    As anyone who has spent time in a cubicle farm can attest, the volume part of this continues to be a problem to this day.Report

    The impromptu censoring is cute. “(blank and two dashes)” makes me wonder what the swear word is and then I wondered “what’s the first use of this sort of thing?”

    Well, in comics, it apparently goes back to 1902 and the Katzenjammer Kids. (But, apparently, newspaper editors had been putting dashes and asterisks into swearwords since the late 1600s.)Report

    Ugh, even when you have an office with a door you sometimes get this; I have a colleague who occasionally makes loud calls (on speakerphone, no less) during my office hours (so I’m technically supposed to keep the door open).

    I’ve told him that if I were a more-devious person I would know his bank account number and one of his credit-card numbers by now, but that didn’t make a dent.Report
