What to do about this weird guy in the office who always stares at me

He's not crushing on me, he's just always looking over here in a passive "hey catch my eye so I can make annoying conversation about my inversion table" or if that doesn't work, he'll stand up and crack his back and then look over here.

I'd like to post the image of him BTW but it's not working for me. a little help?

(this is the same bloke who set me up with the wrong girl, the short fella)

Introduce him to ILX, then he'll just stare at the computer screen.

I've got one of those, too. Comes into the office and says some lame gossip like "Kevin left the windows down in his I-Roc and now it's raining!" He then just stands there, staring at me, expecting me to jump out of my chair laughing or screaming or something.

He also once had lunch with Alice Cooper. Again, I'm trying to correct the dates on programs before I archive them here.

any clue on hwo to post the image? I tried the "img src" thing but as you can see it's not there.

You could always just link us to the not-a-midget.

ah it works.

― Gear! (Gear!), Friday, 16 July 2004 17:52 (twenty-one years ago)

keep in mind that I didn't ask him to pose, I just surreptiously snapped it with my phone.

― Gear! (Gear!), Friday, 16 July 2004 17:52 (twenty-one years ago)

great, now he's looking at ME.

he's vibing me out. i think the blurry picture only adds to teh disturbing mental image i had already created. we have a similar IT guy here and i just pick up paper and walk away witha vague faraway look on my face. that's worked for me

Sing him "Sara Smile"

He's one of those people, and we all know the type, who if you make eye contact with them for a millisecond, it's an opening for them to engage you in awful conversation or poke their nose in your business.

― Gear! (Gear!), Friday, 16 July 2004 18:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Fake deafness.

― oops (Oops), Friday, 16 July 2004 18:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Wear sunglasses. That way, you NEVER make true eye contact.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 16 July 2004 18:21 (twenty-one years ago)

And if that doesn't work, flyness.

He also laughs annoyingly, makes farting noises, cracks his neck and knuckles, tells awful jokes, gives silly nicknames, and claims to have dined with a "very friendly" Puff Daddy.

― Gear! (Gear!), Friday, 16 July 2004 18:23 (twenty-one years ago)

You never did hook up with that girl, did you?

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 16 July 2004 18:24 (twenty-one years ago)

We were both too weirded out to pursue anything and we parted ways with a friendly conversation and a handshake. She feels that my coworker there is "nuts".

― Gear! (Gear!), Friday, 16 July 2004 18:25 (twenty-one years ago)

You should put up one of those cubicle-dividing-walls. Tell him you're trying to get some feng shui up in that piece.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 16 July 2004 18:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Your ceiling is all crooked. You're not another radio person, are you?

This reminds me that I meant to start a thread entitled "What to do about this weird guy in the office who always writes about me on the internet and who assumes false identities on Craigslist often looking for homosexual activities"

― dean? (deangulberry), Friday, 16 July 2004 18:29 (twenty-one years ago)

P-Diddy and Alice Cooper both claim to have dined with ME. Not true, though.

― briania (briania), Friday, 16 July 2004 18:41 (twenty-one years ago)

hmm the ceiling is all crooked, I never noticed that.

― Gear! (Gear!), Friday, 16 July 2004 18:42 (twenty-one years ago)

I think you should ask him out on a date.

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Friday, 16 July 2004 19:16 (twenty-one years ago)

he might stop staring if you start blowing him kisses or hang your cock out of your pants. or both.
this could also backfire horribly and i therefore strongly recommend you try this.

― dyson (dyson), Friday, 16 July 2004 19:19 (twenty-one years ago)

his reaction was sort of ambiguous.

gear can you link to the story about the girl he set you up with? i must have missed that episode.

― amateur!st (amateurist), Friday, 16 July 2004 20:04 (twenty-one years ago)

AGGH my midget co-worker has caused me trouble!

― Gear! (Gear!), Friday, 16 July 2004 20:04 (twenty-one years ago)

He's not crushing on me

Or so you think!
