Pet peeves at my office I have a few office pet peeves that occasionally happen around me. One of the worst pet peeves I've been encountering is a sound of someone else typing on his/her keyboard. I am a little bit of guilty of making that kind of noise, but what bothers me is the sound of the special keyboard. There are different types of software engineers around me and a few of them are stuck to their own keyboards which are able to make loud clacking sounds. The worst of all I can not understand, at times, they work quietly during working hours and break a silence at lunch time! Actually, this may not that serious annoying thing in the workplace and it is not holding a high rank in the list of biggest pet peeves when I typed in google.

Great job! You definitely have a good handle on English. The biggest issue I see is the flow and wordiness of your paragraphs. If I was to rewrite this entry, I would write it similar to the following.

Pet Peeves at My Office

There are a few pet peeves at the office that I occasionally encounter. Of these, one of the worst ones that I have been encountering is the sound of someone typing on their keyboard. Honestly, I’m a bit guilty of this as well. There are a few software engineers that sit around me and a few of them are using their own personal keyboards. Some of these keyboards are special in that they can make loud clacking noises. To make things worse, the sound is kept to an acceptable level during normal working hours and only really peaks during lunch.


To be honest though, this issue may not be that serious. It definitely is not the worst one on my list.
