•When you have your way that works for you to accomplish something that somebody else does differently, and they insist on you doing things their way even though the end result would be the same regardless of which way you did it.
There are definitely times when there is a legit right way to do something vs a wrong way, but there are also definitely times when people insist on just adding unnecessary time and work to what you're already doing for absolutely no reason.
Like, if you're doing something kind of hectic, and you have tools or equipment you temporarily placed a certain way for a good reason, but it bothers somebody else to see them placed that way, and they insist on you adding additional steps to your own task instead of just leaving shit alone and letting you finish what you're already doing. If it's related to a safety or contamination issue, I get it, but if not, it seems pretty unnecessary. This is especially infuriating when the situation is reversed and the same people break their own unnecessary rules (like it's somehow different because it's them having to deal with something stressful and hectic?).
•When people act petty for absolutely no reason. Sometimes I intentionally set stuff out so I can have it all ready to use the next day. I try to avoid doing this if there is a good chance somebody else might actually need it, but, it saves me time and trips back and forth between PPE and non PPE areas when I can just grab everything and don't have to go back and grab something I forgot. There have been a few times where I'll have everything laid out and ready to use (on my own work area), and I'll come in ready to just grab what I need and get started, only to find every item I had ready to go has been moved. What are the chances I neatly laid multiple items out on my own desk or work space before leaving, simply because I just forgot them or wasn't bothering to clean up after myself?
•Having to sit in one uncomfortable spot, surrounded by other people and distractions to work on something that can 100% done on a laptop at home (or anywhere else).
