Two new people at my co-working space having Teams meetings on speaker and playing videos out loud. Put up with it for 30 minutes. Then went over and asked them to please stop playing videos from their computer on speaker loudly as it’s distracting to my work, and there are free meeting pods around if you need to make noise. No sorry, no speaking at all, just looked at me and each other like I was crazy for confronting them. Amazing how inconsiderate people can be.

They immediately packed up and moved someone else.

A win.

  We need more shit like that called out publicly. I don’t hesitate when some idiot needs to be confronted. Public humiliation is a powerful tool.

    The old me would have stayed quite and put up with it, but not anymore.
    
    I’ve also learned my lesson to call this behaviour out quickly. There’s a group of people from a business (not here today) who have been members longer than me who are so loud, so disruptive, and essentially untouchable (management won’t confront them after I complained). They also know they’re bothering me and give no shits. So as soon as there’s a new disruptive group, I approach very quickly to teach some workplace etiquette they should already know.

    Wankers like that in the workplace feel so much worse. I expect more from adults, and yet…constant disappointment. Good on you for evolving :)

I cracked the shits at a builder next door playing shit techno at full blast few days ago.

I like techno, but not that sort of techno, particularly when you’re angle grinding rebar.

Haven’t played it since lol.

I won that round.
