Take action:
Steer clear of the following: talking loudly on the phone; asking a colleague how to spell a word, thereby disrupting their concentration; talking to yourself or singing to yourself; chipping in to a discussion that strictly speaking has nothing to do with you; when you’re stressed, assuming everyone else is, and when you’re not, assuming nobody else is either; breaking wind – remember, fumes travel; and disrespecting other people's privacy or property.
