Open floor offices

TGIF. I walked in all excited about a productive Friday morning but then my desk neighbor (I'm in an open floor office) started yammering away with her boyfriend so loudly I couldn't concentrate. Sometimes I love open floor offices b/c I get to know my colleagues better and get into fun conversations but at times like this, I hate it. What do ya'all do in situations like this? Do you think open-floor spaces are a good idea?

i've only worked in open floor offices. i do think that it calls for a more collaborative environment, but as a person who craves structure, it can be a little frustrating sometimes. a coworker might be coming up to me with one simple question but it might be that i had to answer 5 other questions that morning. if we had a non open floor office, then they would have to message me whenever they have questions: think through their thoughts, put them into words and i can answer them when I can get to them!
