A long, long time ago, people used to live out in the open. Which was fine, until someone found a cave and thought, "Hey, I should live in there." And the other people saw that the cave guy wasn't getting rained on and decided to join cave guy in the cave. And that worked for a while.
Then someone decided she wanted some privacy. Sure, the cave was nice and big and everyone fit just fine, but sometimes, you wanted to go off and be on your own, and, gosh, there just wasn't really anyplace to go. So, she thought, hey, let's divide up the cave into compartments and call these compartment "rooms". And everyone rejoiced because they could have their own little place.
Sometimes people would go and visit each other in these "rooms". And even though these "rooms" were somewhat private, there was still that big hole that let you get in and out of the room. And if you wanted to gossip about the cave guy three rooms down, he might hear you thought that hole. This was an issue for a while, until someone came up with the idea of a big plank that could be opened and closed. "We'll put a 'door' on each of these 'rooms', and then you'll have complete privacy." And it was good.
But there is one flaw: if you want privacy, you have to shut the damn door. So, everyone who uses the conference room by my cube, I know it's a tough concept, but can we shut the door once in a while? Thanks!
