Robin.Hood Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I disagree, it's boring self-centred chat. Just people being desperate to talk about themselves and their lives., which isn't an endearing trait. Willing to accept in retrospect that holiday chat can be put down to people being polite asking returning colleagues about it, rather than having bad chat. Still boring though. I hate being asked. I've just lived through this experience, I've no desire to spend 20 minutes talking through it again. Just go sit in another room or in yer car and do everyone else a favour. Everyone is a winner .I've no issues with any of these chats. You just either learn to switch off or if it gets to you then say something or f**k off elsewhere. Life is simple that way 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin.Hood Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Not possible in an office G_Man1985. But you're right. I think I would be delighted if no one were to ever try to speak to me again in here tbh.Then a simple conversation telling them to shut it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin.Hood Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 You can't just out and say something like that. I just pick and choose when I sit with folk for food and when I sit on my own. I can manage one or two days of smalltalk, otherwise I just prefer to go for a walk or read the news etc. Imagine telling someone to f**k off with their chat then they end up becoming your boss?If it's that an issue then no problem. You are just saying you dont like the chat at break or wherever it may be. Again I've no issues regarding chat at work. I listen to or speak to whoever I want to or feel like to on that day.However if I really did have an issue I'd speak up about it .We have choices , but bitching about it gets boring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crroma Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 The geeks in the office talking about their fucking fantasy novels and which ogre demon the protagonist has to fight next. Guys in their 30s and 40s. One of whom is married. Fuck knows how.Because being in your 30s and taking about a Scottish football game is just so much more mature and highbrow [emoji849] -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 A 45 year in in my office just had a full on melt-down because he didn't get the seat he wanted by the back wall during our office reshuffle so he can continue to watch YouTube all day instead of working, as no one will be able to see his screen. Was utter #scenes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 On 06/08/2019 at 10:33, Estragon IS NOT a fud said: What is the most tedious office chat from work colleagues that is possible? For me 1. Talking about their planned holidays 2. Talking about their game of 5s the previous night 3. Talking about their children 4. Talking about holiday they just went on 5. Asking about your lunch while you're eating it 1-4 sound like acceptable inevitable small talk. No 5 does my nut in and always feels like a thinly veiled accusation that i’ve Committed the cardinal sin of bringing in lunch that people can smell. They get offended by some pretty bland odours like egg or tuna, and my chicken sriracha sannie will often provoke thinly veiled hostile interrogation.

The standard lad chat at my work is premiership football and associated betting gimmicks, followed by cricket. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
