You Don't Want To Be THAT Guy...
Although each company will have its own specific policies regarding dress code, appropriate behaviors, etc. it is important to keep in mind the general rules that Seymour mentioned. There is nothing more frustrating than sharing your workspace with someone who is ignorant, impolite or just plain idiotic.When it comes to dress code, something to keep in mind in addition to the things Seymour said is being wary of "casual Friday." Feel out the company practices and norms your first few weeks; though the policy may say that jeans are permitted, if the dressed down version of everyone includes khakis I wouldn't recommend denim. Take a cue from your fellow coworkers to see what behaviors they perform.
In addition, noise level is a major component to having a healthy, happy work environment. Between people typing, phones ringing and that hum of computers, the last thing people want to hear added to that is personal conversation or obnoxious music. Keep both your personal and radio volumes low to respect those around you.
Follow these tips and the others provided and you'll be well on your way to a great work atmosphere!

Every job is different and there is no way to completely know all the acceptable work place rules until you have actually begun working there. By following the guidelines provided, it will make the transition from dorm room to work place a smooth one. But, you must remember that each job is different and something that may be acceptable in one office, may not hold true for others. Watch what you're co-workers are doing, they have been working there longer than you have and already know all the rules that you should follow.
