    Default Should I just go ahead and say something?

    So before the crash, I had brought up an issue I have with the gal that works at the office for us. Okay, she's a hard worker and really pulls her own weight, and seeing how my boss (dad) has never fired anyone before this is kind of a strange place. For one, she's really stupid- a couple weeks ago she asked me what (spelling it out phonetically how she said it) a "Nazz-eee" was (she meant Nazi but didn't recognize the word at all)... facepalm. But I digress, her stupidity is driving me nearly to the point of insanity. Here is issue #1: Now, sometimes this affects work, but most of the time it just is a minor annoyance that will hopefully be fixed this week when we get Comcast internet. She listens to streaming radio from whatever alt rock/smooth rock (the stuff middle aged women listen to) station in Denver she likes... KOSI 101? Well, as some of you more interweb savvy folks know, streaming video and/or music slows your bandwidth down and makes the internet go slooowwww. She has it going all day, at barely audible volumes so the music itself is not annoying, but the internet gets slowed down and on top of it, the stupid bitch complains when the internet slows down! WTF Batman!? She always says how slow it gets at times and on more than one occasion I've told her that it's because of her internet radio stream that slows it all down. She tries to argue or whatever, but never really sees that SHE is the cause of this problem. I've told her several times as nice and tactful as possible but today I'm trying to study for a test and if the page takes 2min to load, or fails to altogether, I get frustrated. I'm about to lose my cool and blow up on her. Advice please! And let's refrain from the here we go again bs, I need actual usable advice...

    A little- we share a lot of the load here at work so it's not terrible... and hell no, she's chunky and pretty freaking ugly. You couldn't drink her cute.

    Where did she receive her advanced education? From which graduate program did she matriculate? How many neuro-surgeries are you performing on a weekly basis at your work facility?

    Everyone has value. When you fail to find the value in another human being, the fault is often your own.

    Does the router have something called QOS (quality of service)? You could set it up so that her computer gets limited speeds, or streaming audio gets limited speeds, whatever is supported. Problem solved.

    I must be a horrible, selfish, sorry excuse for a man... I've been absolutely convinced, on more than one occasion, that a particular person is worthless. I'm still pretty sure of that opinion.
    I guess if you consider someone's "value" to be forcibly instilling patience and tolerance on everyone around them, then sure, they have value. I can relate to the OP.

    My advice to him is to flat out tell her that it's her own fault and to close that dang radio website so all of your internet speeds back up.

    From a techie standpoint, you're right on. From an edification standpoint for the guilty party, you're only enabling the stupidity with this solution.

    You could suggest to her to use her own phone to stream radio.
