I've got one inconsiderate mother fucker up here who reheats fish in the microwave at least twice a week.

I work with a woman who spends more time paying attention to what everyone else is "not doing" rather than just doing her own job. She's the type of person to go to the manager as say "____ is 10 minutes late, is he okay?" When in reality she just wants to make sure our manager knows a co-worker is late. It truly disgusts me, the nature of this woman. She has worked at this company for 30 years and from what I've heard they keep her around simply because of that reason. The value she adds to the department is little to none.

So basically she is the company spy?
Maybe you and some cubemates should start watching her and find something that's up, or hell just make something up. Put a couple empty airplane bottles of booze in her desk at the end of her shift so the cleaning staff will find it.

It's not me cause I don't chew gum at work, but I'm one of those people. I'm sorry.

Most of my co workers annoy me, but I am also a total miserable fuck, so maybe it's just me. Examples:
Guy in front of me likes to interrupt my work when I have my earbuds in to talk about nothing in particular. I feel like if my headphones are in, that means don't talk to me unless you have work related problems. This happens a few times a day.
One dude likes to come up with completely outlandish facts and stories that have no basis in reality and are mainly off of hearsay. These have included the following - "Ronda Rousey just opened a kickboxing gym in Johnston, RI" , "M&M shells are made from pulverized beetles", and "Sierra Nevada brews their beer in America, but sends it to Europe to bottle/can it." He also recently made a blunder by advising a coworker that he would be getting a confederate flag tattoo "but not in a racist way."
An older lady in the front of my room likes to point out the obvious. Like if I'm changing into my gym clothes for when I leave work "OH SOMEBODYS HITTIN THE GYM" or if I get a haircut "SOMEBODY GOT A HAIRCUT, SOMEBODY GOT A HAIRCUT". She's Ok though because I like to eat her candy. But if the candy was nonexistent, she would be beyond awful.
Our mail clerk is a royal dummy, can't do anything right, and has occasionally in the past forced me to listen to music. Musical genres I have never even professed to like, such as jazz fusion, reggae, and lounge music. Forces me at times to also listen to her stories about how she runs. And runs. And runs some more. HATE.
Finally, my favorite is my team lead, who loves to hum. LOUDLY. SO LOUD.
tl;dr want to kill myself

Told this story before, but repeating it because everyone must know my hate:
We hired this girl a couple years ago. When she first started, she seemed fine, but something about the way her buggy eyes coupled with the way she vacantly smiles set me off. It started with little annoying things: I noticed she was overly eager, constantly being the first to volunteer to accomplish some work task despite having no experience in our daily working environment. She would thrust herself into the middle of a two-person conversation. Every time she used her calculator she'd verbally say the numbers she was punching in. She spoke at an unreasonably high volume. She types in ALL CAPS for every single one of her e-mails.
But then... I started to notice something else. I work in a pretty open office. Everyone can pretty much see and hear everyone else, including when they're on the phone. Every time she was on the phone with a client, I would hear her conversation go like this: "perfect... perfect... yup, perfect... okay, perfect!" I looked up to see if anyone else had noticed that this lady literally used the word "perfect" about ten times in a 45 second phone call. Nope, didn't seem to affect anyone else but me. I thought maybe I was imagining things or it was just that one phone call, but it happened every call, every day. I would grind my teeth for weeks every time she picked up the phone. It was haunting me: "Perfect!" "Perfect!" "Okay, PERFECT!" It wasn't so much the amount of times she said it as much as the way she said it: "pur-FECT!" with an unnecessary emphasis on the "fect."
Soon, her phone calls became nothing but fillers: "Perfect... exactly... great... sounds good... PERFECT..." She started to fill silence with loud sighs as if the weight of the world was bearing down on her. There were so many things that annoyed me about her that I actually made a check-off list. I once counted her saying "perfect" 45 times in one day and I wasn't even actively listening.
And then there's the small talk. Oh god, the small talk. "How was traffic coming in?" "The weather has been gorgeous lately, hasn't it?" "Do you find the internet slow?" This bitch never actually says anything. Her entire conversations are based off small talk which I absolutely abhor.
Anyway, there's so much more to this woman that just makes my blood boil. But I think I've already taken too much time to answer the question. I also probably come off as crazy myself when I write about how much energy I put into hating this one person.
tl;dr: PERFECT
And if you think I'm exaggerating about the phone calls, I did in fact record a snippet of one: http://vocaroo.com/i/s1LoEV6p1sGs. If you lost count, that's 11 PERFECTs in the span of 43 seconds.

Talks on the phone nonstop while ignoring residents which causes me to have to do everything.
