Everyone with a job can relate when it comes to annoying coworker, you have your own standard for what considered as annoying, you're okay with laughing out loud, sneeze out loud or singing in your workspace, but the other might find it as a bit disturbing. Thus causing your coworker to feel better when you're not around them. That's just an example, here is some list about how you could accidentally make everyone hates you.
1. Hygiene
Are you the kind of people who never clean your desk or at least make it look organized? While you are perfectly okay with it, the other might not feel the same. There is dust everywhere and some Cheetos crumbs starting to grow fungus on it, the smell of spilled coffee and coke in your desk becoming stronger and stronger as it mixed with the smell of your body which haven't took a shower for the past 18 hours plus the clothes that you already used 4 times. You really need to get this things fixed, start with taking shower in the morning, use a cologne, cleaning up your desk, and put a little smile on that face.
2. Being A Condescending Jerk
You might be the smartest person in the room, but don't be so condescending by always proving other people wrong. Sometimes its good to just nod and agree, by doing that you make those person feel happy instead of hurting their feelings. "There's a way to stand out in a positive light without kicking everyone else into the abyss. Don't stop coming up with great ideas, but use your brilliance to foster the ideas of others and bring them up to your level without drawing the ire of the people you have to work with on a daily basis. If you continue to talk down to people you're bound to get a lot of middle fingers extended up to you in no time."
3. Lack Of Professionalism
Gossip, coming late, skip meeting is just a little example of whats called unprofessional. Eventually your coworker's gonna think that you are not qualified to work on the same office as they do. They will never take you seriously, every suggestion you throw in the meeting will never be considered seriously, you will be known as a recruitment mistake. What you should do is stop talking about people behind their back, be on time, and do a good manner. That is the least thing you should do to be the nucleus of your circle.
4. Backstabbing
So you barely contributes to the project, but you claim to be the only reason that makes the project so successful. Taking other peoples credit is the fastest way to be the most villain person at the workplace. You might get a promotion, but it wouldn't last long because sooner or later the management will know your true colors and you might got fired.
