Pet Peeve #3 - Interruptions
Ask anyone (well most anyone) at work what my biggest workplace peeve is and they will tell you that I hate to be interrupted. If my door is shut, don't interrupt. GO AWAY. If I am on the phone, don't stand behind me and look through papers on my desk, listen to my conversation and wait for me to hang up. GO AWAY. If I am talking to someone else, don't say, "I hate to interrupt, but...". GO AWAY. If there are piles of work all over my desk and I look like I am pissed off, don't interrupt. GO AWAY.
Unless there is blood or smoke or a gun. Unless you are bringing me a diet cherry pepsi or want to discuss what we are doing for lunch, don't interrupt.
OK folks, repeat after me... GO AWAY!
