The amount of times I see some phone zombie strolling nonchalantly across roads and junctions without even looking to see if there are any cars coming because they're so engrossed with their phones, infuriatingself centred ignorant people who walk round whilst focussed solely on their phones, not paying any attention to the world around them, and then glare at you because they stumble into your path or similar cos they're not paying any attention to where the fuck they're going or what is around them.

Loud eaters trump all of that, especially on Teams calls every day at 8am. Eat ya breakfast at home not on a call pleeeease!!Doing my third consecutive office day today so... People who have their system sounds on (Ping, Ping fucking Ping!). People with zero volume control on a call or in a meeting (I shouldn't be able to hear you from 20 feet away, especially when I have my earphones in). And my perennial favourite Murder she wrote typists, you're using a soft touch keyboard you don't need to come down on it from three feet in the air.
Mute the mic, turn off the camera and plenty of Teams calls quickly turn into me time instead. I've even showered through one before.Loud eaters trump all of that, especially on Teams calls every day at 8am. Eat ya breakfast at home not on a call pleeeease!!

Maybe they don't have time to sit somewhere else and eat? Maybe their schedule dictates that they just have to cram something in somewhere along the way?For me it’s anyone who eats while working, at a desk, or while sat next to you on a train, or just… anywhere other than at a suitable table, away from everyone else who isn’t. And why do you have to eat relentlessly anyway, looks like mealtimes have been replaced with shovelling crap in 24/7.
Anyway, I don’t want to smell your food, or watch you stuff your face, or listen to you try and have a conversation whilst cement-mixering a gob full of food. Another one that’s lost with the decline in basic manners unfortunately.
Unfortunately, cameras have to be turned on during the meeting, although some often do mute their mic, you can obviously see them munching on snacks or whatever and when it's their turn to talk you tend to hear a mix of speech and crunch!Mute the mic, turn off the camera and plenty of Teams calls quickly turn into me time instead.

Then they need to learn how to manage their time better...Maybe they don't have time to sit somewhere else and eat? Maybe their schedule dictates that they just have to cram something in somewhere along the way?
You can mute other peoples mics if they are being noisy buggers.Unfortunately, cameras have to be turned on during the meeting, although some often do mute their mic, you can obviously see them munching on snacks or whatever and when it's their turn to talk you tend to hear a mix of speech and crunch!
its that or make eye contact with other people though.. If you can’t go without staring at your phone screen then I think you may have a problem.
Same arrangement, I obviously work with a load of wankers though unfortunately. Either that or I'm easily irritated by basically every other person on the planet...I feel like I have the balance right now, after 2 years or so of WFH every day I now work 3 days in the office and 2 WFH.
It's good to be around people, but not too much they piss you off.
