Chances are, you've been annoyed at one point or another by someone not practicing proper cell phone etiquette and were forced to listen to business that's none of your own.So,I am sharing this letter which I
wrote to my cubicle mate and would also like to hear from you the suggestions on how to handle such situations if you have come across any such character .
Hey Mr.Manner_Criminal
I was thinking to write this letter to you from Quite few weeks but didn't ,only in the hope that things might change and I should politely ignore the things...seems you have tested my patience far more and now when I can't hold it back ..I have have to blurt it out ...
You are the reason I am afraid to come to office in the morning .. you distract me from completing my work on company time, invade my workspace with your mere existence and create an unpleasant work environment.

now plz.. don’t make that ignorant face as if you don't know what am I talking about.. Sir..it’s your phone habit...you talk my ear off ..whole day.
You behave as office is your stage and the company's telephone is your mega-phone but you need to know that it’s not and we come here to work and We can’t do that amid your loud conversations.
Your day starts with calling your girlfriend from desk phone and that too with headphones on .. even before you login to the machine . I don't mind people taking phone calls from loved ones and acquaintances but having a conversation with them in a manner that you do surely give me a shaky head so plzz plzz can u just think for a moment and make a note somewhere in your
mind or at white board or wherever.. that its OFFICE and not your home nor do you sit in a private cubical.
Can you please please try to understand that you and your conversation are not that important to the rest of the world .The whole neighborhood doesn't need to know where are you going to dinner with your loved one, what color your GF is wearing today or where is her cab every other minute..has it crossed the chintu kee shop where u guys eat ice-cream..which song are they playing in her cab or if all her teammates are in office , what are they doing that time.. ,what your girl is eating and what r u .. which Beauty parlor package is she availing ... you making calls to your friends in changed voice..blah blah blah ..and many other inappropriate conversations which should have been best left private. I don’t want to mention them here but You know them .. u know very well ..i can go on and on on the stupid conversations you do and we don’t enjoy any of them as they are most boring, annoying, pointless, repetitive and retarded.

I tried talking to you professionally on this thinking that may be u don’t realize that you are yelling out your conversation to the rest of us but seems you didn’t get the point !
If you have personal stuff to talk about .. What do you think we have breakout areas in office for....Go Buoy...use them ..
if you don’t have work to do ... hah... Technology changes every minute .. go ..read .. browse .. chat .. but Talking on Office phone and irritating others is not a good time pass..certainly Not !!
I can give you a taste of your own medicine by talking on my phone loudly.. but you see.. I don’t want to do that ..I am in my senses.. so plz u go find and get yours wherever u have lost them !
I am pretty tolerant of such things but I do have limits. I hope you will understand this time and will not torture people around you anymore.
Thanks in advance !!
Victim of your torture ...
