I'm a bit better than the colleague I work with the most nowadays. he's a 50 year old white guy who uses "knawwaamsayin?" as a punctuation mark


I got a dude in my office whose 48 and insists on fist bumps. When I am subtle and try to knock it off, he doesn't get the message. Even after I told him flat out to cut it out, no dice. Its passive aggressive.

Advice seekers that have a fallow up to every suggestion that starts with "but....", then get annoyed when someone gives up on trying to help them.

How about people who habitually say, "Now, this is probably totally wrong," or "Correct me if I'm mistaken..."

Yes, we get it, you have no self-confidence.

"Correct me if I'm mistaken..." is not too bad, I use that, but its because I think I understand a dynamic and am inviting feedback on it. I'm sure there are other ways to say it, but my goal is to inform the room that I'm not sure. Its not a confidence thing, in fact the opposite.

My Telco is staffed by idiots. Changed plan and got new phone on Friday at 4.30pm told it should be activated. No activation, merde!

Now Monday still not activated and they need us to call them to verify a few things WTF?

We did all the paper work on Friday! Does anybody work anymore?Or has the nation been populated by Zombies while I was not looking?:cloud:

I've been having lots of anxiety problems lately and tonight I came home and the roommates were fighting. Not helpful.

How old are you bro? I had you at late 30's. Roommates? What were they fighting about?

Srsly? I'm 27. The roommates are 40ish. I didn't stay long enough to figure out the cause. I opened the door, heard "I can't get through to you. I have needs." and figured I'd go eat some ******* pizza.

To quality, you have to accomplish something, which I haven't done. But I eat salad and stuff anyway.
