Many of us have SOP's that require monitoring guard. I wouldn't mind the chatter so much if ANY of it was funny. Step up your game or ŚTFÜ. And if you're clearing people into a ramp then karma will get you eventually. Possibly but the guy sitting next to you who thinks you're a POS and happens to have a say where you get hired someday.
Also for those of you who get on there and lecture guys about being professional, that's exactly what they want and you're only making it worse.
