A report by on-line commercial office space firm officebroker.com said every office had a worker whose habits annoyed colleagues. The report listed some of the most common workplace personalities as:
- The Hipster - wears the shiniest suit and the silliest socks.
- The Borrower - always borrowing items from colleagues.
- The Snake - slimy, limp hand shaker who slithers around and stares at colleagues for far too long.
- The Smacker - slurps their way through lunch.
- Pussy Galore - sweet yet neurotic colleague whose desk is covered in pictures of cats.
- Moaning Minnie - complains all day long.
- The Gossip Monger - loves a good drama and is always first to share any scandal.
- The Sniffer - Women, or men, who overdose on perfume or aftershave and waft through the office.
- The Message Mangler - takes a message but always forgets to find out full details.
