If you’re a fan of The Office, Superstore, Parks and Recreation, or any of the other countless sitcoms set in a work environment, you probably know that you’re not alone in having some colleagues that you can’t stand. We can laugh at these fictional employees' pain when they're infuriated by a coworker because we know the feeling all too well. In fact, according to a Comparably survey, it is so common to work with someone that drives you crazy that one in three workers admitted to considering leaving their jobs altogether due to their disdain for a colleague.
So what are the worst workplace habits, and how can we be sure to avoid picking them up ourselves? Well, lucky for us, Reddit users have recently been spilling all of the workplace behaviors they refuse to tolerate in a thread on r/AskWomen. Below, we’ve gathered many of their passionate responses, so be sure to upvote all of the answers calling out behavior that would send you immediately running to HR as well.
Keep reading to also find an interview with Wilson Calil, founder of Totempool, to hear his thoughts on the topic. Then, if you’re interested in checking out another Bored Panda article discussing some of the most toxic behaviors taking place in work environments, you can find that right here. (And if you need to passive aggressively send this article to your colleagues after reading it, don’t worry. We won’t judge you!)

Idk if this counts but I hate the social pressure to go to office parties/happy hours/whatever. I came to work not spend money and socialize.
To gain some insight on this topic from an expert, we reached out to Wilson Calil, founder of Totempool. First, we wanted to know if Wilson had ever experienced any particularly frustrating coworkers. "When it comes to infuriating workplace behaviors, few are as infuriating and unprofessional as when a colleague appropriates others' work," he told Bored Panda.
"A person taking credit for another's work without permission or acknowledgment can damage that individual's career in the company," he explained. "Not only does it hurt their ability to be seen as valuable contributors, but it also diminishes the value of their hard-earned accomplishments."
I'm in healthcare, and I cannot tolerate people who treat patients like an inconvenience. I know some of them (and their families) can be a PITA, but if you can't handle some of that every now and again, it's time to change careers.
Thank you for saying this. I have been hospitalized three times in the last two years, and in the first two cases (in the ICU, mind you) the people "caring" for me were so mean. I know it's a very hard job, but I also did not want to be there, and I was there through no fault of my own (not that it should matter). We are in a very vulnerable position, please be nice, even, especially, when it's hard.
"[Appropriating a colleague's work] is typical in corporations where professionals want to get promotions or go for higher end-of-year bonuses," Wilson noted. "In general, it comes from a project that, the major part of it, was accomplished by someone other than the person claiming credit for it. Sometimes, it can be the boss; other times can be a peer."
"For any organization to succeed in its endeavors, all employees must respect each other's contributions, no matter how small or insignificant they may seem."
Managers not communicating clearly and then getting angry that you didn't do exactly what they wanted when they didn't tell you what they wanted in the first place.
And when they change their minds and expect you to have figured that out before they tell you. Like, geez, calm tf down.
We also asked Wilson how this kind of inappropriate behavior can affect morale in a work environment. "When a colleague appropriates from others' work, it can cause resentment, distrust, and decreased productivity," he told Bored Panda. "Colleagues may feel their hard work is unrecognized or their employer isn't doing enough to protect them from plagiarism. In addition, other colleagues, aware of what is happening, may also become reluctant to contribute new ideas for fear someone else will try to take credit for them."
"This type of behavior can lead to feelings of frustration and disrespect, as well as an erosion of morale and trust in the workplace. Injustice becomes apparent, and people start disliking working for the company," Wilson shared. "In most cases, the meritocracy is disbelieved, and the whole team's performance is affected. It also creates an environment where sharing information becomes risky, and communication and collaboration start to reduce."
Bullies. We have a group of grown a*s mean girls at my work and I can't f*****g stand them. Full grown, 30+ year old highschool bullies.
I was bullied throughout my school years at an all girls convent school. And I was also bullied by 6-7 women at my workplace to the point that I had to file a complaint with HR. And the whole team got called to an anti-harassment/bullying at workplace meeting. All women >30 or older
I had coworkers like this. One was 34, other 42. But working with them was like returning to elementary school. They behaved like 13 years old brats.

There was a potluck at work and I couldn't afford to make anything so I was just not going to participate. I guess someone who also didn't make anything wanted some food and some of the women who planned it told them they couldn't because they didn't bring anything then came up to me and offered me some. It was so so so mean. I didn't touch their "salty" food.
Its worse when one of them is in HR and got the job through nepotism. Can't complain to the VP's childhood best friend.
Some people just never leave the high school mindset. Those mean “girls” aren’t girls anymore. They’re grown a*s women who should be old enough to know better.
My cousin's daughter has atopic eczema. One girl in her class was bullying her because "her hands are red", so cousin went to talk with girl's parents. He met girl's mother and realized that mother not only didn't see anything wrong with daughter's behaviour, she was also supporting it. Basically grown a*s woman told her 7 yo daugher it was ok to bully and mock people because "eczema is ugly"".
And this is why there needs to be a successful proactive way to nip this in the bud early in their lives, because it would be better for everyone. Honestly they can't be happy being bullies.
This is ridiculous. People like this used to be the minority. Now it appears that there are so many of them it's out of control. Our society is sinking, badly, and the types of people that one used to "put in their place" seem to be so numerous now. Why aren't parents "raising" their children anymore?
Last year I stopped leaving Meets if a particular manager was still in the Meet bc she would bully her staff after everyone else had left. God, that pissed her off!
Yes, oh my god, there is one girl in particular at my mom’s office who is in charge of a family friend. She was a b***h to her, literal high school bully; told her not to talk to higher ups at meetings or events, to stay in her lane, that her experience wasn’t good enough, that she “knew (friend) needed this job,” just. Eugh.
I got to the point where I wanted to challenge the person who stated "women being the fairer sex". Fairer to whom? Certainly not each other and I don't know why it is that way a lot of the times. I have also gotten to the point where I no longer even try developing a friendship/rapport with any women these days. I became like this at the around the age of 50. I just got bitten or scratch by them one too many times to ever trust the gender again.
I was an employee at a place when in my first week I went to HR about a 60+ year old bully that was taking on 3 of us at 1 time I ended up getting fired for losing too many days because my mental status was horrible 1 month later I found my dream job 😁
I can't stand bullies either but I'd like to remind everyone that hurt people hurt people and that the vast majority of bullies are actually really miserable and insecure. You might not be able to win them all over but sometimes you can!
I told this one 35 yr old why are you still bullying?..., "What, are you like...,12?" Grow up.
The "mean girls" in my office are all 50+ and I think it's really sad these women 20 years older than me are acting like that.
I used to believe when I was in my early twenties that adulthood means most of the horrible behaviours of children and teenagers who bully would fade away with enlightenment from maturity. Oh, how sadly wrong I was! Worked in an office and because I dressed very well, travelled and was affluent was ostracized by the resident bullies, ( dowdy, nasty, miserable hags!!!). I befriended the women that they shunned and made fun of. Ended up quitting and leaving the workforce for good. People who do this to others should be tried by ordeal!
Women at my 30 yrs reunion were talking sh#t and trying to doing the same bullying they did in hs.. It quickly stopped when I had a ton of guys coming and talking to me. Including married ones. I wasn't a knockout beauty never have been. But my self confidence shined that evening.
Nurses in hospitals can be the worst mean girls..you are either one of them, or you leave..no in between.
If the bully’s personality isn't developed by high school age, it won’t be functioning any better in an adult age bully.
There was a bully backstabber who'd alienated everyone in the department. She needed to test something with a number of users logged on making busy. She sent out a request for people to come to the test lab at a certain time to particiate. Nobody showed up.
I replaced a terminated woman in the sales devision of my electronics company. I had been with the Company for over 20 years and was returning from a work comp injury. The woman I replaced was a close friend of the 4 women working there. My first day back was torture, since the women resented me for taking over their friend's cubicle and removing her things to make room for mine. They became heartless bullies, they wouldn't train me and did everything they could to make my job totally miserable. Since I had a spotless, hard working reputation in the company and asked for a transfer … I was highly respected, so before I left, the Sales Dept. Director asked me how I felt the sales department could be improved … I told him the truth as I saw it … including: the department was overstaffed, one person could handle it. Within a week the 'bully-click' was broken up and reassigned. I was back at my old job. The last time I saw the 'head-bully' she was sweating over a stack of sales orders.
The bully thing never worked with me. I told a mmanager years ago that I quit and put my foot up his.,... Anyone that something slick would get it right back. People left me alone very quick at work lol
Some people (mainly women, sadly) just seem physically incapable of moving on from their high school mentality.
I was in my twenties and the worst bully I found was an 18 year old fresh from high-school. She wormed her way up to assistant manager and ended up giving special favors to her high-school friends and treating the older employees like garbage.
If bullying means they all stick together and ignore you, especially when you ask for help, then for sure
I was bullied by my misogynistic and racist manager. HR supported him. Our head of site ignored my pleas. He is still employed and living the good life.
When it comes to addressing issues of stealing credit for other's work, Wilson says the best solution is to implement clear policies about proper attribution and recognizing each team member's unique contributions. "Employers should ensure that everyone understands these policies and that they are consistently enforced. Companies should also recognize employees who demonstrate assertive, ethical behavior and reward any creative contributions with fair compensation or recognition."
I would love to get away from the idea that the only justifiable reasons to set a boundary are either that 1) you’re deathly ill or 2) you already owe your time to somebody else (a kid, a parent, etc).
It’s okay if I don’t want to work every weekend because I value my social life and my rest. The commitments I make to myself still count.
And when an employee notices behavior that is bothering them, Wilson says it's best for them to address it immediately and in a professional manner. "To start, it is important for the employee to take a step back and assess the situation objectively. It may be beneficial to discuss the issue with another colleague or supervisor if appropriate, as this can help clarify what is going on and provide additional context," he told Bored Panda.
"When addressing an issue with a colleague directly, it is crucial for employees to stay calm and collected in order to avoid escalating the situation further," Wilson says. "The goal here is for both parties involved to come up with solutions together instead of pointing fingers or assigning blame. It is also important for employees who are experiencing frustration due to their colleagues' behaviors not to jump into conclusions too hastily, but rather listen attentively before responding or taking action, so they can fully comprehend what took place."
"Some companies have an 'open-door' policy where you can go and talk with the supervisor," Wilson told Bored Panda. "Other companies want employees to go straight to the Human Resource department to discuss the issue and get it solved. I recommend talking to the person directly and showing the points you disliked, asking for a team solution for the problem, and attributing the credit to the right people."
Martyrdom. "I worked until 8pm last night unpaid". (Teacher here). What staff like this are doing is the reason teachers are underpaid and overstretched
We were also curious what Wilson wants all employees to know about being a great colleague. "First, be sure to treat everyone with respect and courtesy," he noted. "Listen attentively during meetings and conversations, demonstrate empathy when colleagues are struggling with something, and avoid gossip or hurtful comments at all costs. Additionally, remember to give credit where credit is due! Acknowledging the achievements of others will motivate them to do even better in the future."
"Finally, look for signs of burnout among teammates or coworkers who may take on too much responsibility," Wilson added. "Offer support if needed by offering assistance in whatever capacity possible."
Glorifying being overworked as if it’s an accomplishment. Working 76 hours when you’re scheduled for 40 is not an accomplishment. You’re being overworked and abused by management and because people tolerate it and glorify it - they then think it can pass for each employee they have. It does for a while but then you end up understaffed because a lot of people cannot keep up with the demand.
Also, sexual harassment and comments in the workplace.
While working as a server a cook specified to another like cook about how easily all of our servers could be raped. I was 23 but most of my server gals were 16-18. I reported him to management and was told to mind my business.
This is in restaurant culture and is rampant. I got the front of house manager and the proprieter in trouble for being super sleazy and sexually harassing the female staff especially hostesses. Instead of being fired, they were reprimanded and just relocated to another store. I'm glad we didn't have to deal with them anymore but they didn't learn anything and now are probably preying on an entirely new set of staff.
Finally, Wilson says, "Employees should strive to maintain a collaborative atmosphere in the workplace by demonstrating positive behaviors such as fostering collaborative problem-solving, proactively engaging with colleagues, and providing constructive feedback. [They] should be mindful of their communication style, seeking to remain respectful and courteous when dealing with each other. It is also crucial for employees to understand the importance of maintaining a sense of professionalism while ensuring that any potential conflicts are addressed through appropriate channels."

The idea that everyone is on call all the time for all things. Yes, emergencies do happen and certain people are responsible for that - Head of Security and there was a security breach? Yes call them at 2am on their vacation. Head of Legal and the CEO just got served, yes call them when they're home sick. However, Manager can't find a file they wanted to peruse to "get ahead of things"? Yeah, don't call your secretary at her daughter's graduation.
Saying mean/gossipy things about coworkers when they’re not around, then being nice to them when they are.
I caught one lady at work 2 times doing this with me and another new girl. The switch in attitude she did when she saw I was right there was the most creepiest thing I've experienced on a job.
My manager often has a poor attitude in the mornings and it's super demoralizing for me.
Also, I wish more managers would push gratitude and say "thanks for your work today" or express more positive feedback than just criticism.
That's a big complaint at my work. I can hear managers praising one department but never mine.
Slack messages that say just “Hi” and wait for me to respond before telling me what they need.
It’s asynchronous communication, people. Just say what you need to say.
I paste this canned reply: "I acknowledge that you wish to send me a message, and I await your message. Please send me the message that you clearly wish to send. I give you my permission to send me the actual message. You do not have to ask my permission to send me messages again, now or in the future."
Taking credit for other's work, or blaming their poor work on others. Like we can see the tags on the file and know it was you who did it or not.
Going along with this is people who talk $#!+ about other people because they think making someone else look bad somehow makes them look good.
someone who thinks they're a manager when they're not. for example the chode who was just hired after me who tried to shake me down about my break schedule. go f**k yourself please and thank you
Micromanaging.
I hate this. It's always followed with "We want you to think for yourselves what has to be done. No, you can't decide what you want to do. We will make the decision. Do this. Do that. Can't do this. Can't do that. NO NO NO! That's not how I told you."
Weaponized Incompetence. If I don't know how to do something I just google it. So when someone tries to feign ignorance on a standard task they should be able to do, it really pisses me off. Especially since they are usually trying to get me to do their task. Stop trying to p**n off tasks to others & just do your job. I'll 100% show you how to do the task, but the second someone goes "but you can do it so much faster!!!" my blood boils... like you could learn and do it just as fast as me...but you're a lazy piece of s**t trying to get me to do your job. I have now started to create tutorials and just send them that as a response. Works well so far and they can't complain...like what are you going to say? "She won't do these simple tasks for me anymore like she used to!!" Just do your job and stop bothering others to do it for you.
Microwaving fish in a communal kitchen. Only monsters do it.
The people where if you make a mistake, they won’t tell you to your face but via email so that they can CC a higher up or the rest of the team.
I will use email to point out a mistake. But I'll only CC another person if absolutely neccessary. And yes, sometimes it is neccessary. I had colleagues who would turn right around and try to pin stuff at me or blaming me for not telling them when indeed I did. That's why the first time telling them will now happen via mail without anyone in CC, but that way I still have a digital trail with a time stamp. Sadly some people still try to somehow make their faults my fault, so then you can be sure their boss will get a copy of that mail and the next time, definitely will be in CC.
Commenting on what I'm eating! like be quiet. I didn't ask you, lady.
This is usually accompanied by my second pet peeve. Commenting on my weight. I'm not super thin anymore. I'm average weight now. But I used to be abnormally thin. I also used to have an eating disorder. So, I'd get women in the breakroom like "Where do you put it? Where does it all go? Hardy-Har"-in the toilet, Janet. It will be thrown up into the toilet and your comments aren't helping.
My last job was really bad for this. If I brought my own food it wasn't healthy enough. If I bought takeaway I was splurging too much on myself and "starving my family". I would hear comments about other's food. People bitched so much about ethnic foods management put a ban on any scented foods. That eliminated most food.
I feel like private information should, if at all, be volunteered and it’s inappropriate to ask. I had my first child younger than is typical for my culture and random coworkers I met that day (that knew I had a kid based of a Mother’s Day present on my desk) asked me if he was planned. Get a grip, we’re not hanging out, we‘re working together.
This is so common and I get the feeling you have to give an answer. I had mine young, too, and I apparently still look like I'm in my 20s. My daughter's grown up now and when people heard she had a 21st birthday everyone was so shocked, asking my age, when I had her. It was super uncomfortable and opened the door for scrutiny for how I decide my life choices. No one should have to answer to anyone about their personal life. It's no one's business. Every job I've had it's been like this.
Acting like this is high school, reporting me because I don't want to talk about your personal life with you (yes this happened and my boss laughed it off obviously).
I got reported because I didn't want to talk s**t about someone who used to work there (one of my only friends in the company) and the boss was in on the s**t talking as well. Glad I left.
Speaking condescendingly to someone simply because they're younger than you are
This also happens the other way, younger people talking to older people as if they know nothing.
Acting as though your grumpy "I haven't had my coffee yet" tantrums are a personality trait
Constant, pointless (almost nattering like) small talk from specific people.
I don't want to hear about your favorite pie and debate if it's the best flavor or not.
The ‘better than you’ attitude because they work in a ‘better’ department.
Drives me nuts!
Inability to follow directions or accept constructive criticism. It's vital to the work that I do. I let new employees go the second I see it.

Not firing lazy bums because we are short staffed. Hey boss, maybe we are short staffed because we collect procrasinators as if we can win a trophy if we catch them all and the good people quit because you expect them to do double shifts because Mindy can't be bothered to do even the bare minimum because she knows she'll only get a slap on the wrist and can go on not doing anything. And I'm not talking about favouritism. I talk about weak pushover managers who cannot put their foot down and try to be everyone's friend instead of managing so they make excuses for even the laziest skip offs.
Before I came to work at my current company, there was someone who got fired for things like just not showing up, continually being late, etc etc (again before my time I don't have all the details.) We're a small company, and my bosses kept in touch with him (we're also a small field, so just about everyone in the field ends up getting to know each other). So naturally, they thought it was a brilliant idea to hire the brother of the person who was fired, on the recommendation of the person who was fired. And then *I* get chewed out when, surprise, the brother Also isn't capable of doing the job. Its been a year and he is STILL making mistakes that he should have cleared up in the first week, things I know he knows because I have told him multiple times. But he screws up and I get yelled at for it, despite the fact that I don't have any actual authority to address the behavior, and my boss, the owner of the company, doesn't follow through when I tell him about problems.

Throwing millions at RACE agenda with tens of work streams to support DIVERSITY & promote colleagues. But you don't qualify if you're any race minority other than black. Never felt so invisible in my life. Apparently there are only 2 correct races: black and white.
How about just hire/promote based on accomplishments. After all, you are all woke now. Don't need this diversity c**p. I want the best person. Not the the best (black/female/lgqrzt).

Please don't tell me about how you're going to go home and take your bra & shirt off and sit under a blanket by the fire after work. And PLEASE don't tell me that your husband doesn't think you need a blanket! I do not want to know this!!!
Co workers calling you at stupid early in the morning. I don't care that you were up at 4:30 am "waking the birds up". It is 6:00 am and I am going to enjoy my shower and morning coffee. There are socially acceptable times to call someone (unless in an emergency) and 6 am or past 5pm are not them
People saying "that's not my job" when doing something would just be a basic courtesy. It's not asking you to go above and beyond just to pick up a ringing phone and ask someone to hold for a minute. It's not stretching your job description for everyone to keep a shared workspace functional. Obviously this depends on the profession, but I work in a dental office and I've seen a lot of laziness that only hurts the morale of the office and in turn affects the patients/care negatively.
Constantly putting people on the schedule who either show up very late (upwards of 3 or 4 hours late) or no call no show. One guy called in sick the other day, said at least you have Xxxxx coming in so you won't be cleaning the store by yourself. Guess what? Xxxxx no called. Had to do the store by myself. It's a 6 hour job for two people...
This is not a big problem, but please, people, don't overshare. I had coworker, she was really nice lady, but she couldn't shut up about her family. I started working with her and after 30 minutes, I knew everything about them. Their names, whom her daughters are dating, her husband's favorite food, that her granddaughter has food allergy, everything about their hobbies, their shoe sizes...... I did not ask her, she just started talking about her family. Her daughter was pregnant, and when she gave birth, daughter's husband taking photos and videos and send it to my coworker, who showed it to everyone at work. It was sweet that she loved her family so much, but I don't really need to see video of her daughter giving birth.
This article makes me appreciate working from home - new since covid - even more. I swear half of these behaviours would be way harder working remotely. Plus, the fish-microwaving-monsters could fry their finny food to their hearts' content in their own homes.
There is an *extremely* nice and chatty older salesman in my office that regularly brings in breakfast for the entire building.
He's also the most morningest of morning people I've ever experienced in my 37 years of life. He'll take a lap every day and greet everybody. When somebody in my hall caught covid and the rest of us were masked up and isolating for a couple weeks, he would literally knock on a glass door to wave good morning at me. 20230109_1...92b8ce.jpg 
"you don't have to do more than you're paid to" "if you're just doing the bare minimum to not get fired" The cognitive dissonance is super real in this post. Those are literally the same thing.
