If you are on the phone at work and someone comes up to you...

what do you do? If they stand there hovering? Or if they start talking to you while you're on the phone?

I get so annoyed...sometimes I turn my back and ignore them...many times I am working on something confidential.

What do you do?

i don't mind if they come in my office and sit down and wait for me to finish. but it's when they come in and just start talking when i am clearly on the phone....ugh! that pisses me off. i've said numerous times outloud 'what does this phone next to my ear mean to you?'
totally rude some people!!

Ignore them...I can't stand when people do that.

that is def my biggest pet peeve!!! why must people do that? do they not see the phone attached to your ear?? i hate it when i'm a work and trying to explain something to the person i'm on the phone with, the person across from me or next to me feels the need to yell what i should say. ahhhh!!! i'm ann adult, i don't need a babysitter!!!
