What happened to peace and quiet?

In my office I have :

Public Broadcast Radio - all day. Read :advert central
People who insist on using speakerphone to dial numbers and wait until the person picks up before speaking to them
Two of the worlds most prolific whistlers in the world with the musical ability of a snail
Computer gadgets that insist on beeping upon every glance
Phones with customisiable ringtones that never stop ringing


Have the days of silence disappeared?

I have a kitchen right next to my office, people seem to insist on having tea meetings in there or even worse taking mobile calls in there whilst talking incredibly loud.

Do you work in the public sector or a garage or something?

Working from home all the time, if it's noisy it's my fault.

In a production office. It's the off-key whistling that drives me mad. One person in particular tries to whistle his own freestyle solos to pop songs :help:
