I'm an office manager for a small company, and our computer area is a small office in the back of a warehouse area. My job involves taking a lot of calls from customers, making quite a few calls to vendors/customers, and daily tasks that call for accounting and reconciliation. However, it just seems that some people can't help but make noise - turning up the radio in the warehouse so that it's loud even in my office, singing along in even louder voices, and coming into the office shouting (about nothing, sometimes just "Good morning" or even random noises), before checking to see if anyone's on the phone. I've noticed this phenomenon in other places, too. Why are some people just "loud"? And how can I successfully get them to quiet down, without offending anyone? It causes me great stress!
