Annoying coworker

One of my friends works in a cubicle next to a woman with a shrill, squeaky, LOUD voice, who NEVER shuts up. Talks at my friend all the time.

She asked me about sound-deadening headphones.

 

I'm not an expert, my kids are not experts in this, but DS1 had a buddy who is an expert in all things related to computer and communication equipment.

 

this gentleman has a recommendation:

http://www.amazon.com/Bose-QuietComfort-25-Headphones-Black/dp/B00M1NEUKK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1428625576&sr=8-3&keywords=noise+cancelling+headphone#Ask

Any other ideas? These are $300.

Go to HR. Play some low music.

Tell her to shut up.

Of course use nicer words.

I've worked with this type of person. I have my headset to my phone on the ready. If they come into my area I turn around, put my finger to my lips and point at the phone. They go away. If over the cube wall I will say "I'm on a call, can you keep it down?" I will also go to whomever is in charge.

It was a suggestion.

She told me she tried a white noise generator, but HR made her shut it off after "someone" complained.

All suggestions are good, potentially helpful. Brainstorming comes up with both good and questionable options.

Any headset would do. She doesn't need to spend $300.

Bring her a huge sandwich.

Keep candies and when she starts yapping, toss one over. If she has her mouth full, maybe she can't talk.
