'He's so by the book that I can't get [work] done': 20+ Coworkers who bring their bad habits into the workplace

Oh great, your least favorite coworker is in the office today. I bet just by reading that sentence, a person popped into your head. Maybe it's the dude who insists on taking personal phone calls all day long, repeating himself over and over. Or maybe your least favorite coworker is the woman who takes off her socks and shoes to rub her sore feet, leaving everyone else in the office mortified. Maybe you even have one of those dreaded coworkers who does literally nothing all day long, yet still complains about how busy they are. They're constantly creating more work for you, but they have time to hang out at your desk and chat for a half hour before heading back to their cubicle to watch YouTube videos. It's infuriating to say the least! 

The people below have some incredible, hilarious, and maddening stories about the habits their worst coworkers have adopted. You can read them all down below, and feel free to comment what your workplace foe does to annoy you.
