If you thought this was just a bit of fun, you would be wrong. The latest Fish4jobs survey on the office environment have highlighted some real irritating behaviours that eats away at office moral, and subsequently job satisfaction. How many of these can you tick off in your office?

  1. 1.Not showering – Around two thirds (59%) said poor personal hygiene was the worst sin that colleagues could commit
  2. Loud mouth - Shouting in the office and generally making a racket winds almost half of us up (44%)
  3. 'Innocent' theft – Over a third (35%) of people surveyed cited stealing stationary as their colleagues most annoying habit
  4. Email calamity - Crashing email systems by sending huge attachments around the entire company sent a third of those surveyed running for the door (31%)
  5. Stale cooking smells from last night – Insisting on re-heating last night’s smelly dinner annoys almost a quarter of workers (22%)
  6. Mess – 15% of people surveyed said colleagues’ messy desks made the whole office look like a dump!
  7. Clickety click– Constant pen clicking drives over one in ten of us insane (14%)
  8. P*** ***F! – One in ten (10%) of us are seriously put off by foul language
  9. Bad habits – Weird personal habits like cracking knuckles and tapping feet infuriate around one in ten (9%) of Brits
  10. 'Borrowing food' – Nabbing from the fridge makes 7% of those surveyed very angry
