Somewhat music related.....
1 – a guy across from me always hums what's on the radio. Especially annoying when the music has stopped and he carries on.
2 – a project manager girl has the same constant rotation o falbums she puts on, so we have a two week cycle of Guns & Roses, The Clash, The Specials and Florence and The Machine.
Anyone else got anything like this?

guy with the desk next to me (who is really lovely) chews everything with his mouth open its sooo irritating. its ok if you dont even like people and you can just tell them, but if you do its hard to put your point across nicely that they need to stop
- Just throw stuff at his gob while he's eating, erasers, pencils, coins, whatever. He'll stop once he starts choking.shitehawke
- not a finger though, he might bite the tip offraf
- no, no, aviod inserting body parts in, such as fingers and the like.shitehawke

in my previous job a guy would drum and tap the table *LOUDLY* every single time music was played and that was all day, every day. like a fucking woodpecker pecking away at my brain..
on top of that the music was extremely obscure, wailing blues type of music id never even heard of!
and on top of that, there were some extremely messy people, they wouldnt provide us with bins so all the crap like papers, sweet wrappers etc were all strewn across the floor. imagine just walking all over their trash every day just to get to your own desk. even the cleaner that cleaned our office once a week stopped coming as she was overwhelmed with the amount of rubbish!
everyones cool where i work now..

Sometimes a guy plays Pink Floyd's The Wall on iTunes but he ordered the tracks by name...

I used to work in an office with a really young fat australian guy there, he was technical support and used to pretty much live in the office.
On several occasions I'd come in in the morning to find food crumbs and grease stains on my desk and keyboard. The fat cunt used to use my machine after I'd gone home and eat all around it.
It was my personal machine aswell, not the offices. At least fucking clean up after yourself!
The first time I let it slide but after that I had a word.

What about project managers that call EVERYTHING 'my'
I used to go to meetings and it would be 'this is my designer' ..... 'here is my design' ..... very annoying!

At one of the companies I worked for, a project manager would check on what I'd done 10 minutes before lunch and then before end of the day.
Annoying as fuck!- A classic, the last-minute ballbreaker...ItalianStallion
- I was being a bit sarcastic.. I mean annoying as it was they had all their right to do that imo. It was a web factory after all.raf

I used to work with a guy who, at least once a day, would dial my extension and when I'd pick up all I heard was C & C Music Factory – Gonna Make You Sweat, just the bit where girlie shouts "Everybody Dance Now" and then him giggling in the background...

My designer next to me sneezes so loudly it makes you jump, i then have to prod him and remind him what a annoying fuck he is!

Guy next to me eats crisps (or chips to the americans) with his mouth open. NOT good for someone who is nearly 40.

Also, at a place I used to work at – we would bust our balls to finish stuff for a deadline at 7 / 8pm. When this was done, the creative director used to call us in to the office and then start talking about a new brief and want to have a discussion about it.
Good idea that – creative meeting when everyone's brain is MUSH.

Oh man where to begin, generic stuff...
We / I people. When it is good they throw around 'I' and when it is bad they most definitely use 'We'
People that cut their finger nails at work.
Walking around bare foot in a business casual environment.
Excessively loud sneezing for sure.
Blindly passing the buck without even thinking about what your saying.More specific stuff... our SEO guy. I don't mind designing around SEO, but he will butcher a page just so he doesn't have to rewrite anything. We do a lot of lead generation and he is responsible for traffic and creative is responsible for conversion... when sites aren't producing its always conversion.
Programming, if you ask them to do anything you need to give them the exact details or they won't do it but will ask us can you make something pretty. If we program something they complain and don't want to deal with it, but when the program things its very very difficult to design around.
I can go on and on .... =P

A lady I work with is constantly yelling over her cube wall. Instead of getting up and walking over to the cube next to her she insists on talking really loud over the wall (which is too high for her to see over). She drives everyone insane.
The other thing that happens on a consistent bassis is in brainstorming type meetings the people with the absolutely shittiest ideas I've ever heard take over the meeting. They dominate the entire conversation with FAIL. It's quite annoying, usually I just tune out and think about other stuff or draw in my notebook.
