| 1226549 | 2011-08-28 09:24:00 | I'm not really sure. Some background on this... One of my flatmates had some complaints about noise levels(walls are really thin, we can hear very clearly when someone is talking next door). Instead of talking it over with the rest of the flat, she decided the best course of action would be to immediately file complaints with management. I missed the initial meeting with the manager and she basically sent me emails demanding i see her on monday or she will kick me off the premises. The girl who filed the complaint has also conveniently gone on a 3 week holiday. I have no idea why management is getting involved because we can easily solve this among ourselves. Ive only met this manager once before and that involved her being rude, offensive and interrupting me multiple times mid sentence. I dont expect this meeting to be any different really. Best to start hunting for a new place now in case the manager makes the meeting outcome a total mess and difficult for you. |

People just stuff it into their jeans pocket usually. Or put it on the table if they have no pockets or bag. I beg to differ I hold mine in my hand alot. Its part of me. |

| 1226551 | 2011-08-28 12:43:00 | Why not just put it into your pocket? Holding it in your hand is a constant risk of dropping or bumping it. | Question (15792) | ||
| 1226552 | 2011-08-28 13:53:00 | Not sure how you can solve the phone problem, unless you can attach an external mic or something, or hold it in your hand without looking suspicious... I get a bit annoyed when I call some company, and they say they may record the conversation for training purposes... you pretty much _have_ to get potentially recorded if you want to actually talk to someone. I think next time that happens I'll tell them I'm recording it as well for nefarious purposes. |

| 1226553 | 2011-08-29 11:36:00 | Managed to record it. Voices are kind of soft, but i can hear them clearly at max volume. Nothing particularly juicy on it though. Was about 15 mins of the manager repeatedly accusing me of some very strange things, most of which i had never heard of before (hair in the bathroom? wtf?) and watching my reactions. Was a complete waste of the time and bus fare as i expected. |

| 1226555 | 2011-08-29 12:21:00 | Well there's that. I'm only going to be here for a few more months anyway (halfway through the semester). Downside is that she apparently told my flatmates some stuff, and now they think i've been causing trouble since the first semester. Good job on the slandering there... |

Run it through Audacity (www.google.com ad%2F&rct=j&q=audacity&ei=iptbTsvBItLYiALXr4CYCQ&usg=AFQjCNGBJLDm0KSgnOelF6BcW-B4HbTd0A&sig2=P4pxjlO8Ys87G7rlaLZyyg&cad=rja) and correct the volume and you'll have a fully audible recording. Don't forget to download LAME (www.google.com) too, to convert it to MP3 format. |
