Everyone has their pet peeve when it comes to the behavior of your coworkers.

Some common attributes of coworkers are, of course, endearing. There's the one who is always too cold and has a sweater on even if it's 80 degrees out. There's the one who has a funny yawn that's easy to imitate. And there's the owner of the cute office dog everyone loves.

Then, there's the repeated behavior that can drive you mad. For instance, there are the people who think they appear more professional than they are and enjoy bossing everyone around regardless of whether or not they have the agency to do so. There's the one who overshares at lunch and just makes everything awkward. And then, as one person in the comments of this thread mentioned, there's that coworker who desperately needs to bring their own deodorant into work. My Lord, this is especially true during the summer, so we all better prepare ourselves.
