Do You Find The Next Desk Neighbor’s Habits Annoying?

Some office workers feel that their colleague at the next desk is so annoying and they even move from their seat. About 38 percentages of the office people complained about colleagues they sat next to. Some people complain about their next desk neighbour confronting them about their behaviour or habits or even asking to be moved.

The workers spend an average 1,332 hours a year sitting at their desks. The strain may often surface in the form of annoyance. The complaints included colleagues who talked too much, moaned, stole items of stationery or were too nosy. The workers said they were distracted by colleagues who dealt with personal affairs in the office without any discretion, talked too loudly on the phone, ate noisily, sucked up to bosses or left their desks in a messy state.

On the other hand nearly half described their colleagues as supportive, especially during stressful times at work and at home. Many people became good friends with work colleagues, and a similar number believed they had learned new skills from a colleague. It is no surprise that there are plenty of workers who have good working relationships with colleagues, and it is a known fact that many people meet their partners or closest friends in the workplace.
