Different places have their respective decorum. The way people perceive and behave in a bar, for instance, is not the same as how they conduct themselves while at their varied places of worship.
These mannerisms are not taught in school and probably no one will ever stop in the streets to cut you a piece of mind on how to carry yourselves around. Come on, for Christ’s sake even cooks exhibit a change of conduct when they enter their offices-the kitchen!
I was in office today, and for your information am a public relations and communications specialist in my organization, when my colleague entered the office whistling a Bob Marley song. I was like ‘what the heck is wrong with your upstairs buddy?’
A few minutes later, believe it or not, a lady colleague came in on her high-heeled shoes hammering the floor irritatingly. I lost my concentration and felt like struggling her and in fact could it not have been that I usually have a crash on her, I would have cut her a piece of my dirty mind!
An office is a place of work and sometimes brains are under high voltage especially when people have a bulk of work to get done. At these times a simple distraction can earn the offender an insult or lifetime ridicule from colleagues.
As a matter of fact, a good and cohesive relationship with colleagues at work can come along as cheaply as a result of just behaving nicely than by buying your colleagues an expensive lunch or dinner!
Let’s be careful with how we conduct ourselves. You might never know, a simple colleague of yours today might be your boss tomorrow and besides, it’s good to be nice and well behaved. That’s all about being human. You aren’t a pet after all!
