A polite way of telling Co-worker to SHUT UP?


i have a MASSIVE headache and i share an office with the most anoying person EVER i told him i have a head ache and he is still whistling and talking REALLY loud to ppl across the office, what is a NICE way of telling him if he dosnt shut up im going to sew his lips closed?

Okay, you told him you have a headache, Now say, hey Co-work, I still have the headache, would you mind not whistling today? I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks!
(Now get back to work, lol)

Just say that.

just take an ipod or something to work

He seems immature. Calmly tell him please, can you stop this, it's really bothering me. He should listen...he works at an office--he's not a kid.

I work in a factory......so......"Man, shut the **** up" comes to mind......probably not appropriate in an office atmosphere.

You could remind him politely that you have a headache.....and "could you please keep it down?"

Just say- I'm sorry but could you please quiet down, my head is really killing me.
As long as you are nice about it I am sure he will comply

Here's a step by step article for dealing with this. I just love Ehow.com!

If none of this works, buy a box of Gobstopper candies and offer one to the coworker everytime they start in. They should get it eventually:)

Good luck to you.

just tell him you don't meen to be rude but he is being waaay to loud and he needs to think of other people.... if he gets mad he will most likely be very quiet to think about how mad he is.

just keep making a big deal of how much your head hurts and everytime u hear him start talking just scream out "OW" and tell him if he asks u whats wrong, tell him " my head hurts so much and it sux i can't have any peace and quiet!" but it makes it seem like ur not reffering to him

I'm sorry X, maybe you don't realize it but your voice is carrying to my cubicle and I'm finding it hard to concentrate today with the migrane headache I mentioned to you before. I know I'm being a pain, but do you think you could walk over there to speak with X and so, or perhaps use IM?

If the politeness doesn't work then you might have to just be kind of rude and say to him to be quiet. Or tell your supervisor that you asked him nicely to keep it down and he didn't do it.

Good luck....hope you feel better soon. I get migranes and they suck.

Just tell him "I have a really bad migraine and you wonder if you wouldn't mind keeping the sound a little softer...thanks a bunch (co workers name here)" Hope that helps

ppl dont respond well to hostility so i suggest u try to kill him with kindness or at least a compromise, offer him something in return for him to behave the way you want him to- like a soda for some quiet maybe?

gift wrap a roll of duck tape and give to him

Take him by the arm to a private corner and look him in the eye and tell him...I have already told you I have a headache and you gave no regard to that with your actions and I now have a migraine I just want to thank you for that and when I puke I'm going to make sure I'm right next to you if you continue. then walk away.

Tell him that he is really distracting you and that you would greatly appreciate it if he could quiet down a little bit. Tell him it's hard to be productive when there is a constant distraction. Or ask your manager to advise him to keep it down a little. I hope everything works out. Good Luck.

Put your index finger perpendicular to your mouth and utter SHHHHHHHHHH really loud.

hi.. before you talk, i think you need a toothbrush....... lol.. not really nice but it would shut him up..
