    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:

    Seems like 'excuse me, your singing is distracting me, do you mind keeping the music in your head?' or similar would probably do the job.

      I ask the person, "Why is it rude when some one complains about someone else being loud and inconsiderate in the office?" The usual response is that it isn't rude. So I then use the opening to ask them to stfu.

            Shove a microphone in his face and say "the rest of the building can't hear you", "we have rodents in the building that need to be exterminated" or tell him he should audition for American Idol / The Voice / America's Got Talent and let them tell him how bad he is.

                Record it and play it back at high volume. Better if you can loop it with a 5 second delay. Just tell him you're trying to be helpful. :-\

                  Start singing yourself at the top of your lungs. Then when he (or someone else) complains say you'll stop if he stops.

                    A favorite of mine is to ask them "Hey, who sings that song?"... after they reply with the artist/band name, say "Lets keep it that way".

                      Record him and then play it back when he is singing something else. Loudly.
