Following up on this post from Andrea Contino, which appeared in my RSS feed last week, here is my list of 10 “first-world problems” I don’t appreciate.
- People who don’t close a door after walking through it.
- A dual-monitor setup where the monitors are connected vertically and aren’t horizontally aligned.
- People who call on a speakerphone in public.
- People who misbehave toward public servants and hospitally personel.
- LinkedIn, the place where everyone has the best job/employer ever until they sign up for their next job. It’s one big show-your-ego network.
- People who show up late.
- Audio messages instead of a text message.
- A desk that isn’t properly organized.
- PowerPoint presentations where the slide content isn’t aligned to the grid and where consistency is missing from slide to slide. You’ll lose my attention right away.
- Emails from non-native English speakers that are full of em dashes (—). I know within a second that you didn’t write the response yourself.
