Here's the deal - I work at an ISP support center, and on weekends it is pretty quiet. About 20 feet from me sits a chick...and seeing has how the weekends are slow/quiet, some of the dorky guys go and talk to this chick (who is a lesbian, anorexic, and gross, by the way, so if anybody asks for pics, I'm going to post pics of skeletons) and make her laugh....

Her laugh is one of the most hideous, annoying things I have ever heard. It sounds like she is going to die from not breathing or something...

I never talk to this chick and am not going to walk up to her and tell her to pipe down, and I can't really tell a supervisor that her laugh is annoying and I want something done. And talking with the morons who talk to her, who I don't think realize she's a lesbian and are trying to score, would probably just produce tension all around and not be a good thing.

Any ideas - like dropping a cement truck on her head???

My usual solution is to kick them in their testicles.. But of course, her being lesbian and being a her, I don't think that would work too well.. Let me think about it for awhile.

I had the exact same problem and, just like I learned from my Mom and Dad, if you ignore the problem it will go away.

You'll get used to it most likely or she'll quit before you are driven to homicide. I had the same problem and eventually she moved into a room where I can hardly hear her and I've gotten to the point where I can at least tolerate her squealing giggles.....

Stressful environments put us on edge a little don't they. I'm a little disturbed at myself for even trying to figure out a way to get my hyena fired just because of her laugh... geez talk about a lack of compassion.....

like I said it'll smooth out in a little bit, probably, if not, well... get her fired and if you think of a good way to do PM me for the future.

Smack her upsided the head with a chair,

Part-way saw through the legs of her chair, so when she sits in it , it collapses.

Push her down an elevator shaft.

You'll think of something, if she's that bad.

Ask to be moved to a different seat.
Play music.
Wear earplugs.
Kill yourself.

I dunno, I've worked with some real winners and would count myself lucky if the most annoyning complaint I had about a co-worker is that they laughed weird :)

Hehe....I think it's a test to weed out the people that snap and break stuff when they get pissed...

I could easily ignore it if it were once or twice a day...but it's pretty constant... I do have ear plugs from riding my motorcycle to work, but that would kind of inhibit my job performance as I have to communicate with customers to support them.

I did have tons of mp3's on my computer but the hard drive failed and I had to get a new one, so I have to put some more back on....no good for today...

I wonder what she'd think if I built walls floor to ceiling around her cube and put QUIET, NO LAUGHING! signs all around, hehehe...

You could try meditation, yoga, tranqualizers, psychotherapy, or just wait till you grow up.

If I were you, I'd try making her laugh. Maybe her laugh would sound a lot better telling you you're funny.

No way dude.....

I wonder if I could get recordings of it so I could share with the forum...that'd be pretty sweet...

I can try to find a pic, I think it's on our Intranet.

yeah, that'd be interesting to get a speciment of her crazy laugh.

in the meantime, does it really matter? grow up and ignore it. just thank god she's not your friend's friend or you have to live with her or you have her in the family... etc. etc... it's just 8 hours a day. big woop.

I like the evening crowd's suggestion of violence over the earlier wussy pleas to be tolerant.

I think I'm going to start acting like Milton in Office Space and maybe they'll move my desk into the basement....peace and quiet. That'd rock.
