To the left of me - The guy spends more time on his cell phone and work phone than doing work. The ringer for his cell phone is VERY loud and obnoxious.

To the right of me - The guy listens to conservative radio all day. It's loud enough that I can hear it down the hall. Complaining has done no good thus far. He also has started eating tuna out the can, then throws it in his garbage. The smell drives me insane.

cellphone ringing when person is away from desk is the worst.

second place is when a csr up in the call center doesn't turn off their cell phone off and they let it ring away while they're on a call. luckily i don't have to go up there much anymore.

1) Cell phones - I want to smash them after 8 seconds of ringing.
2) People who sigh every 2 minutes

LOL at least she doesn't use ICQ with the 'uh o'.... and imagine if she had the typing noises on as well!

Anyways, about a dozen people here in cubicles, and not a single one of them would fart out loud. That's just rude... and i would definitely bring it to their attention that they should be toilet trained.

I do like to go visit my coworker's who do have cubes, though. I like to sit in their cube and have a conversation. Just before I leave I release a SBD fart. :D

LOL!!!!!!!!! Oh yeah...... :thumbsdown:

Luckily I don't get ANY reception at work so I don't have to worry about my cell phone going off. That and I'm a loser so no one calls me ... :D

One of you guys has my spouse for a cube neighbor. Why nobody has ever called him on it, I'll never know. Too polite I guess.

No, no, he's just clearing his throat. At the wrong end.

The cell phones that have the volume set at maxium, and then constantly ring because the owner decided to leave their desk.
Put the damn thing on vibrate, and put it in your pocket. See, not so annoying then.

I also hate when people sing. Your voice sucks, and the song you are singing sucks. Now go play in traffic.

When I worked at Delta, the woman in the cube across from me seemingly would talk on the phone for hours about her latest problems at home (problems with husband, sick son, etc.). Some of what she said was really depressing and put a damper on my day.

How come no option for holding conversations on a speaker phone like they are the only ones in the building? :disgust:
