Ugh!

My co-worker who tweets like a bird just embarrasses me sometimes. A bunch of other colleagues were walking by when she launched into a loud and long impression of the Swedish chef. I wanted to yell "cut it the hell out, act like a grown-up for crissakes!" but instead I just pursed my lips into a fake smile and held my breath until she finished. As we were about to go our separate ways she launched into the impression again and I rolled my eyes and walked away. No more Swedish chef impressions in the workplace! If she wants to do an impression of Beaker that's an entirely different matter...

I seem to remember something similar to this being written to "Dear Prudence." Did you happen to write that??

Sounds elbow-tingling, and not in a good way. I nearly had to leave our local post office this morning when an off-duty postman in the queue started 'joking' with the postman who'd come in to collect the mail drop ... clearly the on-duty guy hated the off-duty guy, but the off-duty guy had no idea of his feelings at all. There was inappropriate and very much resented personal contact and everything [shudder].

I didn't write the "Dear Prudence" bit, but I wouldn't be surprised if one of my other co-workers did. :)

I'm sure I'm annoying too, but I don't actively try to embarrass the people I'm with. Urgh.
