Annoying habits?

A study of 16 countries has unearthed the biggest causes of irritation for office workers, while revealing the UK to be the 10th most irritated workforce!

UK workers are most annoyed by colleagues complaining about their work, with American employees concerned by people stealing their food from the office fridge! In India annoying phone ringtones were found to be the main cause of irritation.

Interestingly, 51% of UK females confessed to being annoyed by inappropriately revealing clothing in the workplace, contrasted with just 21% of male respondents!

Ineffective technology has also proved irritating, with 68% of workers struggling with snail-paced systems and others frequently battling paper-jams and unwanted emails.
