#1 The Dreaded "Reply All"

This is the queen mother of all office travesties. There's nothing worse than being unwittingly caught in an unending email thread fueled by ticked-off coworkers and hate fire. You can't escape.

#2 Loud music

This is the not-so-distant cousin. No one appreciates your secret passion for Justin Bieber.

#3 Horrible parking jobs

If you park so close to my car that I have to crawl in through the passenger's side door, chances are I'll be writing down your license plate number for future voodoo curse reference.

#4 When the bathroom is a hot mess

There's no need to detail the pure travesties we've all stumbled upon in the office restrooms, but seriously, get it together, people.

#5 People Who Enter the Elevator before Letting Others Exit

They trample people who try this on New York subways. Take note.

#6 Getting 10 emails when a brief face-to-face would suffice

What's wrong with a little human interaction every now and then?

#7 Office gossip

Don't lie, you've done it. But that doesn't make it any less high school.

#8 People holding the elevator door open to finish a conversation

We are all your hostages! Stop the madness!

#9 Passive Aggressive Emails

You aren't clever, so you can stop now.

#10 Co-workers with anger issues

Maybe these foul-mouthed fiends just need a hug...but maybe you should let someone else test that theory.

#11 Obnoxious personal phone conversations

Unless your cat is the next YouTube sensation, no one wants to be forced into listening to you blabber on about its furry hijinks.

#12 Co-workers clipping their nails at their desk

EWWW. Some things you just can't un-hear.

#13 Smelly lunches

Is there anything worse than being forced to smell your cubicle mate's questionable leftovers?

#14 Dishes in the break room sink

You can be a slob-kabob in your own kitchen all you want, but this is America and the land of the dishes-free work sinks.

#15 When the A/C isn't on high enough

As if being at work and wearing office attire weren't bad enough.

#16 Being the only one working late

You tried to dodge your boss Office Space-style, but you failed so, so miserably and now you must pay the soul-crushing price.

#17 Loud Talkers

We hear you!

#18 Having your food stolen from the break room fridge

Who does that?! Just hold onto the hope that karma will avenge the loss of your perfectly portioned granola yogurt.

#19 Finding an empty pot of coffee

It takes a cold-hearted happiness killer to deprive their fellow co-workers of freshly brewed caffeinated heaven.

#20 Gum smacking

There's just something about gum smacking that resembles the long-lost cousin of water torture.
