…has “My Humps” playing on his cell phone. Someone’s calling him right now. It’s me. I’m just trying to annoy everyone else in the office. My plan is working… _wrings hands together evilly_ ---

My sister bought “Fergilicious” (sp?) as a ringtone and it’s got to be the worst ripoff in all of ringtone history. It would make sense to start the ringtone at the point where it, you know, actually sounds like a ringtone, but no. (Not that it would transform it into a _good_ ringtone, considering I don’t like the song, but…) I felt the same way when I downloaded “Tainted Love”, but at least the verses sound somewhat ringtoney. ---

Is your cube neighbour Michael Scott? 😃 (Did I hear right, that “My Humps” won a Grammy? Isn’t that the third sign of the Apocalypse?) ---

Checking this thread means I have to call again and look at everyone else shoot dirty looks towards his cube. I’m a dick. I’m glad it’s cold outside, so when they tar and feather him, it’ll be fun watching him run around outside with the steam coming off the tar. ---

My neighbor has Elvis singing “you are always on my mind” which isn’t nearly as bad as the guy down the hall who has the sound of a cat’s meow. I thought that there was a stray caught in the fucking ductwork as first. ---

I have a cube neighbor who’s got to be well past 70 years old, and his ringtone is _Hell’s Bells_ by **AC/DC** …I’m pretty sure he’s not an AC/DC fan; maybe he just liked the name of it and chose it. ---

My powers of dickitude know no bounds! I sauntered past the vending machine here at work. Two bags of Doritos and 4 bags of BBQ Lay’s were stuck in the machine. I figured I’d give the Doritos a shot. I put the change in, and I get two Doritos! I figure I’m up one bag, so I try my luck on the BBQ chips. All 4 come tumbling down. Buy 2, get 4 free, anyone? I AM THE MOST POWERFUL MAN IN ALL THE LAND! YOUR POWERS DO NOT SCARE ME, MORTALS!!! ---

The dude doesn’t have Caller ID? Beware. If he does, you might find yourself answering calls from a Want Ad that lists a “2006 Escalade, minor fender damage, sacrifice: $1,000” all weekend long. (On preview - **Sunspace** beat me to it.) ---

Nah, he knows who it is. He changed it to “London Bridges”. Equally annoying. 'Sides, I’ve already got the market cornered on fake personal ads to prank your roommates. Ah, what a great story… [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/my-cube-neighbor/392380.md?page=2)
