Tea making is biggest cause of office arguments

The ever-annoying question "Who is making the tea?" has been found to be the biggest cause of office arguments in Britain.

A survey over 3,000 office workers discovered that a massive 60% of office fall-outs were prompted by arguments over whose turn it was to brew-up.

The poll also revealed there are on average two minor spats a day in offices and that women are more likely to fall out with colleagues than men.

Sarcastic comments were the second most likely thing to trigger an office fight, followed by rudeness and lateness.

Which means if you make a rude and sarcastic comment about someone being late to make the tea, you know what you are letting yourself in for.

A spokesman for OnePoll, which carried out the research among 3,000 employees, said: "Tea-making can be a touchy subject and it is one many people fall out over

"Accusations of taking tea but not making tea are common place and often staff refuse to make a brew for people they have fallen out with.

"Sarcasm is also a major bug-bear for workers and is guaranteed to rub colleagues up the wrong way."
