I turn the ringer volume down on co-workers' phones all the time. I hate that.

Women have the worst ringtones too.

Ugh tell me about it. This woman in the cubicle next to me used to leave her phone on all the time like that, and one of her ringtones was this annoying scream. Real professional when you're on a call and there's a screaming ringtone going off in the background.

I always keep my ringer off at work. In fact I keep my ringer off 99% of the time unless I'm expecting an important call.

Re: The Workplace

My employee's are told to cut off their cell phones before they start the day. Its not very professional having a customer sitting in front of you and your cell phone ringing. I have a mgr who came to my office for a quick meeting and got up 4 times to answer his cell and I could tell 2 were personal. The 4th time it went off he walked to the back of the office and I went out the front door leaving for lunch.

They are not to load up Excel either now that would be extremely unprofessional if they do so!

Re: The Workplace

^ I told them the same thing as far as my wedding is concerned Scud. If I get one unnecessary phone call everyone is getting fired.

Re: The Workplace

The lady in my office who I mentioned before that doesn't know jack about Excel. She tripped coming out of her cube this morning and when she tired to get up she ripped the loudest fart that I have heard in a long time.

Seriously people where turning blue trying to hold in the laughter.

Made my morning.

I love this.

There's a guy in our office who must have some sort of GI problem because I hear him audibly fart just about any time I'm around him for more than 30 minutes at a time. It never stinks though.

It's like he's sucking plain air into his ass and blasting it out for kicks.

Re: The Workplace

We have a loudspeaker system at work. (I work in a housing products factory) If you dial 77 you can speak directly into the loudspeaker system so you can page people. Often times people will do it accidentally or page someone and not hang up the phone properly, then you get to listen to office conversations and people singing to themselves over the loudspeaker. One day I heard a guy singing nursery rhymes to himself. If you are in the front office you cannot hear the loudspeakers out in the plant so you have no idea you are live.

Re: The Workplace

I started with my company 3.5 years ago and they've been talking about moving into a new building the entire time and today it's finally happening. Should be pretty interesting.

I went in yesterday for a few hours to set up my desk and catch up on some stuff (we had to be out by noon on Friday for the movers, which made for an epic happy hour). The new place is a lot nicer than where we were IMO, but I guarantee I'm going to have to listen to people bitching for various reasons for the new few months or so since some people really can't handle change.
