| Mar 7, 2018 at 3:14 | comment | added | Alex | @aparente001 While I appreciate the ideas, everything you've suggested is rather passive-aggressive and in my workplace would be seen as isolating and rude. I would rather face this head-on with my neighbor via conversation. | |

Have you tried headphones with music or white noise? Is there space in the room to bring in your own desk desk? Is there another room? Have you tried piling books on chairs next to you to create a buffer zone? Have you tried leaving some belongings set up when you leave for the day, in case you might get in late the next day? | |
