Psychology
I witnessed a nice phenomenon yesterday evening, during a wine&cheese party organised by one of my wife's friends.
The guests were mostly EU public relations/public affairs people, plus some non-EU (even IT!) people like me.
Now, at a certain point I noticed all PR/EU people standing in the middle of the room, laughing and shouting a conversation to each other. The IT people were out of the way, next to a wall, trying to do serious conversation and actually listening to each other.
Comments are welcome. Pictures will follow.

We (PR and EU people) noisy people call that (laughing and shouting) networking. For you (IT people), a network is something completely different. It's a... cultural difference.

At least our networks are less obtrusive :)
your networks are less obtrusive? hell they are. your bloody networks have ruined many a perfectly good day.
As I always say, call the helpdesk :)))
