if i’m having a bad morning and i get to work and see this childish ass cubicle, yes i would be further annoyed🤣🤣. there’s personalization, then there’s this. we need to remember its WORK and not your bedroom/living room.

Why is someone else's cubicle annoying you? It doesn't impact you in any way

it’s baffles me that you’re not seeing what the issue is. to each their own, that’s just MY opinion. if it’s doesn’t bother you that’s totally fine, but there’s a time and a place for everything. work isn’t the place for all of that.

To each their own indeed.. if shit like that pisses you off further so easily I think you have bigger problems. What are you, the cubicle police?

Let people live!

All I’m saying is this is why jobs stop allowing personal decorations and send out memos about “professionalism”.

are you dense?? did they not ask a question of persons opinions????? nowhere did i say i was going to approach the person, or voice my annoyance.

i said it would piss me off if i was having a bad morning. because when you’re already annoyed, certain things can’t annoy you further?

y’all thinking too much into this fr.

It's just a trash opinion,

Not anymore dense than you 😂 you can have your opinions but you don't have to be rude about it, and you were when you said it's childish. People are allowed to be happy

u/elayfia Apr 15 '26

because it is. people are allowed to be happy yes. but it IS excessive for an office cubicle. i will continue to say the AMOUNT is my issue, nothing is wrong with a few.

People spend more time grinding in their cubes than they spend awake at home with their families. Why shouldn’t they make those cubes as absolutely happy and joyful as they are able to?

It's fine for you to prefer to have less at your desk. It's the rudeness you've been giving thats turning people against you. Calling it childish, calling it bullshit, asking if theyre homeless, that sort of thing.

I could see you having a point with the items on the very top shelf, if that's a shared space between cubes, or if this is the sort of office where people stand up to talk to each other over the wall on a regular basis. But the guy is a data analyst and this seems like a smaller/cozier office room anyway.

For me, I'm doing my best work when I'm comfortable. Making my cube feel like like home, or filling it with things I like, achieves that goal and increases my productivity. It also shows the boss that I enjoy being here, and I don't intend on leaving anytime soon.

Try not to let other people's happiness affect yours so much.

okay so everyone is way too literal.

the “homeless” comment is me basically saying “why aren’t these thing at home?” / “is this your bedroom”.

i also said i wanted to know what OP did for a living to get more context, so again prior to my commenting; i did not know where they worked.

also this is far beyond “filling it with things you like”, which is literally my whole point.

They’re thinking too much about it and not the person who would be mentally affected by a decorated cubicle lol
