I don't know the full details but it appears that Loud Lady tested her annoying loudness on AM. There was a reckoning and confrontation of some sort. I learnt a long time ago, not to mess with the H Girls. You have no chance to win. I'm not sure what compelled Loud Lady to test the waters? Donut Girl had just returned from vacation, maybe during her absence, Loud Girl gained a toehold on the office volume levels and wanted to test AM's tolerance.
Loud Girl's inability to understand that noise pollution in an open office environment can annoy other people, will result in confrontation. Some people grudgingly tolerate annoying behaviour, but Donut Girl is not one of them. I note in my area of the office, some people listen to music with headphones. I use a fan to drown out ambient noise. Our area is much quieter. I get startled when the phone rings.
I contacted AM to get the full story today. It appears that she used the stare down method. A very effective method of expressing displeasure without verbal, or physical intervention. A method never deployed by men. I believe she internally counted 5 steamboats and the message was delivered. It is unclear if she deployed the hands on the hips option. Very clever!
