Worst one I've heard was about 2 weeks ago where somebody was saying "GUUUAAARRRDD" about once every 30 seconds for 5-10 minutes. Finally took a guy saying "your FO should have a spine and learn to speak up and you should set the example" to get them to stop. (Either from laughter or shame.. Probably laughter.)
It's alright to have a little fun every now and then but when you have to switch off 2 because there's so much "work work work work" it's a problem.
