What I hate about my Japanese colleagues
Advertisementgoo Ranking performed a subject after my own heart, what behaviour of colleagues irritate people.
Demographics
Over the 22nd and 23rd of January 2010 1,102 members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 52.7% of the sample were female, 12.6% in their teens, 18.4% in their twenties, 27.9% in their thirties, 25.5% in their forties, 9.3% in their fifties, and 6.3% aged sixty or older. Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample.
I hate: them slurping coffee; shouting around the office rather than walking five paces to talk to someone; talking shop in the pub; sniffing rather than blowing their nose; longwindedness at meetings; undertaking bothersome work rather than asking if it is necessary; … I could go on all night!

Interesting survey, but It could be nice to know the percentage of colleagues with these type of behaviours too.
