    Not gonna lie, I'd be driven nuts if I were him too. I doubt I'd be aggressive like that about it, but I certainly get annoyed when co-workers eat particularly nasty smelling food in the workplace.

    I save my smelly fish and veggies for my home meals (for the record I love eating these things, but the smell is certainly offensive when it's not your meal).

    Agreed. There are two kinds of fish acceptable to eat in the workplace: Pepperidge Farms Goldfish and Swedish Fish.

    Wave*

    My supervisor is on the phone as I type. I have two co-workers chattering behind me non-stop in a language I do not understand.

    Yes, it is cubicle hell.

    Ugh, I have a woman to the right of me can't decide on which language she wants to use for her personal calls. About every 5 words is English then back to Bosnian.

    Got my own office. I don't play well with others. When I shut the door, everyone knows to leave me alone. If they have a question, they wait until I open the door.

    By the way, my door is shut right now.

    My department is 5 desks sitting together in a room. I wish I had a cubicle so it would be easier to ignore my coworkers and play on the internet :drinker:

    I don't technically have a cubicle. But I work completely alone in a room that is temp. controlled because of the artifacts (I work at a museum). So I'm cold all the time. And there are no windows anywhere.

    Similar. I work in a climate controlled lab with engineers and scientists. It's always so freaking cold in here! We live in cubicle world but our lab is separated from the other inmates by glass walls/doors (since we have to remain climate controlled). Luckily my 5 cell mates are awesome.

    I do.

    I drive 1.25 hours to work; sit in a cubicle in front of my computer under florescent lights with no windows, sunlight or fresh air from 8am to 5pm; then make the 1.25 hour drive home... Sighhhh I live for the weekend.

    A cubicle would allow for a little more privacy over the fish bowl we work in. A glassed in office with three other people does allow for conversation but no privacy so those "workout at your desk" ideas are useless.

    Ugh haha I'm set up in a cubicle very open to the rest of the room, so I always have people walking around behind and next to me. It's incredibly distracting and nerve wracking.

    Most days I work from my home office, which is awesome, of course (other than my son thinking I'm a "stay at home mom" and that I'm at his beck and call--that sucks).

    One day a week I go into an office where we are in "open space"--we all used to have offices but they took them away to promote collaboration. It's not actually so bad because we've learned to live with it and we're all in the same boat.

    One other day a week I go to another facility where I have a cubicle in the midst of many offices--this sucks because, although the people in the offices *could* hold meetings and telecons with their doors closed, they do not. In fact, I was just about to go into full rage mode about 20 minutes ago for this very reason.

    Here, they aren't even called cubicles.

    Just "cubes".

    As in, "Get back in your cube!"

    I used to when I worked in the call center industry. One day a friend I worked with sent me this:
