Don't you hate

[Echewta]

when you are going to get some water in the office and then you see a person you dont want to talk to in the kitchen heading in the same direction so you have to turn around because you don't want to get stuck listening to thier annoying voice but you are really thirsty so you kill time by making a post hoping they are gone by the time you hit submit new thread?

[Qdrop]

all the fuckin time.

hell, look at my post count.

[b i o n i c]

don't be a pussy :P just let them speak and walk away after you're done. that'll be the end of that.

[roosta]

if i posted all the threads/posts i start and then abandon, id have twice the amount of posts.

you'd also have a much lower opinion of me.

[Echewta]

But when they speak, I imagine my external auditory meatus is like a big old growth forest with a bunch of lumber jacks singing songs about paper towels and sawing away to make raw product for nuclear families.

[Sarky Devotchka]

When I'm waiting for an elevator and someone who I don't like starts waiting too, I pretend to notice something in my mailbox as the elevator arrives so that I can take the next one by myself. :o

[ToucanSpam]

Just approach them and fart.


You'll never see that person again.

At my work, the elevator is mirrored nearly from floor to ceiling. On the inside of the elevator, there is nothing immediately above the doors. Usually elevators have floor numbers that light up as you approach the floor. My elevator: nothing. Just mirrors. So you sometimes try to avert your eyes but if you screw up and look in the mirror at the other person in the elevator and see that he's already looking at you in the mirror, THEN where do you put your eyes? I take the stairs as much as I can.

Ha Ha! If I catch someone's eye, I try not to look away immediately. I tend to yawn and pretend that I wasn't really seeing him/her, even if our eyes met. :o

There is an unspoken code in elevators. I often talk to strangers in elevators because it unsettles them. I'm on the 18th floor now, but I took the stairs when I was closer to the ground. But it's more awkward to run into someone on the stairs. Less likely, but more awkward.

If there's one place where advertising belongs--even the cheesy neon scrolling stuff--it's in elevators. All over every surface.

[cosmo105]

was it that freaky temp that bumped into me and then apologized and then turned and was all serious and asked all concerned HOW ARE YOU TODAY?

[Echewta]

I forgot about her. Theres two now. :\

[cosmo105]

tell her i said hi and i'm doing fine. ask her how she is, too.

[DapperDiverge]

i just do what everybody else does (or did) when trying to avoid people... have i mentioned on previous threads that im not a people person?? well anyways:

talk on my cell phone, even if there isn't anyone on the other line

listen to my cd player/ mp3 player and turn the volume on my head phones full blast so even they can hear my music from yards away

read a magazine/newspaper (preferably while wearing headphones) and really try to look interested into the article

just start talking to myself and others will assume i'm insane

dressing in clothes so drab that i appear invisible

play a hand held game like game boy or ninenendo advanced/PSP

that's all i can think of that i do.... it works like a charm!;)
and if i need water, i'll just do what those daycare workers told me back when i was 5... "swallow your spit!"... i have no spit to swallow... i then started to cry...."then lick your tears!"

i'm not a people person...hmmm wonder why?
