If you work in an office with cubicles, loud talking should be banned. And maybe even punished with extreme torture... like stapling your fingers, being forced to collate a multi-page document in a limited amount of time, or tied to a chair and having to listen to training presentations for hours on end. What has ever made you think that I wanted to listen to you placating an account on the phone? Do you not have an "inside voice"? If your conversation cannot be had in normal decibles, can you please take it outside? I really don't care that it's the middle of winter and you forgot your gloves. Don't you think that my ears deserve the break from your rather grating voice? Please?
