There's a guy in the cube farm that's just up from my cube.

Apparently he doesn't know how to use a regular phone,
EVERY SINGLE CALL IS ON HIS SPEAKERPHONE!


It's driving me nuts. N U T S !!!!!!!

speakerphone = You're not important enough for me to pick up the phone.

I never use speakerphone unless there is someone else in the room.

speakerphone in a cube = The person I'm talking to isn't important enough for me to pick up the phone and I'm so important that I don't care if the rest of you need to concentrate.

Straighten out a paperclip and poke a ton of holes into the speaker of his phone.

Or, beat him with a baseball bat.

I lasted 7 years at the old job, so I got a lot of "stickin' with it" credit.

Get a recording of some hot and heavy pron and play it the next time he is on the phone. It will make the other person wonder what he's watching on his computer.

yeah, the speakerphone abuser doesn't have to be in a cube, you can hear them down the hall

of course then there are the people that call you on speakerphone and you have no idea they are in in an open room/meeting

bastards, all of them :mad:

Go outside and pick up your cell.

call his cubicle

when he puts you on speaker, start layin into him. loudly. for added effect pretend to be a client who is upset with his work.

enjoy the silence.


if you want to go the whole impersonating a client route, you can also take detailed notes on all of his calls....that way you can dupe him into really thinking he's up **** creek...

About as good an analysis as one can make.

Caller ID. Block your number before calling.
And record it for us to enjoy.
