What? Of course private office is better. In an open office, I always have to worry about if my fart is too loud for the person next to me to hear. It's like every time I have to pass gas, it interrupts my train of thought so I get to let out a silent one. Or even better, some times I have headphones on, and totally forgot that I'm in an open office.

In a private office, I wouldn't have to worry about this.



We live in an era of sharing...so let's share those farts. (this was probably my worse HN comment ever :X)


I prefer open offices because I have no problem taking ownership and accountability with what I do. This especially includes farts.


You made an excellent argument for private offices. There, we don't have to share farts.


Unless ya walk in on one. The reason farts are loud is because the noise is an early warning device.
