Asbos for offices

CommunityCare.co.uk is proposing the idea of a workplace Asbo or Wasbo.

They've put together a list of their top 10 anti-social office behaviours:

1. Speaking so loudly the whole of the office has to hear you

2. Telephone offences: Having loud personal phone calls or annoying ring tones

3. Stealing other people's mugs or stationery

4. Printer offences: Not refilling the printer after you've used all the paper or discarding other people's printouts

5. Offensive food smells - an office is not an appropriate place for scampi

6. Sending an email to someone you could just look up and talk to

7. Newspaper/magazine offences: Taking them to read in the toilet and putting them back in the pile or cutting out the job ads

8. Time fascism - looking at your watch when someone arrives late in the morning. Yes, I know I'm late!

9. Fag breaks - why do smokers get to take more breaks than everyone else?

10. The personal orchestra - humming, whistling, reading out your own e-mails

but frankly, if those are the worst things that happen in their office, they should be counting their lucky stars and their blessings and whatever.

Anyway, you can vote on which you find most annoying . Loud talking is currently the biggest culprit apparently.
