        Talk with your mouth full. If they get sprayed, so be it. It was their idea in the first place.

          So this new person in the office has their computer sounds blaring every time they have an error or get an email, which is frequently. I jokingly ask "Ok, who has their mute off?"

          Nothing.

          The pings and bells keep going, constantly. So I ask around and someone says, "Oh, it's so and so." And I say, "So and so, any chance you can mute your computer?" She asks, "So I have to hit one of the buttons on my computer?" My coworker chimes in, "Yeah, he doesn't like it when you have you computer playing sounds. So you could just hit the mute button. Or you can be your own person and do what you want."

          Yeah, or you can be someone who's considerate of others in the office.

            I was doing more Ancestry (on a real kick lately) and I found a distant cousin that works with you. Well, works in the same place as you (and GE, and countless others, I know), but he is in engineering, so figured there might be a better chance you know him. Does this person with computer volume issues have my last name?

                  She does not. In fact, I did a quick search for your last name and didn't come up with anything.

                  Edit: Nix that. The search function doesn't work properly. None of their profile pictures have a neat hat though. Must be a really distant cousin.

                    Not real distant, but distant. His grandpa is my great grandpa's brother, so, his dad and my grandpa are first cousins.

                      I think that makes you second cousins, once removed....

                        Either that or 3rd OR. Up and down are "removeds". Lateral are "first, second, etc."

                          Which means he and your father (or mother, I'll assume the former given the last name match) are second cousins. That would make your relation to him a second cousin once removed.

                                THis. I just mumble something when asked. I have had it explained to me a bunch of times. In one ear or eye and out the other.
