People do some dumb things while they're on the job so on today’s Buzz List an article from the  investment website The Motley Fool looks at the things you should never do at work. Kristina Guerrero and Jared Cotter picked their three favorites that you should never, ever do at the office because your co-workers hate it.

3.  Coming in Sick

We've all done it before. It's hard not to sometimes with deadlines and what not. If you're a little stuffy fine, but any fever or coughing, keep your butt at home. However the article had some solid advice. Call your supervisor and tell them you're well enough to work, but carrying germs. They just might let you work from home for the day.

2.  Being an Overachiever

Everyone appreciates a hard worker, but take on too much and you risk burning yourself out or botching the task. Also, people might start catching on and opportunistic co-workers might try to take advantage of you.

1.  Stealing Co-Workers’ Food

That's so messed up, but it actually happens quite often. If you see a yummy meal in the fridge just let it be. It’s not for you. You jack someone's lunch sack and you're off the team.
