I have a few that I work with who are always yelling into the phone. Sometimes it's so loud I see my co-workers take the phone away from their ear! Ugh! Makes me irritated. But as for the guy on the other end of that phone call, I bet the one he was angry at was playing video games instead of working! OMG I hate guys like that.

Well, your great story has convinced me to do that next time. There is only so much crap we can take in one lifetime. It's like the theory that you only have so many heartbeats then, that's it, time's up. Next time, I'm on to him!! Thanks for the motivational impetus!

It actually seemed kind of creepy, at first, as if they might want something...but they didn't. They're just nice. Go figure. The story made me laugh. Thank you. What amazes me, is that no one stood up to him, and said "Excuse me, this seems to be an important conversation to you but it is interrupting my morning's peace, could you please take this outside?" I do that sort of thing all the time. Partly, it is because I am about to turn 50 and you put up with less and less crap when you get older. And partly, I feel violated by loud and/or ultra personal phone calls. I do not wish to be involved in their drama and trauma and I will tell them so, politely. As a friend of mine likes to say, I am happy to be their learning experience. It beats walking out the door feeling angry and thinking about what I *would* have said.
