loud talkers

Why do people feel the need to talk really really loud all the time? The girl across from me talks at about 300% the recommended volume level, has had people politely 'shoosh' her, and I"m about 5 minutes away from telling her in less uncertain terms what I think about her annoyingness.

For those of you who find you're getting looks from co-workers when you're on the phone -- it might be time to check that volume knob and shut the sweet fuck up.

say this as sarcastically as possible:

"OK, You're at about a 7, we need you at about a 3! Thanks!"

ungh.. one of the programmers that I work with has a real issue with needing to yell into the phone.
The problem is, he has his cell on vibrate so I have no advanced warning, and then suddenly "HELLO.. HELLO".. scares the shit out of sometimes..
Also, it's always his mother that calls, and apparently she has never been trained to communicate, so he usually has to keep saying "HELLO.. HELLO" for a little while until she comprehends that he's talking to her.

I talk loud, but not like THAT.

but I do have the kinda voice that makes it near impossible to whisper.

I can't whisper very well at all

I LIKE TO TALK LIKE THEEEEEEEEEES

i hate when people i don't know talk about their pets that i don't know either.... a secretary from another department wanders by my desk at work and sees a picture of my cats on my desk and feels the need to tell me in detail about how her dog thinks he's a cat for about 15 mins....

is the a polite way to say i don't care?...i guess i'm off topic a bit but none thes less.... annoying people in the office... grrrr.

Many people talk because they feel other people care about what they have to say and/or they like to te sound of their own voices. Especially when voicing their opinions. Either way it's annoying.

haha loud talkers are one of my pet peeves...the worst is people who think they have to yell on phones or cell phones for the person on the other end to hear properly.

"I'm really busy working against a tight deadline right now; can we talk a little bit later?"

If she comes back, repeat.

I use this regularly on one of my friends.

She so fucking LOUD sometimes, I need to turn the volume down to the lowest setting on my phone to talk to her.

in all seriousness, she is the only clear voice I can hear in a loud, crowded club from across the room.

Loud talkers are annoying as fuck but low talkers make me want to scratch my eyes out, I hate having to strain to listen to what someone has to say, just spit it out!!!!! High talkers suck as well, I hate people with squeaky or baby girl voices, I don't find it feminine at all...haha think I am really picky when it comes to what I like in terms of pitch control, that probably why I choose not to converse with 75% of my office unless forced to.
