Why you shouldn't chew gum while exercising: you might swallow it and fart....

well, I didn't know that. I wonder if you're kidding.. I mean like the rear view mirror in your car. anyhow...

Having a somewhat definite sense of your own personal space isn't too much to ask. Especially if you're required by your employer to keep track of things, papers, whatever. If you're supposed to have a space, then having something like this intrudes on the space. It's legitimate to act to have the intrusion removed. It's not a common complaint, for example, a radio playing in the next cube would be more readily understood. I have had people ask me to stop doing something that intruded on their space. It's ok to ask. It's also ok to ask someone else to ask.

I wish you luck.

To be fair you kept sticking your pecker into the gap between cubicles. How many times do you have to be told it isn't a glory hole?

Earplugs

I have earplugs for sleeping, though usually I get by just using a fan for ambient noise. Kind of presents the same problem as musical earbuds. I can't use them all the time, because I get massive headaches.

And I can't hear the shooter.

I wonder if anyone would mind if I brought in my radio that plays cricket sounds?

Buttplugs?

Would you recognise Lookout if you saw him?

I'd recognise his distinctive aroma of heartless wealth and downtrodden workers.

You'd probably hear my wicked laughter first as I ground up the bones of poor children.

That might take a long time in a student financial aid office.....

How about a nice note written on a cheery hallmark note card? Who could take offense to that?
