1. Off color or racially charged comments

5. Hangovers and wild weekends
6. Intimate details
7. Personal problems and relationships -- in and out of the office
8. Lifestyle changes

In my opinion, the most important are racial comments, negative views, gossip, and politics and religion. Racism isn't suitable for any environment, and negative comments and gossip are just plain rude. Politics and religion have a time and place, but they could earn you some negative views from your colleagues. These are the ones that I wouldn't talk about with my friends, although I'm sure all thirteen topics should be kept out of your workplace.
