Reasons I hate open plan offices #21036:
Someone is having a very serious conversation with their manager less than 10 feet from me, and I just blasted Girls on Film by Duran Duran across the office during a particularly serious moment while trying to put on some music so that I wasn't eavesdropping.
(It turned out my headphones had switched off because I hadn't used them for a while.)
If anyone needs me, I'll be getting extensive cosmetic surgery and making a new life far away.
