Employees who constantly use work time to surf the internet or who hit "reply all" on emails are among the biggest irritants at work, a new survey has found.
Surfing the internet was in second on the list of annoyances, closely following the practice of gossiping, the poll from Harris Interactive found. Messiness, loud noises and misuse of email were also among the most annoying habits once could have in an office, the survey discovered. The research was conducted on the behalf of the staffing firm Randstad.
Eric Buntin, managing director of marketing and operations for Randstad, told Reuters: "If you were sitting in your office with the door closed no one would be able to hear you unless you were very loud but if you open the door then people hear everything, blurring the lines between personal and work lives."

The internet advertising sector in the US is to grow by 29.9 percent this year, according to the media planning firm ZenithOptimedia.
This is a rise on what the firm predicted three months ago, when they forecast that internet advertising would expand by 28.6 percent. Overall, between 2006 and 2009 the firm said that internet advertising would grow by some 85 percent. In 2009, expenditure on internet advertising will make up a full 9.5 percent of total expenditure.
However, the advertising sector in general in the US is to experience a wane, as a result of the housing downturn and the chaos in the credit market. Television will continue to see its share of the ad market decrease, ZenithOptimedia predicted. The company stated: "In 2008 we expect television's share of ad expenditure to fall 0.3 percentage points to 32.4 percent in North America, and 0.5 percentage points to 30.4 percent in western Europe."

The ruling military junta in Burma has been attempting to shut down all internet access in the country, it has been reported.
It is attempting to stop the flow of information regarding the chaos taking place that has been steadily emanating from the country over the internet. Cyber cafes have been closed and some mobile phone networks have been shut down, which has substantially cut the flow of information. However, both blogs and pictures regarding the upheaval that has been taking place in Burma over the last few weeks have gotten through.
Vincent Brussels, head of the Asian section of press freedom organization Reporters Without Borders, told the BBC: "It is amazing how the Burmese are able through underground networks to get things from outside and inside." "Before, they were moving things hand-to-hand and now they are using the internet." Thousands of protesters are still thronging the streets of Rangoon after widespread reports of monks being beaten and arrested last night.
