Cube farm dwellers: How do you deal with a loud co-worker? Bonus question: Given no consequences, how would you deal?

The guy next to me is super loud on the phone. Ahhhh Cube Life!

Headphones and loud music. Drowns most everything out.

I feel as if there is some "self importance" given when they use the speaker phone. I think that's what TV has taught us. Assholes.

We're all fucking loud. We yell obscenities at each other. Sometimes customers hear. If someone is being too loud, we just yell at them to shut the fuck up.

We have a somewhat liberal office.

Sounds like the place I used to work at. The people who got annoyed by it or needed silence would just get noise cancelling headphones - which management offered to pay for.
