Have you ever been annoyed by a co-worker? Have you ever complained that a co-worker smelled like road ramps? That’s just one of the weirdest employee complaints reported in a new survey.

A recent survey from CareerBuilder asked hiring managers to cite some examples of the oddest complaints they received from employees. These included:

  • Employee is too sun-tanned
  • Employee has big hair
  • Employee eats all the good cookies
  • Employee is so polite, it’s infuriating
  • Employee suspected co-worker is a pimp
  • Employee is trying to poison me
  • Employee’s body is magnetic and keeps de-activating my magnetic access card
  • Employee is personally responsible for a federally-mandated tax increase
  • Employee was annoyed the company didn’t provide a place for naps during break time
  • Employee only wears slippers or socks at work
  • Employee’s aura is wrong
  • Employee smells like road ramps
  • Employee breathes too loudly
  • Employee wants to check a co-worker for ticks
  • 8:00 a.m. is too early to get up for work
  • Employee wore pajamas to work
  • Employee has bells on her shoes and it’s not the holidays
  • Co-worker reminded the employee too much of Bambi
  • Employee spends too much time caring for stray cats around the building
  • A male employee keeps using the ladies’ room because the men’s room is not as tidy

The survey was conducted by Harris Interactive from May to June and included 2,667 hiring managers and HR professionals.
