- Posting incredibly detailed information about your health condition, along with your symptoms and the drugs you’ve used to treat the condition—on Facebook no less.
- Posting racist comments anywhere.
- Ignoring rules or laws because you don’t like them (why hello, Ferals, I am most certainly talking about you)
- Not using spell check on a presentation to a client. Lest you think I am being nit-picky, I’m not talking about using then instead of than, or even about poor writing. I’m talking about wrong capitalization and use of parentheses (Are “Businesses” . . . ) plus misspelled words (business savy).
- Holding a cell phone conversation in a restaurant after you are seated—on speaker phone.
- Taking up two parking places with your car . . .
And as long as I’m being crotchety, I will never understand
what passes for business casual dress in the work environment. If you’d wear it
to the beach, it’s not business casual. If you’d wear it to go clubbing, it’s
not business casual. If you’d wear it to work out, it’s not business casual.
Sheesh.

I am glad the racists post comments, that way you know which people to avoid. If you allow them to hide under a rock you never know who they are.
I think the Marketing Coordinator where I work might be annoyed with me, after every quarterly meeting I email her a list of incorrectly spelled words from the PowerPoint presentation we get...
BTW, speaker phones in cubicle farms should be banned...
Fortunately we are on headsets, all of us. No desk phones at my company--it's all VoIP. Very quiet that way, plus the sound quality is great.
