How rude!

ARGH!!! For the second day now, one of our bigwig guys is sitting in the conference room near my desk and conducting all of his buisness. Which includes really LOUD conference calls and a phone call this morning where he yelled at someone for a good 15 mins. With the door open! It's driving me insane!! My headphones can't even drown it out. What I can't figure out is why he's even in there. No one is with him. And he has his own fucking office! I'm tempted to just get up and slam the door shut, but I kind of need this job, you know?

So how exactly do you tactfully tell one of the bosses to shut the fucking hell up?

Just get up and, silently, close the door while he's yelling and talking loudly. If he calls you on it, just say you had to make a phone call and his voice was carrying over, but you didn't want to disturb him.

Thankfully, he seems to have gone away so I don't have to beat my head on my desk anymore.

Good. Because if the door-closing didn't work, I was going to suggest a three-hole puncher to the skull. ;)

As do we in this office. It even has a funny handle thing. I'm tempted to club people with it daily.
