I Really Don't Need to Hear That 

I've had my MP3 player cranking all morning at work. I'm actually trying to get a lot of complicated changes done to some software, and would rather not listen to music so I can concentrate. Unfortunately, my neighbor across the cube wall has decided that he wants to use speakerphone for absolutely everything this morning. I hate people who abuse speakerphone in cubes. Not only do I now get to listen to both sides of a conversation instead of just one... but the person next to me now speaks louder than normal so the other guy can hear it. He's a smart guy... you'd think he would notice that his cube doesn't have full walls, a door, or a ceiling.

Normally I would walk over there and bitch him out ask him politely to stop... but he easily gets pissy... and is in a position to get my contract cut. Therefore I'm listening to tunes while working... which as it turns out is only partially working because I can still hear him.
