ICTChris Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I think that workplaces are obliged to provide water, tea and coffee so will need to supply the requisite components for these.My work used to stock the fridge with milk but now there is a milk machine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ2 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Stop being a wee pussy and just say you don't fancy it this timeI’d rather be more diplomatic than just say “nut am no coming”, you could learn something from me, Baracus. The fact is though, I just can’t be fucked. Let’s go out after work, inevitably, to talk about work and to bitch and moan about folk at work? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the f**k are you playing at? Why would you care if it won't sit well with the type of folk who would just 'bitch and moan about folk at work'? Anyone who feels they need to make up an excuse for this type of thing is a weirdo and needs to have a word with themselves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering I see more of the people I work with than I do my own family then it's probably in my interests to be diplomatic. That and the fact I don't enjoy being an utter c**t. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Why is it being an 'utter c**t' to tell folk you don't fancy going on a night out this time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milk, tea & coffee don’t be daft. My work supplies these but there’s definitely no obligation too. Especially the ones that have patched the night out.Why do you think I usually go!?

DA Baracus Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Putting all that time and energy in to seemingly pleasing the type of folk who would talk about you and who seem to be areseholes is absolutely mental stuff. You see them every day? So? You don't have to speak to them. If you do for work reasons then let it be awkward for them if they're being a dick. Are folk actually being serious here with this stuff? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I care about it not sitting well with folk 'that bitch and moan about folk at work' which would represent about 99% of the workforce of Britain. It's basically what work nights out are all about and a bit of football talk/karaoke of course.

Can you not just say you've got something else on that you didn't realise clashed with the night out? I must say that I side with DA here, a works night out is the easiest thing to sidestep, any old excuse cuts it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see my workmates every day, and occasionally rely on their co-operation to help me get my job done more easily and efficiently. Therefore not being a c**t to them, simply so that they don't think I'm a c**t, is beneficial to me. And by not being a c**t, I mean simply saying 'hiya' if we happen to walk past each other, thanking them when they've helped me, and sitting with them at breaks (if I know them well enough to carry out a non-strained conversation). I'm not advocating having deep and meaningful conversations about Love Island with people that I don't really know*. *P&B's for that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s enjoyable seeing DA get so angry over it. I mean if he sends me his email address I’ll forward him the invite..? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Work nights out are, generally speaking, fucking awful. I normally give an excuse when one comes up. Would rather go out with my real friends. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
