'Microwaving old fish meals': 20+ annoying coworkers and their strange habits

There's a silent code of conduct people should have with their neighboring coworkers, and when someone breaks that code of conduct, things are bound to become toxic very quickly. Surprisingly enough, there are countless ways in which coworkers can break said code of conduct. Just check out this r/AskReddit thread for your reference.

 

Some of these coworkers should not only be fired for their behavior, but also they should be barred from ever being able to walk into a collaborative work environment again. These wild actions include eating fishy meals next to you during lunch, clipping fingernails and toenails right there in front of everyone, and even refusing to use deodorants before work. Part of me has to feel that these folks are trolling the other employees in the office because who lacks so much self-awareness that they would bring out leftover fish or toenail clippers in public?! 

 

Personally, I'm the type of person who gets insecure when I bring out my innocent Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich for lunch. I could never imagine having the audacity to direct that kind of attention to myself. The only valid explanation I can think of is if these folks want to get reported to HR and want to get fired. Nothing else can possibly justify this. Even the coworker who is consistently falling asleep at his desk has got to get control of himself. Your snoring is disruptive, sir!
