Speakerphone Annoyance

Have you ever worked in an office where someone insisted upon listening to their voice mail using the speakerphone (at full volume, naturally). It can really begin to bother you after a while. There was a fellow in my office who was the ultimate offender.

I found a fairly easy fix for that, though. I have my wife call his desk when he's not there and leave a message like "Hi, this is Candy from 1-900-HOT-BABE. You haven't paid for the 'toys' we sent you, you naughty boy. You wouldn't want me to come over there and spank you, would you?"

It is the last time you hear that particular speakerphone, I can assure you.

ROFL yeah, that would make a huge difference. Or leave him a message with a threat for screwing up the drugdeal. Oh man... the opportunities i see here.

Somehow I can believe that someone that would do such a thing would be the type of person you would marry Arvon. Now I'm wondering how long it took you to come up with the cure for the annoyance.

I had a really good friend who absolutely annoyed everyone in the offices around him by doing this. Thankfully, his office wasn't next to mine. Equally annoying are those folks who talk on the speakerphone all the time when it's not needed (e.g. when it is only a two person conversation).

I like your idea, though. It'd be a riot. Just don't get busted.
