Random Rants ΠΕ': You're standing on my neck.

Rant: I'm getting a little bit sick of saltines at this point. Just a bit.

My thermos is too good at what it does. It's been two hours and my broth is still just as hot as it was back then.

That's a rant?

I don't like burning myself, so yeah.

It is if he was expecting it to have cooled down enough to just swig it out of the Thermos.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

That might be a problem. Can you put the broth in a bowl and let it cool down and put it back in the thermos?

Rant: ninja'd!!

Don't you have anything better to do Syns?

Someone banned night posting so no.

I guess I could work. Or do my taxes.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Or play games!

One of the best things about this forum is that we can always count on Aimee for good advice.

 

[Synobun]

Taxes it is.

 

[Takhisis]

Hands up who believes that happened.

*puts hand up*

I think this one is Bananer-Meinhof.

Anyway, it was a reaction to a quoted exchange that doesn't sound as though it would exist outside of a comedy sketch. But since it's apparently not verbatim then never mind.

I figured it wasn't verbatim either, but just assumed that it was a loose retelling of what happened to tell the story better. Why did you jump to a dichotomy of "This happened exactly as Mary said it did or it didn't happen"?

So that's why there's so many references to ‘minions’ in the Chaplin video.

Me: *shares simplified story about a man's crude sexist behavior*
Guy: *makes sexist post dismissing my experience and calling me a liar*

And guy wonders why I have such negative opinions of men ...

Well, not that song particularly. Probably more that whenever the minions get hungry they start hallucinating their fellows as bananas and trying to eat them.

I hope your chicken is poorly seasoned and the meal existentially unsatisfying.

Nope it was amazing.

Rant: We have an open office environment and I sit 8 feet from the little coffee station with a sink. This guy daily brushes his teeth there and spits into the sink, then rinses with a bunch of mouthwash. Kudos to him for having good hygiene but comon' man, you can't do that in a bathroom? To perturb me even more the closest bathrooms are literally 10 feet away from said coffee station and are unisex single toilet ones so you could have 100% total privacy to brush your teeth.

Rant: Again, open office, we all sit at desks that are setup in sets of 6 so like a hexagon with each person at an inside corner kind of like this:
\1__2/ 6
3 / 4 5\

The barrier between desks is a tiny wall about 8 inches high. So of course you basically have full view of the whole office as long as a monitor or something isn't in your way. Well this one guy quit and they moved the prettiest girl in the office to a desk that is directly in my sight line. Like literally I can see her profile 2 inches to the right of my monitor, she's sitting directly in front of me a mere 20 feet away. And it's distracting. And to make things worse I'm married and feel guilty any time I accidentally glance at her. Or I feel like I'm a sleeze. It's like now I have to go out of my way to not notice her. Man it sucks.

 

[MaryKB]

Why would you feel guilty glancing in her direction? She's your coworker and she's part of your office, trying to pretend she doesn't exist will cause harm to her role as a member of your team.

If women weren't meant to be looked at men (and women) wouldn't have eyes. Get over it.
