There's a guy outside my office door losing it right now.

He's on his cell phone, and he's trying to talk privately and doesn't seem to know my office is here. He's telling someone about a friend he just saw in the obituary pages, and trying not to break down. I don't know whether to cough or stay quiet.

1. Stay quiet, no reason to make it worse.

2. Yeah, that's what I did. He's gone now. Not easy to hear. nt

3. Pick up your phone and pretend to talk to someone

He'll hear you talking and move away. And you save both of you any embarrassment. Oops! To late. You did the right thing.

4. Mouth farts. REALLY loud ones. A double-hander is best, but an inside of elbow will do.

However you can make them the best and loudest - bonus points for multiple-ripple effects.

I wonder what The Lorax would say about your response to the original post.
