Picture the scene.
Your open plan office is quiet save for the rhythmic tapping of fingers on keyboards.

The occasional phone bleats into life and is swiftly silenced by its owner, who then proceeds to mutter into it in hushed tones.

A conversation is in full swing at the other end of the room, but at such a level that you aren't disturbed by it.

Then he does it again. The little bald fella, who appears to be working diligently, snorts then quickly tries a fake cough in the vain hope that no one has registered his laughter. It stops as suddenly as it began and he reverts to staring intently at his screen. It's as though he's sharing a joke with himself. As though he's laughing at the thoughts in his head, again.

At work...
my boss used to come rushing in, thinking I'd hurt myself... So I kind of got embarrassed into stopping B3ta-ing at work
