I really giggled at this. I totally sympathise with you. I'm in an open plan office but there are certain things that bug me. There are approx 25 of us in a smallish office. I get annoyed by the weirdest things-mostly the way people speak. One of my team leaders says "I'm not being funny, but.." all the time and another one says err before her name everytime she rings someone (which is a lot because we are in affect a medical call centre)and another one hisses her s's. It's funny the things you notice and once noticed, you're doomed!!

I'm happy you've finally managed to escape :O)
