The Top 5 Ways To Annoy Your Coworkers In Michigan
Getting up for work every day is already a struggle for many Michigan residents.
Picture this: it’s another day at the office. You’re sipping coffee, making small talk, and then BAM—your coworker decides to microwave fish. Or maybe someone hasn’t cleaned the breakroom or the bathroom, and the sink looks like a science experiment.
Well, according to a new Fortune survey, you’re not alone in your frustration.

Michigan Workers Should Avoid These Things
Turns out, Michiganders aren’t too bothered by tardiness, but five other coworker crimes grind our collective gears.
At the top of the list? Not cleaning up after yourself.
A whopping 88% of people surveyed said their messy coworkers drive them up the wall. Seriously, if you can’t manage to clean out the coffee pot, who hurt you? If you made the mess, clean it. DUH!
Close behind, in second, is gossiping—because nothing says "professional workplace" like turning the breakroom into an episode of Real Housewives. This annoyance scored an 81% eye-roll rate.
Third on the list: using inappropriate language (78%). Now, I get it—Michigan winters can make you curse like a sailor. But maybe save the four-letter words for the snowstorm, not the staff meeting.
Finally, we’ve got a tie for fourth place at 77%: being late to meetings and not answering messages promptly.
If you’re ghosting emails or showing up late with your Starbucks cup in hand, your coworkers are probably plotting revenge—politely, of course, because it’s Michigan.
So, here’s the takeaway: clean up your mess, zip the gossip, and answer that email already.
It’s not rocket science, just coworker survival 101!
