Female Coworker(no pics, you wouldn't want) from another department has an office next to mine and she keeps her door shut. She has gotten to where she sings a lot in her office throughout the day and I hear her and it can be distracting. She is nice and I don't want to embarrass her and kill her enthusiasm. What would the OT do to handle this?

A) Bang on the wall

B) Send passive aggressive email to her and her supervisor

C) Join in the singing

D) All of the above plus PIIHB

My coworkers used to accuse me of this but I had my headphones in and didn't hear anything so F them.

Now I work at home in my underwear and sing all freaking day

The very fact that you brought this up on a message board is equivalent to raping her you cisgendered sexist pig.

Ask her who sings that song and when she replies with the artist's name say "good, let's keep it that way."

Put an annoy-a-tron in her office and post a play by play on the OT

For a board with so many self proclaimed alphas there sure are a lot of threads about avoiding confrontation over trivial crap.

Just tell her that she has a great voice but that you’d appreciate her singing less as it’s distracting you from your work. Don’t be a dick, but let her know.

Sounds like some Mariah Carey or Adele, I haven't recognized any song though.

Do you really not have the confidence to express to your coworker that she's distracting you from your work?

Knock on her door
"Heyyyyyyy there Cathy, just letting you know I and a few others can hear the singing. And while it's not that big of a deal, it is a tad distracting-"

And if you're working with half arse decent people, she'll cut you off and apologize before you can even finish your thoughts.

Some damn people on this board I swear half of y'all are autistic
