brief pauses, someone will repeat their original question that was overlooked and eventually give up/switch subjects after trying to bring it up 2-3x because coworker keeps going. This is not some big meeting though, very casual so maybe they're excited to pour out personal details.

My co-worker always randomly turns his chair around and scoots right up to me when I’m focused with headphones in just to say “whatcha doin?” as if he’s a bored child. Stares at my computer screen too and asks what I’m working on, super rude imo.

When a low-level client asks a pointless question solely b/c they were taught to ask questions during meetings so they appear engaged. These often lead to moronic conversations about non-issues which ruin momentum and extend meeting time.

None now, my associate is amazing but before him the last guy I worked with would always turn on the radio as soon as he walked in the office and it was always some annoying talk show. He also couldn’t stand sitting around and would find random stuff for us to do when it wasn’t busy.

My old manager used to always say, “Gotcha…,” any time someone was finished speaking at length. I annoyingly have adopted this bad habit :/

The problem is we’re going back into the office and I don’t want to go in if it’s just going to be senior management in asking me to get them lunches for client meetings or fetch a glass of water and cutlery for meeting rooms.
