What is the most unwanted thing that you usually have to deal with when you’re at work? I think most of the answers will be disturbing people. Indeed, if you’re working in a shared or even private office room, people walking in and out will surely interfere with your workflow. Maybe it seems like nothing. However, being distracted while working can have a devastating influence, especially when someone is having a complicated excel sheet or a tedious report.

Respecting privacy at work is one important factor, but how to do it? How do you tell your co-workers to mind their actions? And more important is, how do they react to that? Some people try to get this done by telling others not to disturb but in a very creative and hilarious way. Check out the collection below and see how they do it.
