Depends on the team. Currently working in an open layout (every desk is hotdesked 🙃), it's pretty easy to get tapped on the shoulder. If I have my headphones in (busy mode) I try to ignore people unless they invade my personal space (waving hand in front of display/ poking) where I physically cannot ignore them. Often when a couple of people are collaborating at someones desk, there's just not enough space so I have to move up and invade someone else's space.
The company I used to work at had a giant office, with pretty big desks so you had a sense of personal space. All the devs were sat together and slacked first if someone looked busy. Or even not busy. We were all pretty introverted lol. I tend to communicate better over message too, I get a little panicked and stumble on a bunch of words when trying to explain something. :S
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
