The temperature. It's always just cold enough in the building that I need to wear a jacket. Also the people who feel the need to eat stinky foods at their desk.

The most credible explanation of this bullshit I ever heard was that office air-conditioning systems were designed for the expectation that โ€”

  • men wore woolen suits all day
  • women wore long skirts and pantyhose
  • ... and men were in charge

None of this makes sense in a slacks-and-polo-shirt office, to say nothing of a shorts-and-T-shirt software development shop.
