coworkers

Some of the things my coworkers confuse/annoy/disgust/amuse/shock me...

• blatantly nap at their desks
• pick their ears (with fingers and/or ear digger devices)
• cut their nails
• talk to themselves
• blow their noses (loudly)
• hack up a storm and not cover their mouths/wear masks
• brush teeth/gargle/spit in the sink where i wash my hands
• flush the toilet before peeing so as not to let anyone hear the actual trickle of their pee (save the whales!)
• not fully close their mouths when chewing food so as to make an audible (re: disgust-inducing) noise
• picking at scabs on their faces (okay, this is just one coworker)
• creepily looking in my direction and quickly looking away when i make eye contact (same coworker as above)

Nice things my coworkers do...

• give me food/sweets/omiyage
• smile and attempt to speak to me in broken english/japanese (oh! good morning to you too!)

--- surprisingly, I think the nice things outweigh the not so nice ones. :)
