Especially when your last jobs were all dominated by dudes and/or young people, where swearing, joking around and otherwise inappropriate behaviour was the norm.

I was in that situation in my first job. Lots of listening to the joys of giving birth and raising kids, just what an 18 year-old guy wants to listen to. Also lots of being told they hoped their daughters would bring home someone like me - but those daughters were all too young (and what girl brings home a guy their mom would like anyway?).
I haven't had too many annoying coworkers recently - mostly people who talk too loud on the phone or use a speaker phone with the volume cranked up. The only other annoyance is when the junior employees don't do their work as well as I'd like and I have to fix everything, but that's happening less and less too.
