Hey, I can appreciate why we have cubicles instead of offices in most buildings today. It's MUCH cheaper, does foster a sense of community (somewhat), easier to pull cable through, easier to reconfigure the floor...
I really try hard to not infringe on the space of those around me when I'm in the office. I bring my lunch, but try to bring things that aren't too smelly when they are heated up, I keep my conversations quiet, I NEVER use my speaker phone, I don't clip my nails in my cube, and I NEVER, EVER eat an apple while sitting at my desk. I have this weird aversion to food noises, and eating an apple in your cube, to me, is as tasteless as taking a shower in your front yard. Have some common courtesy people, slice that damn apple up BEFORE you get to work.
I cope with about 12 gigs of iTunes music and a set of Sony noise reducing (although it doesn't really reduce enough, but its better than none) headphones.
Guess what the guy next to me had for lunch today?

I eat apples just to bother the likes of you and McMaster! :)
I have this aversion to food noises as well. I cannot stand hearing radio commercials that have food smacking sounds.
