"Who took my pen?"
When it comes to the workplace, Irish people sweat the small stuff with the biggest 'headache-inducing' incident being when a pen is taken from the desk by a colleague (39%). Finding crumbs in the keyboard is also considered a 'headache' for 22% of Irish people.
On driving to work, half (50%) of the survey’s respondents voted the car becoming messy with rubbish as the biggest car related 'headache', while 32% find that the windscreen becoming dirty with grime and dead bugs is the worst.
