Stop chewing in my ear!

Had to actually ask someone to stop chewing today. Was disgusting!

people who eat while on the phone with you (always something crunchy!) and mouth-breathers are the worst!

Cordless phones with horrible static/high pitched noises are the worst.
...or speaker phone.

"What do you mean? I can hear you perfectly"
"Newsflash, I can't hear you, either take me off speakerphone or move your handset just that _little_ bit, so that the pain of your phone is bearable"

I like the ones that put their speaker phone right next to their computer, so all you hear is a hard drive or a fan. Had to ask a guy if he was working in a production area as it sounded like giant pumps in the background. Turned out it was the fans on his Mac G5 cycling up and down. Weird.

I get this picture of this hick with a thick Kentucky accent and a dip in both cheeks and the sound of him spitting every ten seconds. Whether or not this was your caller, I sympathize with you for this bullshit.

I have a co-worker, a rather elderly ex-schoolteacher, who often works through her lunchbreak. She doesn't skip lunch, though. I often wonder what the experience is like for people who call in wanting help from her.

I personally never hesitate before asking a caller to put their food down.
