Given that office work is a common form of employment on Lemmy, and given our higher-than average technical ability, I’m interested to hear what bothers you most.

For me: coworker says “I’m old fashioned” and refuses to employ the simplest keyboard shortcuts (using arrow keys to navigate excel, using Ctrl+C instead of the mouse, et cetera) and then complains about how much their wrist hurts because of their mouse.

I didn't much care for office lunch events, but the free food usually made up for it... except that time the boss got Chipoltle or whatever its called.

Chipotle is one thing. Chipotle catering is another thing entirely, and for the worse.
