Loud Office Music

[944fan]

I know this thread will make me sound like a grumpy old git, but that's what I am so why hide it eh?

I am working from a satellite office today. Its much quieter than my usual one, at least it would be if someone wasn't playing fking awful music really loud. I often put headphones in when I need to concentrate but I don't understand the point of having crap on at full volume.

Not least because of the arrogance of thinking that anyone else wants to listen to the same st that they do. They actually had death metal on earlier.

Oh, and before I get any 0/10 not enough swearing posts have this: fk wk bks tosser tt.

Sit next to them and sing along, but make it obvious you don't know the words.

[AndStilliRise]

Ask for Bryan Adams instead.

office for work , not listening to music , simply turn it off and state the fact its stopping you concentrating add 'I hope you don't mind' as you go to the source and switch it off.

They probably can't hear you over the music.

[soad]

Shouting "Turn that ste down!" should do it?

Well fk me sideways, you could've started off less aggressive, a simple strongly worded letter would have been better.

Huffing, loudly, as a first interaction, are you mad?

I thought it best to go in easy as its not my usual office. If it were I would have stormed over there shouting and swearing, grabbed whatever implement the sound is coming from, stamped on it and threw it out the window.

Might send an email next.

Make sure it's a strongly worded one.

It will be. I might even include my "Head of IT" signature in it. You know, for gravitas.

My hearing is wrecked due by my time as a roadie with a rock group in my irresponsible youth.So now everything is just noise.
You can either give him an "ear bashing" yourself,pointing out he is being irritating and not thinking of others.Or,mention the link above to the office manager.

Ask management to see the PPL Licence.

[DrDoofenshmirtz]

Why not simply play your own taste of music a tad LOUDER?

Better still, ask the PPL and PRS to ask the management about their licence. The racket will stop instantly.

Just be grateful they don't play Heart FM all day long. I'm convinced they only own one mix cd & play it on shuffle - & no, I'm not listening by choice.

I lost sympathy when you used the words "satellite office".

I like how they proudly drop in 'more music variety' every few minutes

I don't know, they've got their thing going.
Out there. In the sticks.
Oh no, here comes Johnny big potatoes.
Captain Killjoy.
On a mission.
With his expert skills.
Huffing and puffing. He does not appreciate the metal.
