I was thinking about starting a thread like this about the woman who moved into the cube next to me a few months ago. That list seems to be describing her. She's an extremely loud talker and she's always on the phone (Mostly business calls, but quite a bit of personal convervation during those calls. The loud talking is bad enough, but she's constantly crunching on food while talking on the phone. How obnoxious! She has a microwave in her cube to make smelly food at lunch. Has an annoying cell phone ring and she often leaves it on her desk when she walks away, so it rings forever. Also keeps messing with the lighting levels for the whole area. And other favorite: calling someone on the phone who's two cubes away, so you get that nice echo. The people where she used to sit always comment how nice and quiet their area is now. And I've talked with another person near me who says she works from home more now because of this woman. I've been doing the same. Don't get me wrong, she's a nice person, just extremely annoying.
