世論 What Japan Thinks

This latest survey from goo Ranking looked at what aspects of current coworkers do they hate.

Demographics

Between the 21st and 24th of May 2010 1,152 members of the goo Research online monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 61.0% of the sample were male, 11.2% in their teens, 20.7% in their twenties, 28.8% in their thirties, 21.8% in their forties, 10.2% in their fifties, and 7.3% 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.

My complaints would be constant sniffing and passive-aggressive behaviour. I’d also admit to doing more than one or two of the activities on the list…
