I was absolutely amazed when I read this today - I have almost exactly the same problem.  I sit opposite a really lovely lady but she can talk for England and she doesn't shut up when I have headphones in doing audio.  I have been racking my brains for some way to solve it - like your poster's colleague, she is a very emotional, tearful lady and I'm afraid if I say anything she will get really upset.  All I can do is try to keep typing and hope the boss comes out and gives her another job or her phone rings so I can have some peace.  Are these sort of people clones are or they more common than we think?
