My pet peeve is when someone keeps staring at me while I try to surreptitiously masturbate during meetings.

pplains, Thursday, 1 November 2012 17:20 (eleven years ago) link

Oh, wait. That's actually my favorite thing about my co-workers.

But yeah, that's totally fucking insane, but I might have to try clenching my buttocks to the beat in private now, just to investigate what was going on there.

Any song recommendations?

Hmmm, can't remember what we played in class.. perhaps Ode to Joy? I was flute, in the front row to the side, so my friends & I had an excellent view of his pulsating buttocks.

It just seems so exhausting to keep clenching. But perhaps it will make my ass perkier. He was not creepy in any other way, at least.

Omg my 3rd grade teacher used to do a bum-wiggle when he conducted us in music lessons. I distinctly remember him doing it to 'Memory' from Cats

See, this is what I'm thinking!

My ass, not yours, to clarify.

Who couldn't use a slightly perkier ass? Why the hell not!

Uh...in public - at work?? I'm not saying heavy people are ugly - far from it, just that they might be less vain! I'm sorry but people who show off at work tend to be, uh..."hot" in the conventional sense of the term.

So, hot women with dancer's legs are more likely be vain, as demonstrated by... masturbating during in a work meeting? I thought your first comment was pretty offensive (tent dress? bite me) but now I just think you are a very strange person with a weird view of women.

PS women who cross their legs and jiggle them during meetings are not masturbating, regardless of their size, dress preferences, or the shape of their legs, unless you work at Adam and Eve.

Thread got weird.

update on mayor awesome, he's now becoming the office nickname guy. first was me, and now another co-worker's down. i'm kinda curious to see where this goes.

Spectrum, Thursday, 1 November 2012 18:45 (eleven years ago) link

carl otm btw. I forgot to post how pissed off I was about the tent dresses bit. and weight/vanity correlation is just hilarious. I'll have you know I am +/-230 pounds and I look in the mirror ALL the time. And love what I see!

she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Thursday, 1 November 2012 18:49 (eleven years ago) link

If you had an, um, normal body, you wouldn't jerk off in a work meeting. I mean, someone cruel might be there and make fun of you. I meant exactly the opposite of offense! If someone had a conventionally "hot" body, they might feel they could get away with it. I mean, it's obnoxious behavior, and who is going to take you to task if you're "hot"? No offense to women was intended.

What in the fuck are you talking about?

Una Stubbs' Tears (Trayce), Thursday, 1 November 2012 22:18 (eleven years ago) link

Are you actually implying some people would consider mastubating in front of work mates AT ALL, and that it is because they are good looking? I mean.. what the hell?

Una Stubbs' Tears (Trayce), Thursday, 1 November 2012 22:18 (eleven years ago) link

Isn't being made fun of the last thing you'd be worrying about if you were trying to surreptitiously masturbate in public what is this conversation even

Infamous dickbiscuits (silby), Thursday, 1 November 2012 22:45 (eleven years ago) link

I have no idea what we're talking about anymore but I think clarification is the *last* thing we need

just to bring the tone up a bit, with ffm's description of the buttock-clenching teacher i had a bit of a brainfart and was imagining him with his arms behind him, one hand on each asscheek, rhythmically squeezing away. it was disturbing.

squeeze your own butt cheeks together for undecided.

YES. but symphonic butt is more impressive than mere talking butt.

what do you do when you've asked someone politely and nicely to do something relatively easy and sensible that is part of their job, and they continually fuck it up, most likely due to just incompetence rather than intent? i seriously don't even know... it becomes embarrassing to the point that it's like each time i raise it it's as if i'm going HI YOU'RE THICK, regardless of the wording.

My brother complains about a guy exactly like this at his office, who's been there over a year and still has to ask him about the same things he has to do like every week. Just, yknow, write it down one time or something?

person in question is an image editor, and constantly labels images with the wrong date, or typos. it's like, how fucking hard is it to check the date? i just don't understand.

no it makes it much much better, because probationary period makes it a very easy process indeed

Boss: Can you see if there is a problem with Verizon? X says she didn't get any of my texts and I've double-checked the number.
Me: That's her office number.
B: I know, and now she's not getting them for some reason.

Sure enough, there were numerous outgoing texts to a landline in her history.

Coworker across from me talks all day long. Any word we say gets commented on for 2-3 minutes of stream of consciousness comments. She just spent two minutes talking about mushrooms she has in her fridge because another coworker complained that she forgot to put mushrooms in the soup she'd made.

This woman is training me to do my new job! She showed me how to create a purchase order and was searching for a name in a 'vendor number' field and got frustrated and started to vent to me. I tried to suggest we might find the name if we highlighted the venderNAME field rather than vendorNO and she got ranty and started talking about how 'that will screw everything up,' naturally I waited til she went to the printer and sure enough, the name is in the vendor name field. SHOCKING.
6 weeks of training. YAY.

People are so bad at computers, seriously.

purveyor of generations (in orbit), Tuesday, 6 November 2012 18:45 (eleven years ago) link

For real. But WHY? Things like what FFM talks about and shit my bosses fuck up problems that require VERY simple reasoning that has ultimately has nothing to do w/ computers. If that person were searching through papers for a vendor's, would she for it look in the space where vendors' numbers go?

If my boss were trying to access a folder of papers in a file cabinet, would she use the handle to open the drawer all the way, or would she notice that it had a hole in the side and pull documents out that way for years and years?
