I hate people that use the speakerphone on EVERY SINGLE CALL

I had a moment of schadenfreude, however, when the big boss came down the hall and closed the offender's office door.

Score!

Speakerphones are gay!

I always make people repeat themselves until they pick up the phone in frustration.

My favorite, is CEO's who give conference calls that are going to be heard all over the world. If your company is worth a gazillion dollars, they can buy you a headset.

Speakerphones are what now?

Oh no. _Now_ you tell us ?? *repressing memories of many many conversations with you on speakerphone*

I once felt your exact pain, just four times over.

I used to tell my ex "the reason we have a phone is so you DON'T have to shout".

I'd have to say something. It's the height of rudeness.

I think I'd have to, to, although I'd probably say it to a/her supervisor.

Edna was being a pain during a show when we were in college. Paul put up a notice next to the sign-in sheet, saying he was collecting for a hit on her.

It stopped, and she even bought him a plant, as a closing night gift!

I'd suggest anonymity at work, though!
