My Ram coworker has a work husband and three work boyfriends. One of her work boyfriends stopped to talk to me. She saw the interaction and later told me to back off because the holidays are coming up and he gives good gifts. I jokingly called her a skank for having so many men in the workplace.
She defended herself by explaining which each of them is good for.
I told her if she didn't give up the one who has the good chocolate on his desk that I would tell all of them she's a workplace adulterer. Thinking about stealing one of them just to teach her ass a lesson.
Does this foolishness go on anywhere else or just my job?

Sillyness like that happens in my work place. All the guys have some sort of bromance with each other. They go to the bathroom with each other, follow each other around. Visit each other every hour on the hour at work.

They miss each other when each other is not at work LOL.

It's sad really.

It's people in the work place who are a little too comfotable with each other. I've heard those terms between a Virgo(m) + a Cancer(f) and a Taurus(f) + Libra(m). What I've also noticed, is that they like to nag the fuck out of each other.

They don't really talk
More like an ongoing break time joke

A better question would be "Why do you care do much about what other people are doing?"

Unless it's directly affecting your ability to do your job, it shouldn't matter.


you're completely missing the point

There is no point other than you're too busy concerning yourself with office relationships instead of working.

They don't pay you to worry about some chick at the office and her personal life.

They pay you to work.

What the fuck are YOU talking about? Get together with that other one and figure it out. There is no relationship and none of it discussed during paid time.

Are you daft? There's nothing serious about it. Tread lightly on what? Or who?
If ram girl ever signs up for dxp I'll let her know you have some policy issues to take up with her.

Yes, moms. My old supervisor told some poor idiot to quit calling her mommy and get the fuck out of her office.
Had mixed feelings about that one.

Let's dial it back a bit... It's Monday, and it's almost the end of the day.

I don't get that luxury. Not tonight. Stuck in a car flying down a icy road with a bunch of coworkers I can't stand. Will be on duty allll night.

HR? She can't go to HR for anything. She called a supervisor a r******* n
***** That's the latest on her file. So she's on her way out anyway. But I see what you're saying.

To be touchy would mean I some how give a damn. But I don't so...

Oh Kim...you're so touchy. 😛

Just trust an old fart on this one. Even the most innocent interactions at work can turn to shit. It might not be this skanky chick that says anything. It could be some uptight old cat lady that gets "offended" when she overhears your conversation and next thing you know...you're in HR.

I've worked with mostly women for a good portion of my working life. I've learned to be quite careful around you ladies. You can be quite evil towards one another.

it IS scary out there. i had no problems around male co-workers but in the work place, women are competitive.

alot of women these days are really awesome climbing up the ladder of success.
