There is the guy that always ****ing whistles. it's so annoying. he is whistling right now. My office is relatively quiet so you hear it. He does is it all god damn day

Another one is people who keep their cell phones on ringer all day and never answer it.

Also, people who talk extra loud on the phone.

Tell him to STFU before you rip out his tongue and shove it down his throat.....that should get your point across lol

ask him to give you whistling pointers, go over to his desk start blowing spit all over his desk and tell him you "just can't get it right" and you need some teaching.

We have a relatively small office in numbers but when we moved to our new office we had cubicle put in for our two sales reps and my self. Our boss bought us all a book called, "The Cubicle Survival Guide" Still haven't read it.

I've only had one complaint directed at me, My desk phone ringer was too loud. It was set at 1/3 level. But its the CTU ring tone from 24.

But I don't complain when the sales rep on the other side of the wall of me eats her tuna during.

Smells are about my only pet peeve, like overwhelming nasty food smells, mostly. Sounds don't bother me unless I'm doing a Video Deposition, then that is a bother.

Thats ironic, we have this ass in my office who always whistles...today he was whistling whatever it is that cartoon frog used to sing... "hello my baby hello my honey..."

I also hate when people gather near my desk..i'm on the phone...with my headset on and they're LOUD AS HELL

UGH

I hate when skevy women walk around with $2 perfume on and it stinks up the aisle for a 1/2 hour.

I suspended a guy for three guys for whistling. I told him to stop, and he ignored me. Drove me freaking nuts. Told him to leave and come back in 3 days. Never whistled again.

Get a book on Comptia A+. That will teach you the basics of pc repair, hardware and software wise.
