The biggest office biccie faux-pas…

-

THERE are plenty of things work colleagues do that can infuriate us – but it seems dunking takes the biscuit.

Dipping your digestive in a cup of tea is a definite a no-no, according to a study of office habits. Opening a packet of custard creams you didn’t buy is also frowned upon.

More than a quarter of workers say biscuits are their favourite office snack, the report by McVitie’s reveals – but practices that are accepted in one’s own home may be deeply annoying in the workplace.

While 71% of us confess to being ‘dunkers’, one in five admit they would disapprove of a colleague who dunked a biscuit in a meeting.

Leaving crumbs on someone’s desk was found to be the biggest faux-pas (38%).
