    OK, we’ve had enough threads lamenting other people’s annoying work habits so I think it’s about time we all FESS UP and post what other people would say about OURS.

    - I constantly tap on my desk. I can’t help it. I try to do it quietly, but I know sometimes my neighbor can hear it. Probably drives her crazy. But hey….I gotta practice my speed and accuracy on those double-paradiddles and flamtaps some time. Where better than at work?
    - I whistle. Again, I’m sure it annoys people but I can’t help it.
    - I hum along to my iPod.
    - I take the last cup of coffee in the pot without starting a new one. Sorry, but every time I get a cup, it’s the last one. I can only start so many new pots before I REBEL.
    - I endlessly peruse Clutchfans. All day, every day.

    Foot tapping.

    I've always wondered why I can tolerate my finger and foot tapping but not others.

    i tend to bang on my desk or stomp my feet when i'm on the phone with an annoying customer. i try to mute the phone when i do so they don't hear, but it's been made known to me that it's annoying to my co-workers. used to do it a lot.

    I would end you with a spork.


    I use my headphones as much as possible, so that I don't have to hear people like drummer, and I can ignore people, even if I do hear them talking to me.

    I laugh quite a lot and i don't know if I'm loud but sometimes my co-worker would ask me, "what's so funny?" I dunno if that's annoying to my work neighbors.

    That's all. Nobody complained to me or someone else.

    I do that in my cubicle and if someone walks up then I grab them by the shoulders and say, 'Let's walk and talk. I got to go [somewhere]'. Where somewhere is anywhere but where they can smell it and call me out.

    I ignore calls and let them leave messages. I go for walk breaks instead of smoke breaks.

    While browsing, I constantly select/hightlight and un-select/highlight text. I don't know how I got in the habit of it, but I've been told it's very annoying.
