I have resorted to wearing headphones and listening to Classic Rock and '80s One Hit Wonders in order to drown out the silly rantings of the Southern Belles that like to hang out and 'chat' during lunch time in the employee lounge.
Unfortunately, it's proximity to my work station is too close for comfort so I have a choice to make... get a headache from all the inane conversation or jack up the Led Zeppelin to try and drown them out.
Why do people think that all others are interested in what their kid did in school yesterday and why do they feel the need to share it in ear splitting tones?
