Bad Habits Irritate Work Colleagues
A LIST of workers' personalities, which range from a 'gossip monger' to a 'moaning minnie' is released today.
Every office had a worker whose habits annoyed his or her colleagues, the report says. Some of the most irritating personality types are The Snake', who slithers around and stares at colleagues for far longer than should be allowed, The Smacker', who talks with their mouth full,
and The Borrower', who is always borrowing items from their work pals. Researcher office space firm officebroker.com said: 'We reckon humour or beating them at their own game are some of the best ways to deal with irritating colleagues and their habits.’
