At a time when it is quite busy already and we were short staffed anyway. Now I do prefer to be busy than not, but all the same... That happens at my place all the time. One of the teams over from me spent days decorating their bank of desks for Halloween (to win a prize), and all they got was bag of sweets to share. I was laughing, but at the same time pissed off at the amount of time they wasted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midfielder Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 In the workplace, when someone sneezes and there's the expectancy / awkwardness that someone says 'bless you' to the sneezer, which i don't, and someone "says it for me". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate the bless you thing. I've never got it. Why? I mean, I know the etymology but we're now enlightened enough to confidently say we dont need to say it any more and all it does is highlight that someone's sneezed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont bless when someone sneezes but if i do sneeze and somebody blesses me, I'm then obliged to say thanks, like someone had done me a favour. One of those times it's almost socially right to say thanks (for something you're not thankful for), an enforced tiny chore of speech. It would be funny though if the etymology of office farts meant that a similar blessing was a social norm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be a bloke at work who dropped paratroopers so often we had to hang an air freshener on his chair. He'd let out a raucous parp, go bright red and then laugh uncontrollably about every 15 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he could, with blokes in the minority at my workplace, mine are silent, though i do get away with a lot of silent drive bys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
