I have some coworkers who like to talk “Animé”. I could put my headphones on and tune it out. Now they chat about it, and since we use the chat for work, have to read about it. (Until about 6 mos. ago I never knew there was such a thing as Squirrel Girl.)
And they’re about as productive! They seem to have the same work ethic as some of the people I used to work with. Just like the old saying about owning a boat: The two happiest days of my career were the day I got hired and the day I retired!
The advantage is that now, if I need to belch (or worse), I don’t need to worry about it offending anyone else. (And that becomes more of an issue the older I get…)

I’d rather hear my pets noises than snapping gum, slurping coffee, tuneless whistling, cracking knuckles, off key humming, the list goes on and on.

Nothing will get you to fly out of bed at 2 AM faster than the noise of a cat barfing!

Sounds the same as the sounds I heard from my human co-workers. Thank goodness I don’t have to put up with that anymore – RETIRED!

I can hear my co-worker from the other office. However after nearly 49 years of marriage, I can tune her voice out.

Some background music or “white noise” (like a fan) could help with the pet noises…

Looks like we have to get used to it. Unless HAZMAT Suit manufactures increase their output.
