I think the loud phone voice is the worst! We get that a lot in Miami. Usually the phone call isn’t even important and the conversation goes on forever!
Another thing that should be on the list is a loud ring tone or vibrating phone. I worked next to someone that would leave their phone on their desk and not take it with them. Their reason it was loud was so they could hear it while they were across the office and run to it from across the room! Their girlfriend called continously!
As far as the space invader goes, I had a coworker who let me know their pictures were there to stay. I surrounded her pictures with pictures of my wonderfully diverse family and she moved them.

Unfortunately, I’m the snot nosed worker who suffers allergies just by walking through the parking lot. I’m working on that, so forgive me!

I know a coworker who gets really irate if anyone leaves their cell phone ringer on (i.e., anything but silent). However, this is the same person who is the key smasher!

Fresh-lunged and don’t forget smug and sanctimonious.

To go along with # 10 – Bad breath – It’s hard to tell someone that their mouth smells like an unflushed toilet. So we just endure!

That is so funny and TRUE…. There are several people in the office (including myself) with asthma, so whenever someone marinates in perfume and then sits anywhere close to me, they always get told to go wash it off and if they don’t, a supervisor will tell them they need to. A cure for space invaders? Just hang up a photo of your very large pet snake. I have a snake, so a few days after I hung a photo of it up, my boss was like ‘when did you do that?” I said “Oh, a few days ago and Jekyll and Hyde (my nickname for one of the seemingly bipolar\paranoid coworkers) hasn’t sat anywhere near me since!” My boss started laughing. LOL She was like “Glad it worked.” I said “Yeah, I didn’t have to say a word, just slapped the picture up and then Connie said she refused to sit anywhere near that section!”

We’re allowed a 15 minute break morning and afternoon, therefor ANYONE can be out in the Sun for a short time during the day, not just smokers. Also I counted several anti smokers taking longer than their 15 minutes to go get coffee, muffins, etc from a block away with a long line but no one complains about their missing from the office.

P.S. Add in there: Arguing with your Significant Other on the phone. We don’t need to hear your personal ramblings.
