resurrectionsongAugust 25, 2004A Word of Warning (Jerry)Don’t say that you weren’t warned. If you are a gum-chewer and you insist on chewing your gum loudly, cracking it, popping it, blowing bubbles, etc. in the workplace, especially if you share an office with one other person who can hear everything that you say and do as though you are sitting right next to them, because you are, then you have no room to complain if they jump across the room in a fit of fury and stab you in the jugular with a dull pencil. I’m just sayin'… Posted by stumpjumper at August 25, 2004 10:49 AMComments
No jury of my peers... Posted by: zombyboy at August 25, 2004 11:56 AMPlease add to the list of no-fault cubicle/office homicide defenses: repeated sighing and gasping for no reason, talking while eating munchie/crunchy food all day and inane chatter. Posted by: OpinionEngine at August 25, 2004 12:09 PMGood one, OE. As long as we're compiling a list: stupid ring tones. You are doubly at risk if you are the "hypothetical" gum-chewing coworker and your cell phone plays a midi-version of "Play That Funky Music White Boy" whenever you get a call. "Hypothetically" speaking, of course. Posted by: Jerry at August 25, 2004 12:18 PMHypothetically, I really wish I still had an office. You know, with doors and everything... Posted by: zombyboy at August 25, 2004 02:21 PMJerry: You have hit my biggest pet peeve, especially people who use those ring tones, leave their phones on their desks, and then leave. I have actually taken the batteries out of peoples phones when they do that. Then they have the gall to call ME inconsiderate. Here is my new proposal for a law: If someones phone does anything but vibrate, you have the right to punch them in the face until they drop their phone. When the phone hits the ground, you can smash it into a million pieces. If they bitch, you can go back to punching them in the face. Maybe I'm a bit too sensitive about this.

Posted by: McGehee at August 25, 2004 08:02 PMShadow: I'd vote for that law! McGehee: You're right - I'll be bringing one in this morning. Posted by: StumpJumper at August 26, 2004 05:52 AM |
