Well then...with a tremendous lack of foresight on my part spent Glastonbury hooking up with someone from work, with the cheerily optimistic kiss-off as we left on Monday that 'yeah, it won't be awkward on Wednesday'.
Except that it is. It's entire oil tankers of awkward.
First day back and six hours and counting into the working day there has been no greeting. No speaking. No eye contact. Which wouldn't be so bad except we're only 5 metres apart. And I can't help making weird noises whenever I get up and move around - when I went to get a glass of water a half ago I made a weird tongue-clicking sound all the way there and back. She's already deployed the 'looking for something in the handbag all the way from the entrance to the desk' manoeuvre THREE TIMES. The bag is the size of a crisp packet and could only possibly hold 3 items at any one time.
HELP MEEEEEEEEE. My spine is liable to snap at any moment from the tenseness
Don't shit where you eat
Ring any bells?
Just say really loudly.
"God, I loved fucking you lady! So much!"
Then tear your shirt off and bellow your lungs out for an inordinate amount of time.
Would it help if I sniggered?
Repeatedly?
'no greeting. No speaking. No eye contact.'
sounds like every day in our office
just stand up
turn to her and say loudly 'so I was thinking about that way cool game of tonsil hockey we played the other day at Glasto, and was thinking of upping the anti. You game?'
Thank me later.
its ok
it just means she deeply regrets it, just move on
Ohhhh!
She just deeply regrets it. And I thought it was something that was going to make me feel appalling
get nekkid
Same happened to me
Except replace 'Glastonbury' with 'nightclub' and 'hooking up with' with 'snogging and groping'
Haven't spoken to her in months.
i'd say that's more to do
with you holding the mens toilet door open for her.
:D
:D
I seem to offend a lot of women at work.
Come to think of it, I seem to offend a lot of women in general.
nonchalantly
slip it out, then wink towards and nod your head. she'll do the rest..
email her and say
'you can smile if you want, i wont leap up and grab you ;) '
that would be repulsive
^ this
creepy creepy creepy
:(
i have no moves.
or ask if she'll give you a Monster Munch
Invite her out for a drink, you twonk.
cock
out
Invite her cock for a drink, you out.
Ask her if she wants to talk
If she says no, then drop your trousers and say "how about now?"
Repeat until naked.
Does dropping your trousers over and over again make you naked?
Awesome!
don't get smart with me, hawkins.
Are you auditioning for the new Treasure Island film?
I am actually.
Any tips?
Something about accepting no backchat from the bird.
Keith Harris?
Is it really you?
how many pairs of trousers do you think he is wearing?
don't get smart with me, harrington
Harrington jackets are the very definition of smart casual
I'm actually wearing a pair of jockeys that are a bit too small for me
because I still haven't washed anything from Glasto.
Happily, this whole episode has shrivelled my scrotum to the size of a piece of discarded chewing gum so they're fitting better by the minute.
send her a pic of your penis on a silk cushion surrounded by rose petals
Yeah
girls love pictures of dismembered penises.
"Dis member's for you, love!"
Buy her flowers
and an Italian man with a guitar.
How much are Italian men these days?
Depends what you're looking for
4million Euros for Valentino Rossi
4 Euros for Michael Grecco.
Do you like her?
give her a dead arm
and kick a football at her head, ah romancexxxxx
No-one likes girls, you gayer
Yes
This is part of the problem - I believe I may have made this clear on the weekend, except I can't quite remember. Which is important, because it's much, much harder to act nonchalant after making a foolish error like that
ugh i was in a similar situation
im afraid i'm no help, i just carried on not talking to her.
thats nothing,
I accidently e-mailed someone I work with because they couldn't get a piece of work done on time "Its ok I know you're busty"
bit of a typo, should have been "I know you're busy", maybe I should spell check more often.
hahaha!
well busty is a word
so spellcheck wouldn't have been much help here.
well busty
is two words.
oh shush
you're right, maybe I should just proof read..
Thank fully I get on well with her. She is rather busty though, which made it worse..
well it could have been a big fat guy
with big ol' moobs. even worse i hope you would agree
well what you wanna do
is talk to her.
not in a 'maybe we should talk about the other day' kind of way.
more in a completely trivial 'ho hum, nice weather, i'm off for lunch, t'ra for now', pretend-nothing-happened kind of way. just bypass the awkwardness. pretend it isn't there. if she still acts awkwardly it's her problem and you can just ignore it.
UPDATE
Contact has been made. Sweet awkward, awkward contact. In full hearing of everyone. And I managed to invent a word: as she was leaving, I mangled 'bye' and 'see ya' into a hideous blurted out 'BYE YA!', which, aside from being completely superfluous given she was just sitting down at the desk across fromme, is exactly the kind of sound a baby makes when dribbling over a rusk.
Today fucking SUCKS
no-one else has said it so I will
MTFU!

^ I was avidly waiting for this to be posted
This is LordLuciusBanter.
His name is LordLuciusBanter. HARDEN THE FUCK UP LORDLUCIOUSBANTER!!
How was your Glastonbury then?
:D
:(
a lesson in smoothness.
NOSP WAI!
I was about to call this thread
A Lesson In Smoothness 2: The Bloodening. But then I didn't. True story...
sounds like you ballsed that one right up
unlucky
BYE-YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dinner?
BYE YA!
BYEEEEEEEE YAAAAAAAAAA
:'(
was that her reply?
That is her exaggerated impression, to her friends,
in my paranoid mind, when she relays my pathetic-ness later on tonight
and then he said
"BYEEEEEEEE YAAAAAAAAAA" Hahahahahahahaaha.
I hope this catches on!
BYE YA!
I feel that it's our responsibility to make sure it does
And?
Are you going for a drink or what?
I am going to say:
it is unlikely.
Aw
well, at least you have... this thread? It's pretty funny.
it's a hoot.
Can I just say
this is the best thread in ages, its made me laugh so much :)
^^
made me realise that someone has had a worse day in an office than me, result.
"no greeting. No speaking. No eye contact."
Sounds ideal. You fucked someone and they're not being annoyingly needy, looking for attention. I would welcome that.
Big Pimpin'
(H)
Umm
except that because that hasn't happened, it's made me wonder why and now I'm being needy and seeking attention.
I'm going to pretend one of my grandparents died in a minute...that ought to do the trick
tell her you're pregnant
:D
potd
"pretend one of my grandparents"
Oh god, newer lows
why not pretend you are dying,
you know, have some sort of attack or something in clear view of her. If she rushes to your side your in, if she ignores you in the hope someone else helps - its over before its started.
You sound lame.
You couldn't even manage a 'Hi!' for her?
^ this, actually
Why were you waiting for her to do all the work?
If you said "Hi!" to her and she ignored you, you could've gone "FUCK'S YOUR PROBLEM, BITCH!? DO I MEAN NOTHING TO YOU!?"
Totes
If you don't make the effort, than she might just assume you're not interested.
I sound lame?
Does that really come across in this thread documenting every detail of my lameness?
I didn't even read the whole thread...
..just bits of it.
Why not just go and speak to her.. if you both went to glasto you've got something to speak about at least? Maybe send her a text apologising for being shy today?
This sounds like stuff that used to happen at my old school.
i'm afraid of the adult world.
laugh loudly at one of her funnies
she made to someone else..even if you are in the other side of the office.
If she has been going to the gym, walk up to her nad playfully punch her in the stomach and go "wow..solid".
Worked for me.
Also, it helps if she has an alchoholic ex who works in the same place..so you aren't her worst memory
SHE'S GOT NADS
How did this not come up
sooner!?
you can punch er there too
we got all sorts working here
I had this happen once.
I did the gentlemanly thing and kept it to myself, even though i'd have earnt serious man points for not doing. Strangely she broadcast the goings on to her friends even though i was probably League One Play-Offs compared to her lower mid-table Premier League. She assumed that i'd be embarrased about people knowing i'd fallen asleep during cunningulus, FAR from it.
I just snorted with laughter.
POTD
hero...
:D
definite POTD
From now on this act will be know as
Kissing in Kansas.
"Mate I was so tired I ended up kissing in kansas. She was NOT happy"
UPDATE 2
It's clearly over, for today at least.
I just walked across the room to the printer - making a sort of 'p-p-p-p-p' sound and accompanying goldfish shape with my mouth - and a whole lot of coins fell out of a hole that I didn't know existed in my pocket, down through the INSIDE of my trousers and spread out onto the floor, like a shity denim slot machine that was paying out.
Now, I haven't encountered this exact situation before, but scrambling around on the floor picking up coins that have dropped out of your threadbare pants is not a sexy look, right? RIGHT?! They weren't even mainly manly 50 pences - there was a lot of embarrassing pauperish copper in there
Are you getting the feeling that your life is quite clearly a sitcom?
Because I think it really is.
Someone must be videotaping this misery.
I'm wearing pants I haven't worn in at least a year cause all my other stuff has yet to be washed
I'd forgotten about that bloody hole
I'm drawing up a contract.
I think they're looking
to write a male version of bridget jones diary.
keep it up.
Peep Show just called
it wants you back.
Schadenfreude ftw
EPIC FAIL.
When will people learn,
you shouldn't get with people that you work with. Its DAFT.
^^ you don't screw the crew!
In my first proper office job I had three exes and my current girlfriend (now wife) working there, thankfully they never had to speak to each other... I only have five exes to speak of so my outward attempt to be some lothario is rather piss poor...
There is more to my tale than meets the eye.
This thread is incredible.
Simply incredible.
I <3 this thread
Please come work in my office, your comedy antics would brighten up my day no end!
