Coworkers…we love them, yet find them annoying
JOBURG – We don't only deal with hectic work loads, we deal with the annoying habits our colleagues just happily adopt too.

Tight working spaces mixed with various personality traits and a whole heap of stressful situations can lead to uncomfortable work spaces.
We all have those moments where being at work on that particular day just seems like a long tedious affair.
You are not alone in your work struggle, every office in the world has its own components of annoying co-workers that we find ourselves secretly praying for.
There are various annoyances we deal with on the daily.
Every office has those colleagues who:
- Will not shut up, ever.
- Never respond to emails.
- Talks about things that are way too personal.
- Leave their phone notifications on.
- Constantly talk about their significant other.
- Don’t wash their hands after using the bathroom
- Laugh at an alarming volume.
- Constantly chew crunchy things at your desk
- Listen to music on their headphones so loud that everyone around them knows they’ve been listening to “Happy” for three weeks straight.
- Stand by impatiently while people are having a conversation, instead of just saying, “Hey, come see me when you’re done.”
- Steal food from the fridge.
- Type louder than was thought to be humanly possible
These are just a few of our daily work stresses, and may we all humbly know that we have personally committed one of these crimes in the workplace.
