This goes back awhile, but my first job out of college, my desk

was in-between the offices of two of our buyers. They both had a tendency to have every conversation on speakerphone. I kinda get it in their case...every conversation they had required looking stuff up on the computer during the conversation. You really need both hands free to do that. But one day, one of them had a "quick" question for the other that turned into a ten minute conversation. They both were on speakerphone, with me stuck in between the two.
