Who is the “Deranged Self-Talker”?
This is the person who talks to, yells at or sings along with their computer or other office machinery.
They will also sometimes, simply talk (generally) pretty loudly to themselves.
What do you do?
Be nice yet again, but assert yourself. “Joe, I can’t concentrate with you always talking to your computer, do you even realize you’re doing it?” is not a bad option. If you really can not get this person to stop, you may need to go over their head.
Sadly, again, there are those who may not listen no matter what. At this point you need to consider escalating further, directly to HR maybe.
