Cubicle Etiquette
I know there are a ton of you out there working in those small ass cubicles like me (well, mine is a little spacious). But there is always a conversation going on on the other side of that cloth wall that you could have gone without hearing... a meal that someone warmed up that has the office reeking of hot spices and salty juice... too personal phone conversations, like the results of your pap smear. You catch my drift!
What are some things that people do in their cubicles that deserve a calling out?

I used to have to deal with working in a small office as my last job and we were so crammed together without cubicles that I could see who was or wasn't really working at all. It drove me crazy. Now I work in a MUCH better work environment with lots of space. No cubicles so we can see each other but we still have our own space. The one bad thing is since I don't have an actual office, it's hard to talk on the phone at all without my boss (who sits across from me in her office) hearing me. I usually don't talk on the phone because of it!

Yea that sucks. Our job hired a ridic amount of ppl in the last few weeks, that are all starting next Monday. Sadly, we have to "bunk up" until we move to our office.

I put on headphones when I'm at work, and put one of those little bike mirrors on my monitor so I can see when someone wants my attention behind me. I can't stand some of the conversations that a few of the help desk people that I work next to will have, either with their friends or with stores having issues.
On the other hand... I've gotten quite proficient at throwing NERF footballs at some of my coworkers over cube walls from across the room... O:-)

Our mailman at our office gave me a detailed description of his colonoscopy. TMI at its finest.

How about people playing their music WAY too fucking loudly? I get so tired of listening to everyone else's radios! If everyone played their music at a reasonable volume, we could all listen to whatever we liked. Unfortunately, the people in my office don't understand that, and it makes me want to stab them in the face.

A Random Convo from last week: (ON THE SPEAKERPHONE WITH SOMEONE DOWN THE HALL)
Woman 1: "Girl, don't you know that he was sleeping with her sister, she beat him down good. "
Woman 2: "Oh HELL no! *cackle* What did he think was going to happen, messing around in the family like that?"
W1: "Oh, don't worry he got his. You know that bandaid he got stuck to the top of his lip like that, telling everybody that he fell on his boat last weekend?"
W2: "uh huh..."
W1: "Herpes. Sister's a damn whore. And THAT'S what he gets!"

I sit a cloth wall away from the IT department and the head IT-person LOVES the sound of his own flippin' voice.
It's bad enough even when you don't know he sounds like Ben Stein.
It was awesome for a while, when people didn't know I spoke Spanish, they chose to do all their gossiping in my corner of the office. One well placed Como no? Claro que si. Gracias. De Nada and that was done for good.
Cubicle people have been a source of blog material for me in the past.
It's a never-ending well.
