slicing open my face to spite it

Sep 13, 2004 12:28

It's funny; when I was limping around the office, everyone asked what had happened. Now that I'm walking around with sterile thread tied through my lips in nice, neat little knots, the only person that has had the gumption to question it has been my boss. I guess, due to some sort of social conditioning, people aren't comfortable with saying "Hey ( Read more... )

Unlike the bulk of my posts, this one, in fact, contained 0% lies.

Like me, your co-workers just avoid looking at your face. Due to of course, the hideous infection laden mole on your nose.

i think there's a giant intuitive gap between my catcalls and your cowboy action. everyone knows that catcalls are your cue to execute a simple side-to-side dance step embellished with pelvic thrusting.

now, if i had said, "take it off, baby, ayeyieyie," THAT would have been your cue to sling your pants, but only AFTER checking for overhead clearance.

sheesh.

your logic does not resemble our earth logic notbinky September 14 2004, 10:09:05 UTC
I'm fairly certain that I have never, and will never, equate catcalls with the need to dance the Elvira with extra air-humping. Also, any command for me to "take it off" was clearly unneccessary in this case as I was already in the process of changing clothes, so the removal of the shorts was a given. Finally, I did check for overhead clearance, but I accidentally checked the dimensions of my fantasy room, which has vaulted ceilings, plush carpeting, and at least one monkey butler.

are you calling me out of this world? neutron September 14 2004, 16:02:22 UTC
clearly you've been misinformed. commanding someone to "take it off" when they are already in progress is commonly classified as "encouragement" while urging someone to do so when they are not already engaged in said action can range from being "inappropriate" to "downright creepy."

this distinction, like so many points of finer etiquette, appears to have no place in our slovenly society.

also, air-humping rocks.
