On speakerphone. It's like they're looking for ways to be more annoying and less considerate.
That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.

paperdol, I'm so incredibly thrilled for you.
When are the interviews? I'll bring you iced coffee and then go away and when you are done, Noah and I will take you for breakfast.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Noah! How is the little man this morning?
Any more poop explosions? I think he did that just to make me look incompetent.

I like Kat's plan.
I think the rude speakerphoners are related to the guy who uses the intercom feature to call officemate's phone and ask "Are you there? Bob? If you are there, pick up. [pause] Bob?" after calling a couple times regularly where no one picks up. And yes, he knows someone else shares the office. One of these days I'm going to tell him Bob's gone to the darkside and never to call again.
Of course, he's also the guy who came in here and sat at the other desk to have a private cell conversation with his girlfriend while I glared at him, so there may be no hope.

Someone came into the bathroom at work today talking on their cellphone. I mean really, can you stop working long enough to pee? She walked out when someone flushed.

My co-workers APPLAUD whenever someone walks in their area.
I win.
Or, actually, lose.

Steph, you do lose. I'm not sure how I'd take that. We have a fair dose of irony-awareness and sarcasm here, so at the very least I'd have someone to bitch with.
I think I'm going to go deliver cake to the krav centre on my lunch break. It's way too sweet for me to be able to eat on my own.
It cracks me up and chaps my ass when the loud people act annoyed at other noises.
Just got dressed down (v. calmly) by my boss for not working tomorrow. In my defense a) I don't want to (okay, I didn't say that) b) I'm dog tired and getting by by a thread (didn't say that either) and c) I committed to leading a class tomorrow on the understanding that I was being covered at work.
