Am I the only one who finds it extremely difficult to work in an open office?

Especially when people are very talkative . One co-worker talks to herself even, and talks out her every move.
Examples: oh I need to send that email to bob... did I call cory yesterday...I have to send the report and do this and do that. She even goes as far as saying every word she is typing while sending an email.

All her phone calls are on speaker phone.

She will play personal videos on her phone, again out loud.

I told her " I'm gonna buy you some headphones"

Anyone else find it difficult to work in an open office?

I don't like it. It's actually inefficient and creates a less productive environment. If you can't get people to stop the chatter, can you wear earbuds/headphones & listen to music to tune them out?

@SW-User I do but it's really not safe. I just do it a few minutes at a time to de-stress
