Dress in the manner accepted for your area of work.
Attempt to be quiet in areas where people are on the phone or need concentration. This applies to activities such as using listening to music, eating, and conversations with other coworkers.
Respect others' time. Be on time to meetings. When in meetings, if a subject comes up that is taking time and is only useful to a small subset of users then request to take that conversation offline.
Attempt to limit introducing strong smells into the work area. Strong perfume, excessive body odor, and very fragrant flowers can offend others. Culinary odors such as fast food, sesame oil and microwave popcorn can also be very unpleasant.
Be considerate when using communal areas such as kitchens/breakrooms and restrooms.

No touching beyond a handshake.
No suggestions of a sexual nature.
No remarks that are racist, sexist, homophobic, religious, or personal.
No backstabbing.
Follow these rules if you don't want to succeed in the company.
If you want to go places in the workplace then you'd best disregard all suggestions above.

Besides doing the obvious (duh!!!) and following your company's policies, it is always a good idea to be polite and say hello to the people in your immediate area, not fart or do anything disgusting in their presence (male OR female), and be courteous. No loud talking on the phone!

Don't flirt if you don't want sexual harassment problems one way or another. Watch your language and mind your own business unless invited. Don't gossip

Don't talk about your first prostate exam, because it will make the lesbian co-worker leave the room.
