don’t

you might be annoying your co-workers when… 

you arrive late to the meeting, apologize to everyone in the room, rummage around noisy for a seat, then turn to the person beside you and whisper…loudly, “so, what’d i miss?”

apologizing at that moment may seem polite but drawing attention to your lateness is disruptive.

just take a seat and be quiet.
