There is something ever so slightly disturbing about the fact that your everyday colleagues (not the ones you socialise with outside work) know and remember the little details of your life more than the person you're meant to be sharing it with.
Take tea. Do you ever wish your partner would go a little easy on the milk in your morning tea? Isn't it frustrating that he or she can't quite make a brew exactly how you like it? And, by contrast, the bloke who sits next to you at work routinely brings you a perfect cuppa just when you need it and just how you like it?
Recruitment agency Office Angels says colleagues are more likely to remember your milk-to-tea ratio off by heart, what you like for lunch and what you've got planned for the weekend, whereas him or her indoors can't quite remember if you take sugar or not.
Then again, it's no wonder – after all, we do spend more or less eight hours a day, five days a week with our colleagues. So even if you don't particularly set out to be best buds with your boss, they probably know more about you than you realise.
How well do you know your colleagues' daily habits, annoying or otherwise? And are there things you really wish you didn't know?
