* Putting personal life before work. Everyone has emergencies from time to time. But it's annoying to have to repeatedly fill in for the colleague who is late every morning because he's checking on his home remodeling project, or who misses an entire afternoon because she scheduled a routine dentist appointment for 1:30 pm.

　　个人生活先于工作。每个人都会时不时有紧急事情，但有些情况让人恼怒，比如你总是要顶替一位每天早晨由于检查家庭装修而迟到的同事，或顶替下午1:30去看牙医而整个下午都没来的同事。

　　* Being late for meetings. People who show up 5 or 10 minutes late for a meeting cause a "domino effect," Davis said. Meetings later that day may be thrown off schedule because the earlier ones ran late. And people who show up on time feel their time is being wasted.

　　开会迟到。按Davis的话说，开会晚到5或10分钟会引起“多米诺”效应。因为前面的会议开晚了，那么当天安排在后面的会议的时间都会被打乱。而且准时到会的人也会感觉自己的时间被浪费了。

　　* Not taking care of health and hygiene. Leslie G. Griffen, an HR consultant and career coach, is sometimes hired by companies to approach an employee who doesn't bathe and ask them to improve their hygiene. The problem is twofold, said Griffen, principal of The Griffen Group. A sloppy appearance will cause a poor first impression. Also, "if your hygiene is bad, your health is probably bad," Griffen said. An added benefit of eating well and exercising: You'll have more energy.

　　不注意个人健康和卫生。人力资源顾问及职场教练Leslie G. Griffen有时候会应公司聘请去教导不洗澡的员工，要求他们改善个人卫生。Griffen Group公司总裁Griffen说，这个问题会带来双重恶果：懒散的外表会给人不好的第一印象，而且“如果你的个人卫生不好，那么健康或许也不好。”良好饮食及锻炼的一个额外好处是，你会有更多精力。

　　* Using inappropriate humor. Your coworkers may not appreciate your sense of humor. Skip the off-color or "racially targeted" jokes, Griffen said. And be careful about sensitive subjects such as politics and religion.

　　不适当的幽默。你的同事们可能并不欣赏你的幽默。Griffen说，避免那些下流或“具有种族歧视”的笑话，而且注意政治和宗教这些敏感话题。

　　* Not caring about your work. People like coworkers who are enthusiastic about what they do. Show that you take pride in your job by presenting yourself well, communicating clearly and doing your best work.

　　不关心自己的工作。人们喜欢对工作有热情的同事。用良好的举止、清晰的交流和最好的业绩来表现出你以工作为荣。
