You owe it to yourself to click here really.
Only if you read The Guardian.
It's caused by picking the phone up with one hand then using the other to hold it to your ear and/or putting the reciever down with the mouth and ear ends opposite (upsidedown) to when you picked the phone up.
The solution is to put the phone on the side of the desk that your non writing hand is on (so you don't switch hands when needing to write) and always put the phone down in the same orientation that it was when you picked it up.

thats just the way it should be anyway!
i have to say, i need to stand on a chair and let the cord go normal once a week tho.. and my phone IS on my non-writing side (so i can write stuff/use my mouse at the same time, genius!)

ok, i'm not sure what you're all doing, but mine never gets like that.
No chair standing needed but, my phone is on my non-writing side - not that I do any writing!
(maybe it's some complicated equation involving length - again, one of life's little mysteries!)
Mine is 31 cm by the way.

I think that is that problem solved so on to the next one.
Why do people insist on SHOUTING down their mobile phones when the signal is rubbish?
Signal to Noise Ratio?

Every night a small army of Space Monkeys invades the office, produces special knitting needles and get going on the telephone curls. It's the only logical explanation.
I get told off for this one, as if people are loud on the end of my phone, I talk louder... my boss then glares at me. ooops!
but it is annoying!
It's not as if the excess energy expelled by the vocal chords from the caller is going to be converted by the handset into a power source that is going to amplify their signal... unless Nokia have released a new N99 Shouty Edition recently.
I just tell them that they have been turned into a Darlek by the GSM codec used which confuzzles a few folks
It's related to the 'shout at foreigners' syndrome, to make them understand what you are saying.
if the signal goes completely you have to shout REALLY loudly
1.21 GIGAWATTS!!!!!
Reminds me of movies where someone's on the phone, the other party hangs up, you hear the dialtone and they're still at the "Dave? .... Dave?" as if that's going to bring the other person back over the dialtone

Blokes don't tangle them up.
The only explanation is that a woman's been using your phone at some point.
