What are your pet peeves?

[Prudence]

Gah! Petty power trips!

So I'm at work. And I theoretically start at 7:30. And the lights are on. And it's clear that I'm here. And once again some VP's flunky comes by and turns them off, because it's not 8:00. Doesn't matter that I am officially scheduled to be working. Doesn't matter that with the lights out I can't see what I'm supposed to be doing. She has some damn control issues and her department takes up more of the floor than the department I'm in, and she doesn't want the lights on until 8 because I'm not important enough to merit electricity. No one can have lights until her department starts.

Of course, she has lights in her own office. It's just the overheads in cube farm land that she wants to keep off until her own people show up.
