Many people get allergies, asthma, and migraines that are triggered by perfume.

He announced his presence by proclaiming his sinuses are acting up so I've been treated to non-stop LOUD nose blowing and throat clearing for the past half hour. I'm shocked that anyone can have that much mucus, I swear he's probably a pound lighter than when he came in. Our admin couldn't take it anymore, she went to "check on something in the mail room"

Listening to that is torture!

He must be eating a ton of dairy. Is he overweight?

I second the smoke breaks. It's rude.

Loud, protracted telephone arguments with SOs, kids, etc.

At least now everyone has cellphones so they don't have to have these conversations around their coworkers.

Putting a caller on speakerphone when you're not in a private office. Inconsiderate of co-workers and unprofessional to not let the caller know that you did that.

when people take smoke breaks all day long...do I get a break every hour to go do something I find relaxing? like reading a book? I'll just take off and be back in like 5-10 mins. . .you'll find me reading a book and enjoying some peace and quiet outside on a bench.

lol I like your way of thinking!

Why can't women be proud and own their bodies instead of being ashamed of them? I don't go out of my way to buy low cut tops but sometimes there's no hiding them. I shouldn't feel ashamed in the office because of it. It seems like a backwards thing when it comes to womens rights in the workplace.

This. I can show cleavage in a t shirt, I kid you not. Its not purposeful. The same shirt on a flat chested woman would be completely innocuous. I'm not going to wear turtlenecks every day to placate your sensitive eyes.

Well, as a DD chest, I am. Not turtlenecks exactly but I don't wear anything that shows cleavage. Which means I have a much harder time shopping than smaller-chested women. But I do it anyway because cleavage is not professional -- at least not in law.

+1 Get yourself some button-up work shirts, ladies. And make sure they are well-tailored so they do not gap open at the buttons. Voila, professional.

Viola, boring and frumpy! Again, I'm going to wear the same shirts as everyone else. They're going to show a little more chest because...dun dun duh...I have a little more chest! Should people with huge asses have to wear pants that make it appear that they don't have what they have? I'm not dressed like I'm going to the club, but I am dressed like I'm a woman. I don't need to wear Oxford shirts everyday to hide that fact.

I have a huge ass. Does this mean it's ok to let half of it hang out all day at work?

You all sound like caged animals.

Humans were not meant to be cubed up all day like beasts.

This.

Our administrative assistant has decorated her office to look like the "beach house I've always wanted". She has seashells everywhere, a sisal rug, and those stained glass wind chime thingies.

Why does your admin assistant have her own office? There's your first problem.
