    I would have thought it would depend on the type of job they do. In a call-centre? probably not ok.

    wearing them usually a non-verbal "**** off and don't talk to me" imo

    There is a section of the office where they are a call centre. They have a board on the wall giving stats and they have to be over a certain target.

    They fiddle it if it goes to low. All they do is call their phone with their mobile and answer it quickly to get the percentage up.

    I do this sometimes even when I'm not listening to anything just as a way of stopping people from bothering me.

    Mind you, I can always pretend I'm transcribing an interview or something.

    I used to wear them when doing something requiring intense focus, or to block out something particularly annoying, but as default behaviour it is a little rude, especially if in a role where others might be expected to seek you attention.

    Bloke next to me wears them so much someone made him a "Can't hear you" sign with a pair of headphones symbol. Then he can't hear his phone so he turns it up full blast, much to everyone's pleasure. He also wears them while eating, so he can't hear what a noise he's making as he chomps away. Apart from that, he's a lovely fellow.

    Mainly nice and chilled stuff, can’t be dancing around the office after all.
