This also applies.

Now you know what you can do if your spouse gives you the "hey, man" attitude.

One thing to note - we're talking about skills and performance here. :) Things like "don't microwave fish in the breakroom" and "stop wearing so much cologne" and "put your cellphone on vibrate when you walk away from your desk and leave it to charge" could be a whole other article on office etiquette.
