That Strange Work Phenomenon

I’m willing to bet that the Puke and TASE will have a queue of women seeking out their company at the office Christmas party while the rest if the saddos on this thread will be engaging in shouldering competitions and other sad male horseplay at the bar. [quote=“Bandage, post: 58691”]
chewy and the permanently edgier Fagan ODowd are making compelling cases here. It’s to such an extent that I’m considering disassociating myself from my thread starting comments from a few years ago and other similar ones subsequent to that.

I’m a quick minded business savy type, who always knows the right thing to say.
Nobody would ever know that I hate everyone.

:stuck_out_tongue:

i think its everyone hates you rather than you hating everyone

I’m loved by all who know me.

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Julio a few times and can confirm he is very amicable.

Tis a sad thing to be jealous of a baby… But then again they are probably starved of female attention so you can understand some sort of resentment. But as you say, if they only went over and passed a slightly favourable comment it may elevate them from the cretin level they are currently deemed by their work colleagues … You’d never know, it might even lead to a hand job at a staff do further down the road, be a nice break for them from pulling the hammer off themselves.

I know we’ve flogged the bandwagon element of sport to death here previously but it’s getting worse in here now. You’ve lads who wouldn’t look at a soccer or rugby match from end of the year to the other organising parties in their gaffs for the Friday evening to continue through to the rugby or in an extreme case some looper who’s organising a party just for the rugby on Saturday morning. He’s telling everyone to call around to his house at around half 5 or so - am fairly sure he’s bought a new TV just for the occasion. He’s one of those types that’s trying to get one up on everyone else and most of the lads in his team feel they’re obliged to go to it even though they’ve no interest. He doesn’t seem to realise that there’s no public transport at that hour of the morning so it’s making it awkward for lads who want a few drinks.

They must be some shower of wasters you work with if they need a drink at 6 a.m.

Were you not invited? Sure it’s only an excuse for a house party. What’s the problem there?

There’s wasters in every walk of life chewy.

I was and have declined. Having the house party the night before for the soccer and going through to the early hours for the rugby makes sense to me. Starting it at half 5 in the morning when the lad has never shown any bit of interest in sport for as long as I’ve known him in here was what I found bizarre.

Maybe he heard you bullshitting about Shane Jennings making Ireland tick and just never bothered conversing with you about. He probably doesn’t like your holier than thou private school opinions on sporting matters

I think he wants to bum you.

There’s been a lot of this going of late

Hooray, he’s kicked the ball. Now the ball’s over there. That man has the ball. That’s an interesting development. Maybe he’ll kick the ball. He has indeed. Apparently that deserves a round of applause.
