The local coworking space here kicked me out for taking phone calls at my desk downtown
I get that some places want it quiet, but I was literally just talking to a client for maybe 5 minutes. The owner came over and told me to go to the hallway or leave. I don't think that's fair when half the people there are on Slack pinging each other louder than me. Has anyone else had a coworking space get weird about phone calls when it wasn't even in the rules?

Wait, is that really how they handled it? I used to think coworking spaces were just overreacting about calls, but honestly hearing stuff like this makes me think maybe it's a vibe thing and the owner was just having a bad day.

...oh come on, it's a phone call for five minutes. I get being annoyed if someone's on a speakerphone screaming at their mom for an hour but a regular call to a client...feels like you're getting kicked out for breathing. I've worked in cafes louder than most coworking spaces and nobody bats an eye at typing or chatter. Seems like the owner just had a bug up their butt that day
