So Chin et al., here is a new one from just today. I am on a conference call (I work from home) and I here this constant clicking. After several minutes of this I ask does anyone else hear that clicking? Pause, "Oh that was me - sorry" and the clicking stops. After about 30 seconds I start chuckling because I thought of this post and realized he was clipping his nails and you can hear it plain as day!

Teleconferences are a blast. People who forget how to use the mute button can make for fantastic bloopers, especially if they are on travel and using a personal cell phone vice a desk phone. We had one a few years ago where a guy was dialing in from a remote area on his cell phone. Ten minutes in to the telecom we hear "Here's you sandwich and hash browns. Do you need any creamer or ketchup?". Dude was going through the drive through and forgot to put his cell phone on mute.

Haha well they're all married and every day it's a new argument for whose husband is the biggest up which devolves into a discussion how men are awful.

They all fantasize about you and how you would be the perfect husband. Because you know the stress and the work that goes in to being a teacher.

There's a dozen of them making love to their husbands tonight who are pretending it's you. You just have to figure which twelve it was tomorrow. You'll see it in their eyes.

I still can't get over this new trend of people naming their food. People are weird.
I just came from the break room and had a sandwich some goofball named "Brett".

(at least that is what was written on the bag)

Was "Brett" a turkey sangwiich with ketchup by any chance?

Sometimes there is a reason. I work at a company where we have to hotel in to desks so my neighbors rotate every day. If I have a particularly obnoxious neighbor, a strategically placed Indian food order is quite funny in addition to being delicious.

Are you talking post consummation?

Roast beef with horseradish. Delicious. I've been hoping another sandwich named Brett would appear again but alas, nothing yet.

I once had someone steal my roast beef and horseradish sandwich.

Next day I made it again but it wasn't horseradish on the sandwich the second time.
 
When I graduated, my Dad pushed me to take an outside sales job I was offered from a Fortune 500 consumer products company. Company car, expense account and work from a home office. 22 years later I thank him every day because I have never once worked in an office and eventually started my own company 12 years ago. I've booked more business walking around my kitchen, scratching my balls than I think I would have in a cubicle or corner spot.

That being said, the office pools suck and I've been jerking off the same guy for the past 12 years. But, he's the boss so there's always that.

I hate when my coworker sits down and talks to me about videogames for 20 minutes. I'm only a few years younger than he is, so I guess it makes sense he would talk to me about it. But then he goes and talks to management about all the "special suits" he picked up online all weekend and I can just see the pain in their eyes while they placate him. It's a prime example of knowing your audience, and knowing that 50 year olds don't want to hear about your weekend spent on PS4

Well, he's a sales guy....but a lot more of a drunken orangutan than he is someone doing Ironman rides.

One of the guys I work with gets spooled up over divers who back in to their spaces vice noaing the car in to spaces. We have plenty of parking available and the loy is plenty big enough to manuever any vehicle around it so there's no benefit to either method. But he gets hot under the collar over back-ins. Needless to say, I back my car in to a spot.

Guy was in the stall next to me some time ago on his phone... He had the volume up and i was hearing some sounds, followed by chicken choking sounds. I couldnt finish and get out of there quick enough. Horrible experience.
 
Not sure exactly why, but "The Nibbler" by CL82 fascinates me. Is it because they solved the mystery with a sting operation? That the perp was sorta hot? Or that the nibbling was such odd behavior in the first place? I guess I will never know, but I genuinely enjoyed the story.
