can anyone give me some advice on how to do meditation sitting on a chair in public places? can this be done with the same benefit as the traditional meditation techniques?

for example, loud neighbors. it can be directed to the renunciation practice when in the context of noise being irritating.. but how about when it arrives in the basis of "correctness" ( it is regarded as a violation of residential rights when someone is noisy at certain times of the day )...

I've been struggling with this feeling of dislike for one of my office mates.. every time i see him it ruins my day.. mainly because of his arrogance.. can anyone tell me how to deal with this irritating feeling? what is the most direct Buddhist approach in relating with these kind of things..

thanks a lot for your answer guys...
