Put up mosquito netting around your cubicle.

And if someone protests that there are no mosquitos around, give him a knowing look.

Put up mosquito netting around your cubicle. 1

Interesting idea to appear to be insane and crazy enough to a point where someone might actually leave you alone and let you get your work done---however poor invention in the "ideas" R&D Department...basically, because I have to ask, where does one get "Mosquito Netting"? Gander Mountain (an outdoor/sporting store)?

Also, this would qualify as an idea that is strange--but not strange enough to keep away that one co-worker who would always come up to you and ask you about it, look at it in wonder, and treat it as an invitational conversation piece to bother you even more from getting your work done while they, as usual, do nothing on the job and continued to get paid for it without reprimand or consequence.

Speaking of which--short anecdote here. I worked with a woman who once put up a scarf across her cubicle. That was her way of saying to others "Do Not Disturb." It never really worked for several reasons.

1. I'm a male, and I don't know much about women's scarves, so I was twice as curious as the next person as to why she put one across her cubicle. She has put up fake leaves all over her cubicle in the fall, so I figured maybe she was celebrating Mardi Gras? I had to ask. She wasn't pleased with my inquiry.

2. All the women in the office commented on the beauty of the scarf, and wanted to know where she got it and why it was being hung up as a blockade across her cubicle. That really pissed her off. So she finally took it down, and then the women were asking where the beautiful cubicle decoration went and why wasn't it up anymore, like a pretty little door or something.

Now, very briefly, I once worked with a guy who used to put crime scene tape (from a local police department) across his cubicle as is way of saying he didn't want to be disturbed. However it never worked. Why you ask?

He was already disturbed long before he got his hands on the crime scene tape.

That's a pretty good idea, but I don't know if it'll fly with the superiors.

Would work, but personally would annoy me more than my co-workers and thus lose it's original intention.

It is also handy to keep out the co-workers.
