Poll: Would it bother you if...

[teh_spartan]

it would bother me if they changed it and i couldn't find my old station

 

[Electrogecko]

I wouldn't mind in the slightest....probably wouldn't even notice.
Seriously, should I be concerned about their finger grease or something? Why would it bother me?

In fact, I would thank them to turn it off completely.

I can't help but notice what an odd question this is....was there an incident with a radio in your office recently OP?

All questions are answered if you read the thread.

No one said anything about changing the channel. That is a dick move, this is about turning it off.

 

[Rayne870]

fine then, but you shall now be named Bobwehadababyitsaboy. (I miss that ad)

who calls collect anymore? didn't they invent cell phone and skype for that shit?

I should totally call someone collect just to mess with them I tend to use ventrillo now though skype would be better as it supports video.

I was saying skype the way one would refer to any tissue as a kleenax. I use facetime for my video chatting needs.

 

[Kris015]

...What?

I don't know.. Probably wouldn't care. Depends on how close me and said co-worker are.

 

[jumjalalabash]

You are sharing a space don't act like a dick about it.

 

[FalloutJack]

Nah, if I left it on, it was by accident. I turn that stuff off if I leave, normally.

He's being reasonable, she's the one with the issue. Logic dictates she doesn't need her radio on when she isn't present. If it is disrupting his work he should be able to turn it down.

 

[alandavidson]

No, not at all. In fact I'd probably apologise to my co-workers for not turning my radio off before I left in the first place.

What Grouchy said.

I'm guessing jumjalalabash is reading the tread at face value, and thinking I'm the one that flipped out, which is the risk of asking a question like this. I'm fine with it.

Probably, but I have nothing better to do than sit here and point out things and such. I really have nothing that requires my attention at work lol.

Same thing here. Work is dumb and boring.

Did something like this happen to you recently? Well anyway, my answer is no. By default I wouldn't have a radio on in my work environment unless I had earphones attached to it. If I'm forgetful enough to leave it blaring, then by all means one of my co-workers is allowed to turn it down or off. Or even to a different station, although when I get back since it's mine I would just turn it right back to my own station. I'm easy-going like that.

I have a co-worker that leaves her radio on...well it is on right now, I can hear it. she has been gone for about 2 hours. I have turned it down in the past and she flips shit when I turn it down because she doesn't like people touching stuff on her desk. I understand, but I have right not to listen to her music that no one else is listening too.

Well she has absolutely no right to be upset, let alone "flip a shit." She may own the radio, (or maybe not, who knows) but she does not own the desk, does not own the building, and most certainly does not own the air particles that she is disturbing which distract co-workers and negatively affect productivity. If this is a repeat offence, she should be lucky that nobody has tipped off whoever it is that's in charge to the fact that she's disturbing the work environment.

If she cares enough about her radio to not want people to ever touch it, she should care enough about it to learn to turn it off when she leaves so nobody that doesn't want to hear her crap has to hear her crap. On top of shortening the life of the device, she is also wasting either her own batteries, or electricity that she does not own, and being a general *****.

 

[crop52]

for how long was she gone?
did you try to ask her to turn it down before she left?

everyone here seems to be making assumptions,
need clarification from OP,

Edit: oops, nevermind, i quickly skimmed through the thread, sorry guys
anyway, OP sounds completely reasonable in this situation,

Not for nothing, but it is hard to ask someone to turn off a radio or whatever if they have left before noticing that they were gone. For clarification purposes, I'm in a cubical with walls I can see over if I stand. So I can't see anyone coming or going.

 

[ErodedFaith]

This is creepy and it also boils my blood a bit because it reminds me of an old roommate who really would leave his TV on after he left for hours at a time. I'd be in the room trying to work and didn't want to hear fucking Kim Kardashian bang on about her cellulite (he was obsessed with E! in case you were wondering) so I'd turn it off. He'd come back and yell at me for doing so. This and other things got me so fed up with him we ended up having multiple fights, verbal and physical and culminated in him moving out (victory!)

 

[Spygon]

No the person is not actually using the device i am surprised they had not turned it off before leaving to be honest.

 

[Jodah]

No more than them asking me to turn it down while I am at the desk. Its mildly annoying but I'm not gunna shoot up the place for it.
