Cubicle Etiquette

csb · Oct 20, 2014

It seems like we had something like this, but I can't find it. What are the rules for cubicle etiquette?

I'll start:

1. No e-cigarettes at your motherlovin' desk!

2. No Batin

Keep the perfume/cologne to a minimum.

It might taste like chicken, but it smells like !#$%

Reheating fish in the office microwave is a fire-able offense.

Fart somewhere else.

Cell phones on vibrate and no speaker calls!

If you need music while you work you better have headphones...and even then I shouldn't hear the music blaring from said headphones.

Trim nails at home

I don't care how quiet you are, do not sing at your desk!

This is probably a bad idea and will get you reported to HR.

Ramnares P.E. · Oct 21, 2014

This should be fair play for any breaches of cubicle etiquette...

take personal calls outside...no one needs to hear about medical procedures you are planning or just had...or for family members either

This. I mean, why not bathe in your cubicle too? Gross.

Ramnares P.E. · Oct 21, 2014

This is only acceptable for smoking hot coworkers...and don't we all know that NYC is still trying to ban supersized sodas?

You'd be surprised how many times I've seen this on the subway in NYC. Not much worst than being attacked by a clipped nail while sitting/standing next to someone.

If you are eating in your cube, I don't need to hear about it with smacking/slurping.

Road Guy · Oct 21, 2014

I like to leave my office and go to the cube dwellers and complain about how quiet and hot it is in my office

I do this when the survey field crew comes in from either a frigid day or a hotter than hell day. usually goes over well.

My irate speaker phone calls were what landed me an office!
