In your opinion, what's the most frustrating aspect of working in an open-plan office?

The obvious answer is "distractions" but as an introvert the actual issue is the performative act of sitting at a desk and working. It's the people walking by and looking at you like you're in a zoo.
The actual distractions actually help the day go quicker because at least it's usually a normal interaction.
@sudorandom Completely agree with the "zoo" aspect. For some folks, being observed is not a distraction. For others (like you and me, apparently) it is.
@sudorandom I'm going to say "The people who don't understand conference call etiquette." If it's a call where you need to be talking/participating, get a room or find a quiet secluded spot.
