11 Things We're Not Looking Forward To This Week (PHOTOS)

First Posted: 08/01/11 11:47 AM ET   Updated: 10/01/11 06:12 AM ET

It's Monday, it's summer and we're back in the office. Oh, joy.

Since the dawn of time, working stiffs have been annoyed by the same basic things day-in and day-out: the awkward and annoying conversations, the technology that never quite works, the random yoga ball in that one cubicle that someone actually uses from time to time. Of course, it's better to have a job than not, but it doesn't make these corporate annoyances any less grating.

So we thought we'd do a quick salute to those little pleasures everyone who works in an office would prefer to avoid this week. Let us know if you have any to add; we're sure we missed one or two soul-crushers.

Trimming nails at your desk. When I worked in cubeland, a colleague and I would always joke to cover our coffees from the shrapnel. Funny, but disgusting.

I was going to say the same thing, though not as wittily. Well done. I personally don't know anyone who could relate to this slideshow.

i just had to stop mid-slides to tell whoever wrote this I LOVED their use of the phrase "cray cray" on the coffee run slide. I had to shut my office door though, so I didn't raise suspicion with all the laughing....back to, um, work, now...

Most importantly: the debt deal.
