Annoying Office HabitsRob: Well Jennifer, we’re here in our brand-new building. It’s quite impressive, isn’t it? Jennifer: Oh yes, it’s fantastic, really modern and very spacious, too. Rob: Yes, but isn’t there anything about the place that you find annoying? Jennifer: Well yes. Like every office, I suppose, there are lots of unwashed coffee cups on the desks and rubbish. I really hate that.

Rob:

Yeah, so not everything is perfect. Some people’s behavior can be a real irritation. I read about a survey recently that revealed the most annoying behavior found in offices. I’ll share it with you. But first, I have a question for you. Jennifer: That’s annoying—I always have to answer one of your questions before you tell me anything!

Rob:

You’ll love it, really! Do you know which of the following is the most annoying office habit? a) Tapping on the desk; b) Arriving late for meetings; c) Talking in jargon. Jennifer: I don’t like any of those habits. They’re all annoying. I’m going to go for a) tapping on the desk.

Rob:

Well, I’ll let you know the answer in a minute. The Institute of Management recently questioned 2,000 managers to find out their pet peeves about office workers. They listed tapping on the desk to be one of the top 10 most annoying office habits. In fact, any kind of tapping breaks concentration. But for the people doing the tapping, how can they kick the habit? They may not even be aware they’re doing it. So, perhaps we should have some sympathy? Jennifer: Yes, but one thing I don’t have sympathy with is talking in jargon.

Rob:

Yes, the survey found this issue to be near the top of the list. So, does your boss use jargon a lot? Jennifer: I couldn’t possibly say: He might be listening! But there is jargon that gets used generally. Do you know “thinking outside the box” means thinking imaginatively with new ideas instead of traditional ones? Rob: Yes, and “to touch base” meaning to discuss progress. I think some workers get irritated by this jargon because it’s not how someone would normally speak.

Jennifer: OK, Rob, what’s the top of the list of annoying hab

its? Rob: Well, according to the survey, the biggest bugbear is arriving late for meetings. I guess it is annoying if you have made an effort to be punctual. Jennifer: Yes, it is annoying to be kept waiting or if someone comes in late and disrupts everyone else.

Rob:

But if every office worker has a bugbear of some kind about their colleagues, who should sort out the tensions that will arise in the office? A bad atmosphere isn’t good, is it? Jennifer: I think the line managers should be responsible. People need to be able to air their grievances. And, I could tell what annoys me most about you… Rob: Sorry, Jen, we’re out of time!

罗 布：

你知道，世间无完美之事。有些人的行 为真是让人恼火。一项新的调查揭示了 一些最让人讨厌的办公室习惯，我来跟 你分享一下。但是我先问你一个问题。 珍尼弗： 真烦人——你告诉我之前总是要我回答 你的某个问题。

罗 布： 好吧，我马上让你知道答案。管理协会最 近对2000位经理做了问卷调查，想知道他 们最不能容忍办公室员工做哪些事情。他 们把敲桌子列入了最烦人的办公室习惯前 十名。事实上，任何一种敲打都会分散注 意力。但是对于喜欢敲打的人来讲，他 们怎样才能改掉这个习惯呢？他们也许 并没有意识到自己的行为，因此我们应 该要理解。 珍尼弗： 是的，但有一件我无法理解的事就是讲 行话。

罗 布：

是的，调查表明这

是接近最令人讨厌的 办公室习惯榜首的一个问题。你的老板 经常讲一些行话吗？ 珍尼弗： 我可不能乱讲，他有可能在听！但确实 有一些经常用的术语。你知道“盒子外 思考”其实指的是要富有想象力地思考， 用新的想法取代传统想法吗？ 罗 布： 是的，“触碰基地”的意思是商讨事情 的进展。我想员工们会对这些行话很恼 火，因为人们通常不会这样说话。

珍尼弗： 好吧，罗布，排名首位的让人讨厌的习 惯是什么？ 罗 布： 根据调查，最令人厌烦的事情就是开会 迟到。我猜当你努力做到守时而别人却 迟到一定很讨厌。 珍尼弗： 是的，一直被迫等待或某人进来晚了打 扰到别人真是讨人厌。

罗 布：

但是如果每一个办公室员工都对他们的 同事头痛，谁应该来舒缓这种紧张的办 公气氛？一个坏的工作氛围不是什么好 事情，对吧？ 珍尼弗： 我想直接主管们有责任去处理这些问题。 人们应该有机会表达自己的不满。好吧， 让我来告诉你我最烦你的是什么…… 罗 布： 对不起，珍，我们时间到了。
