"My spouse is an insomniac. So when they don't sleep well neither do I. So I have a few tricks to prevent fatigue, like keeping chocolate-covered espresso beans bedside, and another container on my desk. One of my coworkers was sneaking into my desk when I wasn't around and was helping themselves to my stash. When I asked, they denied it. One day I caught them in the act and they pretended they were looking for a pencil. I thought it was poor form going into my desk to help themselves, but lying about it I saw as lacking integrity. This individual didn't embrace our core values. All of that was pretty irritating."

Pet peeves, depending on the circumstance or the approach, can be something that benefits the team. For example, not washing your dishes in the break room or properly shutting down your workstation can harm morale and affect productivity. Display yourself as a team player, openly accepting everyone on your team. Objectify the situation, exhibiting an emotionally mature perspective. Offer how you navigated this terrain, leading to a successful outcome. Focus on the positives, and how the overall outcome benefited the team.
