who had a 20 minute conversation on the phone in my cubicle. Look, I know that my cubicle faces one of the largest conference rooms in the building. And I know you're probably from some other country over the ocean, so you probably don't have your precious cellphone so you can't talk directly outside my cubicle while yapping away over whether England beat Portugal or whatever.
But if you ask to use my telephone "for just a second," and then spend 5 minutes trying to dial out, then another 15 minutes calling a series of hotels, restaurants and tourist attractions while I'm trying to answer my morning e-mail for the day, then it's not "just a second" anymore and you FIND AN EMPTY CUBICLE AND USE IT.
And hello?! We're in America. No one says "queue up" when you wait in line; that is why the nice person at the Alcatraz tours office had you repeat the phrase "queueing up" like, 150 times. In America, to say that we're waiting in line, we say the phrase, I don't know, "WAITING IN LINE."
