How do you tell one of your cow-orkers to stop playing music and singing at his desk - WITHOUT being labelled a rude, antisocial asshole. Yes, I DO have headphones on already, but it doesn't help. :mad:

just do it. I have been known to hum a tune or two while working on code. One of the best guys I'v ever worked with looked over and said, "Dude, nothing personal but the hummming is killing my concentration." I had no problem with shutting up - mutual respect.

Don't do it - it'll be seen as a sign of weakness and they'll just do it all the more to wind you up.

No friggin' way - he's one of THOSE - if you know what I mean? He would just think I was coming on to him. :~ [EDIT] Before anybody tells me off, NO - it's no problem for me really - I was just trying to phrase it in a diplomatic way... [/EDIT]

Just because a thing is new don’t mean that it’s better - Will Rogers, September 4, 1932Simply join in LOUDLY. Bonus points for slightly off key. Then wait for them to complain, take the nasty labels upon themselves, and be much more willing to accept your suggestions.

All of the above. I can hear the music (vaguely), he has headphones on, and yes, he is singing quite loudly...
