It's better to use your phone microphone. If you are listening to music, you can be bothered. If you are on the phone or in a teleconference, you can't.

frznkyo578yI always put on my headphone when my boss around. It's better than listening to some bullshit.

Anyone else put in headphones with absolutely no intention of listening to anything, just to make people less likely to bother you?
