My boss is a loud talker.
I could go on for pages about him, but my favorite story is this one:

I was in my office, happily working away, and I could hear my boss down the hall talking to someone. Nothing new, sometimes he's mad about something, but this time not.

Suddenly, my boss needed to talk to our co-worker Craig.

"So where's Craig?" he yells, which is his way of calling Craig, instead of using the phone or walking to Craig's office. "Hey Craig!"

I could hear Craig's muffled voice somewhere.

"Craig?" my boss called again.

More muffled responses from Craig somewhere.

"Craig?" My boss was now walking down the hall. "Where are you?"

Another muffled response from Craig.

"The bathroom?" My boss yells, in genuine surprise. "What are you doing in the bathroom?"

He had actually opened the bathroom door before he figured out why Craig was in the bathroom.
