Customer service is all but dead and it seems that professionalism is on life support at times. Common courtesy also appears to be on the decline in my neck of the woods. Some days are better than others but what annoys you the most at work or school?

Rude old people who think they are entitled to senior discount everywhere.
i hate the people who have a huge mouth and when they yawn very disturbing
I would choose all of those options if I could.
But really, people who don't wash their hands in the bathroom... That's just disgusting. And some people even proudly admit that they don't wash their hands... :S
Away days. I hate away days. Where you all get out of the office for a day and get split into groups who have to write a play which illuminates one of your institution's key values and then perform it with the other victims who ended up in your group. I swear to God this is true - I once had to pretend to be married to a woman I hate, pretend we owned a pie factory, and to show concern that all our pies were falling into the nearby river. We were illuminating the difference between a "risk" and an "issue". It turns out what we had was an issue.
No sh*t, Sherlock! It was the first of many issues that day.
Solving some kind of murder mystery on a pretend jumbo jet was one of them. Making a chair out of cardboard was another. Formulating a cogent argument about where I think the institution should be in (a) six months (b) two years, was another one. Listening to a bumptious "facilitator" try to raise our morale by repeatedly saying that what we were doing that day was all a bit stupid and pointless was perhaps the highlight of the day in terms of facile self-delusion on the part of everyone but the unwilling participants.
Although lunch was also fun. The vegetarian option turned out to be the garnish that the non-vegetarians were offered. Yes, thank you, I do most of my best work on a lunch of lettuce leaves and some dried up slices of what I can only assume had previously been tomato in a past life that had been conducted entirely within the confines of the seventh circle of Hell.
The afternoon consisted of the boss trying to be funny in a thirty-minute speech that was about as funny as a fire in an orphanage and then each of us having an opportunity to further humiliate ourselves by talking for five minutes about something that is important to us. The topics ranged between Star Wars, Islam, cats, growing carrots, cats (again), and someone's baby daughter. When it was my turn, you have no idea how close I was to talking informatively and passionately about the rise of Nazism. To my eternal shame, I talked about my job. I still don't know why. Especially because, as I was speaking, I realised that I was presently AT my job and my job required me to do something as stupid and pointless as talk about my job at an away day full of people who don't care about my job, including myself and two other vegetarians who had been sustained by nothing more than vegetables that, if fresh, would have been 98% water anyway, but even that 98% of absolute nothingness had been eroded by the fact that they'd been sitting under a heat lamp since the year 1765.
the loud ones just want to be noticed and thoses are the type of people wh oi got sent to jail over. (the first time)
I hate when people think they can do whatever they want. It's SOOOOOO annoying!!
i have i guy fucking stinks!!!!but I'm ashamed to tell him that...his my let's say work supervisor.He smells like cats and sweat!
i dont like the drone of small talk and the malice of gossip, so i stay boring and get off lightly. but i chose the sound of heels thats annoying
I'm with you devilla!
I hated the malicious gossip so much I had to get out of the rat race. Every time someone left the office it became a bitch fest until they walked back in, then someone else left, and so on and so on.... forever.
Aaaarrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhh!! Just get on with the bloody job you're being paid to do!!!
