There's no need to shout!
Everyone's got their little annoying habits. But there are some that just drive you insane when you're at work. Is your pet office peeve in the top ten?
Annoying habit: Loud talkers
Annoyance level: 10/10
We do not all need to know every detail of our co-workers lives. And yet the loud-talker seems to think we do. Why else would they shout down the phone to their best mate/boyfriend/mum, ensuring we all know that they've got a bit of a rash on their bum and their next door neighbour is having an affair?
How to make it stop:
If they're doing it on purpose, there's not a lot you can do since they clearly want the world to know their business. Try asking them nicely if they wouldn't mind keeping their voice down. If that doesn't work it might be worth approaching their manager or your HR rep.
