I've been pretty lucky. Most of my co-workers are considerate about this type of thing, both in this job and in prior jobs. They'll play music but you can't hear it unless you're in their office.

I have, however, had very loud neighboring-office co-workers who have phone conversations that aren't meant to be public, but they're so loud that they are.

I'm in a cube farm...so every conversation is heard.

Ugh.

Nice huh. Try having a serious conversation with someone in control of your annual review after that one.
This is a ludicrous story.

Yeah... I really don't want or need to hear my fatass co-worker making plans with her sister to eat her tub of ice cream and watch "Beaches" because her boyfriend broke up with her.

(that's only a slight exaggeration from something that's actually happened)

Jerry: She calls me this morning and tells me she's upset I didn't console her. I mean it was "Beaches" for god's sake. What, what do you do in a situation like that?

George: Where were you?

Jerry: I was sitting on the chair. She was over here on the couch.

George: Well you know, if you were sitting right next to her you'd have to console her no matter what.

Jerry: Of course.

George: When you're talking about a movie like "Beaches", moving from the chair to the couch , . . . that's quite a voyage.

Jerry: yeah,

I work with a couple of guys who seem to have Voice Modulation Syndrome. They sit over 50' away from me, around 2 corners, and I can still hear every word they say on the phone. They practically yell.
