The List of Don'ts for Sharing an Office

For those who share an office with others, it seems to me that people should follow common sense and try not to disturb their office-mates. This means: don't talk on the phone a lot, don't have other people over for social visits (or, if you do, go into the hallway or some other public space), don't play noisy games on your computer, don't use your cell phone to text people so that each letter you press becomes a chirping beep, don't use Skype to have long discussions with your relatives or friends in other countries, don't eat smelly food, and don't expect your office-mates to chat with you whenever you need a break or feel like having some conversation.

Doesn't all this seem obvious? Well, in my office, it apparently isn't. 'Nuff said about that.
