......Is the single most annoying thing ever.
Yesterday I had to endure 9 hours of a constant whine in my ear. By mid day I stopped fake-laughing, nodding my head, or making any kind of recognition noises or signs and looked straight ahead yet he kept talking to me. When I blankly refused to laugh at one of his many, horrifically unfunny jokes he poked me and said "hey, what's wrong with you? do you not know how to laugh" and it was the closest i've ever come to pulling out some ones eye balls and spitting in the bloody sockets.
If he sits next to me today their could be a shooting incident. Stay tuned to international affairs.

What sort of job do you have?
I worked in a telemarketing job for a bit, and this canadian dude made a joke loudly about how women smell like fish, and we were the only dudes in this sub-office of 7 people. I laughed at how pwned he was by the ladies following said remark.
I think he killed himself. :p

There's this guy I work with who used to talk to me about his boyfriend until I told him that gays make me REALLY uncomfortable.

We have a new guy who always tries to talk to me in the hallway, next to cubicles where other people work. And he's always trying to talk about something controversial that we shouldn't talk about at work (religion/politics). I've shh'ed him over and over but he has no common sense.
It pisses me off because I feel like a buzzkill or something but if he keeps doing this to me people are going to think that I'm encouraging it and I have no sense. :mad:

there's an old guy at work with more lines on his face than Robert Downey Jr has done lines of coke and EVERY time he walks past for a break he goes
'...Nearly Christmas'
Baseball bats should be allowed in the workplace
You have other people at your workplace?
i hate that too. they usually don't talk to me, i'm not a very good conversationalist, and they pick up on that fairly quickly. but they're always talking to each other, and i have to listen.
like this one woman who found out about this new way to cook corn, and she told the story like 5 times in the span of about 10 minutes to 5 different people. i don't care! why do you have to talk so much about nothing? just shut up! it's like you know how sharks have to swim to survive? with some people it's like that, only with talking, i guess.
I'd like to know how to cook corn differently.
Anyway, this thread is great. A little over a month ago, this girl, which I thought was very good looking, was transfered to my department and sat at the desk next to mine. I was pretty pumped for about a week until the ice eventually broke and our conversations got past the humdrum bullshit. Since then, this girl will not shut the fuck up. I mean, fuck. She's tellin me this story about her fucking dog shaking off rain on her (one of her more stimulating tales) and I try pretending that I'm really involved in my work so she might shut the fuck up for 2 mintues, but no, she's all "Randy, I feel as though I'm not getting your attention." I'm all "Maybe because you're not, Jenea, I'm kinda busy." Then she'll try to give me a guilt trip cuz I'm not listening to her bullshit. Also, she starts talking close to my quitting time (7 pm), and you can't walk away. I really dont like to hurt people's feelings, but one of these days, when it's after 7 and I'm standing up from my desk with my cds and shit ready to leave for 10 minutes while she rambles on, I might blow up.:(
Sorry............so Bob, what's up with this corn?
honestly, i don't even remember. i was too busy hating her
it involves the microwave, this i know. i think you cut holes in the husk and fill it with water or something

I'm fake laughing and nodding for about 20 minutes a day. He somehow finds me ever single time on my way home. He talks about what he's going to do today, useless bullshit. How much he's studies for a test, stuff about a video game I've ever touched/have no itentions of going near. This will all end soon, thankfully.
A little irrelevent... For an entire hour today I had to listen to three girls talk about what they did last weekend/what they're going to do this weekend. Worst hour of my day. The entire class knows what they're doing now for fucks sakes. i nearly took a pencil and jammed it up my ear drum just so i didn't have to listen to them laugh and giggle.
One of these days, I know it, I'm going to crack and go ballistic.
