"She constantly snaps her chewing gum while talking on the phone all day to her friends.""He eats yogurt every day, and even when the cup is empty, he continues to scrape the bottom with a plastic spoon.""She wipes her nose on her sleeve.""He has a bizarre style of laughing, and seems to laugh at everything."These are real complaints about real people's coworkers sent to career coach, author and speaker Ford R. Myers -- and boy, do they sound annoying."This is definitely a hot-button issue. I get more emails about annoying co-workers than I do about any other topic -- people have a lot of pent-up frustration and anger about these behaviors, but they don't feel they have any outlet.
