Man, the guy in the next cube/cell is practically screaming into his phone talking to his builder. Does anyone at your work do this? What do you do about it?

1. On the train I have been known to give a stage-whisper
But only if the carriage has plenty of people who are obviously pissed off with the speaker. A well dropped "really?" can work wonders - especially in England as most people would never dream of speaking to a stranger to challenge him.

4. I'll have to try that approach.
I really hate people who talk on their mobiles in restaurants. Take it outside people!

5. Oh, That's Great!
Very impish. And to an American, it seems like a very British way of handling the situation.

Will have to try it some time.

3. CELL PHONES SUCK!!!
What I hate most -- the ABSOLUTE RUDEST OF THE RUDE -- is taking a crap in a public restroom, and there are 2-3 guys in other stalls yakking away on their frickin' phones.
