Failing that, move it to the corridor outside, and let natural selection take its course as it gets moved further and further from its starting point. Or possibly goes on a random walk.
Not as disturbing as the udder of the Boddingtons cow, who had a male voice and kept swinging it around as if it was a particularly impressive scrotum...
When previously working in an open plan office I seriously considered a mobile phone sin bin. A small, correctly sized, faraday cage which, when the phone is dropped inside, cuts it off from it's base station and renders the office tranquilly quiet once more.
As an alternative turn the phone off and leave this on their monitor.
The last time I saw a Jamster ad in the TV paper, they were proudly describing the frog as the most annoying tone! and seemed to be using its annoyingness as a selling point. I despair of human nature.
The creature was originally entitled "Annoying Thing" and was just an entry in some German artist's CGI portfolio. He, it would seem, is doing quite well out of our suffering now.
1. Switch it off and/or remove the battery. 2. donate the phone to one of those chairties that ask for old handsets 3. Beat the user to death with any handy implement for the sake of humanity.
Pour coca-cola in his pocket, then you can say somebody else did it because you're boycotting coke. Obviously this has the fatal flaw that you'd have to steal the coke in order to remain boycotting it, unless you use a different brand of phosphoric acid + caramel.
Give his mobile number to as many of those automated dialler scams in the States as you can get and make sure it's on every cold-call list in every call centre in the country. Cold callers and The States don't usually phone until evening so YOU would be safe from the noise.
Or you could invite him on a trip to the seaside and get one of your mates to phone him so that you could pull the phone out his hand just as he answers and throw it into the sea. That would be the one *I* would find most satisfying.
Find out his mobile number. Send him out of the room for just a few minutes and surreptitiously place superglue on the phone. Call the phone as he walks back in. Or fill up his answering service with messages from Sweetie the Chicken.
