Do you ever feel like standing up in the office (or library ...) and telling everyone to shut the fuck up?

One guy is playing music "quietly" through his PC speaker .. some kind of Bollywood soundtrack sounding shit - his new fucking nickname is Milton.

Another guy is pouring coffee - god damn, can't you fuckers go a few hours without a fucking drink of that shit?

And someone is scratching their face or arms or something ...

FUCK! SHUT THE FUCK UP!

It's in the moments I catch myself thinking a pointed "YOU BREATH TOO LOUD" at someone when I begin to consider I might be a sociopath.

But yes, they definitely SHOULD all shut the fuck up!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 15:20 (twenty years ago)

Dude, I think you're over reacting.
OH AM I TYPING TOO LOUD? I AM SO SORRY!

Dave's in thinking alike shocker! Though, really, I'll trade you the Bollywood soundtrack for some UConn Women's Basketball chatter & the gaggle of folks that convene around a nearby co-worker's desk late in the afternoon like it's a water cooler. Also, to whomever is laughing that whispery demure gasping laugh - DON'T GO THERE.

nick also OTM, though, w/ me, it's when the sentence "SHUT UP! YOU'RE CHEWING TOO LOUD!" nearly gets out.

And stop talking about free fucking ice cream - jesus christ, save a dollar on something you weren't going to buy anyway ...

Women in my office:
NO ONE WANTS TO SEE YOUR CAMELTOE!

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 15:27 (twenty years ago)

I might beg to differ, but that'd be harrassment. Then again, so might the cameltoe.

Does everyone in an office environment have an older male colleague who uses a speaker-phone exclusively?

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 15:30 (twenty years ago)

You bet. Speakerphone guy also clips his nails at his desk.

Sometimes when I think my boss cannot be any more irritating I can always thank god he does not know how to use speaker phone.

He lives right dab in the middle of clubland, he's been here for 30 years and won't move. So he spends all day on the phone fighting every single thing the city tries to do in the area and every little permit every single club in the area tries to get. And if he's not doing that he's ranting to one of his über conservative friends about how Toronto should ship all the homeless back to where they came from or some other similarly offensive right-wing issue. It wouldn't be so bad if they let me listen to my goddamn headphones.

I was this |...| close to asking him why he had to have a head yesterday.

my cube neighbor is on a personal call.. This is not the first time that I thought he sounded like Cartman on the phone. (Super-polite to the point of sounding fake, insane amount of inflection.)

― dave225 (Dave225), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 16:01 (twenty years ago)

Last night around 6pm I picked up an acoustic guitar that floats around this office I'm working at, and I started playing a very very soft, wordless version of "Sitting on Top of the World" .. this guy came over and said "do you mind?" I looked up at him and I was like "what? you don't like this song?" and gave him a shit-eating grin. I'm lucky he didn't smash the guitar over my head. Still I can't stand that expression. DO I MIND WHAT. WHAT. SAY IT. DO I MIND.. NOT PLAYING GUITAR? NO I DON'T. I DO MIND YOUR SNIVELLING ATTITUDE.

i cannot wait to quit so i can talk about my boss. clue: he is an internet journalist.

― NRQ, Wednesday, 2 March 2005 16:06 (twenty years ago)

Ha ha - that sounds awesome! Please tell me he's trying to sell aborted fetuses or buy bulk quantities of sperm.

Tracer - you have an office guitar? You think you'd be able to play the bloody thing.

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 16:09 (twenty years ago)

funny, I wish everyone in my office would actually make more noise. It's deathly quiet here most of the time, which tends to make people whisper when they try and talk to me. DON'T MAKE ME TURN MY INCREDIBLY NOISY FAN OFF SPEAK UP, MORON!

― Ste (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 16:10 (twenty years ago)

OFFICE GUITAR DOES NOT COMPUTE! OMG! I HAVE TEH HOW DO YOU SAY? AH YES...JEALOUS.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 16:11 (twenty years ago)

office guitar = "casual day" equiv of salaryman dummyboss + baseball bat

― mark s (mark s), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 16:21 (twenty years ago)

you have an office guitar
Is your boss's name David Brent?

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 16:22 (twenty years ago)

Now Cartman is scraping the bottom of his dish with his spoon. He can't get enough of that tasty broth, apparently.

― dave225 (Dave225), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 17:53 (twenty years ago)

It belongs to the guy who sits next to me, who's never here. The bridge is made out of a sharpie, so it's always slightly out of phase, like a honky-tonk piano. Maybe the do-you-mind fella has perfect pitch? nick just bring one in, everyone will start playing it and driving each other mad and then you win, somehow

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 19:02 (twenty years ago)

YES, I know that I said I like "old music".
NO, I'm sorry that I don't know who Roger Whittaker is.
