The activity that is taking place on the floor directly over your office or cubicle. It sounds suspiciously like orangutans wrestling aligators in a dumpster.
It is still less annoying than some putz failing to turn off the all-page while they shuffle papers and manipulate their stapler.

Get the full-contact accounting mug.In the digital age we all have a multitude of options for communication. It can be inferred that there is a kind of "Contact Hierarchy" and "Contact Continuum" as not all modes hold the same weight with communication ranging from 1-10.
Hierarchy of contact in 2010 as defined by this contributor:
1. Face to face
2. Telephone
3. Personal Letter
4. SMS, BBIM
5. Email
6. Personal message eg FB
7. Instant Message eg FB, MSN
8. Wall postings, comments
8. "Like," "Poke"
9. Nil contact.
10. Active blocking of contact.
Note: Higher order = increased responsiveness.
A more serious and/or important matter or message would attract a higher order of communication, with the top order being face to face. There are so many ways to communicate, the options are greater than ever before. But is all modes of communication the same, and attracting the same weight of force? Therefore there is a hierarchy. This may vary per user, but there is a hierarchy.

Hierarchy of Contact refers to how the more important the message or reason to communicate, or the person to communicate with, the higher in the order that communication would be. Conversely, less important is therefore lower.
Example, you really need to speak with someone about something serious, you want to face to face with them. If its not serious at all, you might make a posting on their social network wall.
At the end of the hierarchy is active blocking, where someone deliberately refuses any mode of contact.

Get the Coontact mug.A military term used to described your ass. Comes from paratrooper training. When you land after a jump, you hit the ground and roll. This causes your 1st POC to be the balls of your feet. 2nd POC is your calves. 3rd POC is your back of your thigh. 4th POC is you ass, and 5th Point Of Contact is your shoulder blade.
The idiot who listed 5th point of contact with a similar definition needs to get his head out of his 4th point of contact.
