In my company, I think it's personal phone calls first and foremost.  It amazes me the amount of time people spend on personal phone calls.  Sometimes it is people with kids (one woman I worked with took at least 8 or 9 phone calls from her 3 kids every day on her cell phone and these were all teenagers).  And sometimes it is just personal business being conducted during the day at work (setting up appointments, etc.).  Why do people think they have the right to do that on business time?  I understand sometimes there are things that just have to be done during the day and you don't have any option.  But then you should keep it as brief as possible.  A lot of people seem to think they are being paid by make phone calls and arrange their personal life!!!
