We have a pretty open floor at my office. My desk isn't quite what you'd think of as a cubicle but maybe technically is...it's an L shape with low walls on two sides (North and West) and is open to the East and South. I'm about 7 feet from the big windows that line the entire side of the building facing Park Ave here in Midtown. The closest person to me is about 20 feet away, although people pass by me more closely when walking around the floor.
I'm sitting here eating delicious shelled sunflower seeds. Well, more like enjoying the hell out of the salt overload before cracking the shells, getting the seeds, and spitting out the remnants. I realized that this might not be a very appropriate thing to do in an office setting. Please note...I'm not spitting these shells wildly and with force like I would back when I played baseball. It's more of a controlled, quiet spit into a paper cup. I know no one can hear it, and I don't think anyone can see me...but might if they were to pass by at the right time and I think I could understand if they thought this was gross. I definitely wouldn't bother if I had another guy sitting 5 feet from me in a typical "cube" setting.
So what do you say...sunflower seeds at work, appropriate or inappropriate?
