Captive audience because they’re trapped in the office with them.

Ugh. If I need to collaborate with my colleagues, I'll visit their office; I don't need (or want) to hear every phone call they make or their music escaping their headphones.

I cannot stress enough how much I hate open plan offices and am so glad I do not work in one.
