people always tell me I'm silly for refusing things from people I don't like
but it makes me feel hypocritical if I do. There's a guy in one of our offices who is such a total bellend and he offered me a lift home once. I said no, but I think he realised it was because I didn't like him, because it was a 40 minute walk and it was biblically raining.

All I've learned from this is to stop offering the girl in the office lifts home.
My boss in a generous sort most of the time. He just wants to be popular, but is annoyed that his younger brother (who I work with too) is more popular than he is in social situations.

I'm more popular in social situations than my elder sister
but that's because she's an accountant.

So you don't let anyone who you don't like the chance to make it up to you?

I like the lack of response here.

I like how Chompy's sentence doesn't make much sense

It does make sense simpleton.
probably just missing some punctuation.
(PsychoChomp, Wed 16 Jun 2010, 9:20, Reply)

Or replacing 'let' with 'give'
and maybe 'make it up to' with 'fondle'.

don't let anyone the chance to make it up
is basically what you are saying. that doesn't make sense. it's not a great leap to what you were trying to say, but you didn't get it right.

Sorry I was reading the news
He can't make it up to me as he hasn't wronged me as such, he's just really fucking annoying. Whenever I go to that office he always collars me and talks about some inane shit for twenty minutes. When I'm over there I'm there to do a lot of work in one day so I don't have to come back again, but he constantly comes over and talks really boring shit at me, no matter how busy I am. If I say I'm busy and need to concentrate, he then goes into a diatribe about how busy he is and how much work he has on, which leads him into telling me all the intricate details about his boring conveyancing cases.

I HATE HIM.

Wow, and you think *he's* boring.

(PsychoChomp, Wed 16 Jun 2010, 9:45, Reply)

I knew you'd say that!
You're so predictable. If I'd just said "he's boring" you'd accuse me of being unfair.

One of my colleagues here is the same
And I HATE HIM TOO!!

It's so wrong when our boss is telling us we need to hurry up doing something, and he's in charge of that something, and HE DOESN'T SHUT UP!! He keeps talking about how we should do this task to do it faster, but doesn't actually do it.

And he brought me donuts yesterday, despite me being very clear saying that I didn't want any. And then, gets upset because I didn't eat it.

I feel your pain
when we first set up the office I was building the reception desk, so I was lying on the floor under the desk with a screwdriver and he started wittering about one of his cases and then he got photos out and started waving them in my face under the desk. I wanted to scream I DON'T FUCKING CARE!!

People in that office send blank emails to each other when he's in the room so that someone will fake a phone call to make him go away.

^this is where Psychochomp will tell me what a bitch I am.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Wed 16 Jun 2010, 10:11, Reply)

I like that idea
But we are in an open plan office and he's always around. I hate when I'm having my lunch or breakfast and he comes to talk about something silly about work and how he's going to fix it. And I'm there, looking at him with my lunch going cold or my cereals going soggy. People!

God the guy I hate does that too!
I get really annoyed when people interrupt my lunch and I hate eating in front of people so I get really mad when he sees me at lunch and comes over to talk to me about inane bullshit. When he's eating lunch he wanders all over the office to find someone to talk at, which results in him talking with a mouth full of food, which is just disgusting.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Wed 16 Jun 2010, 10:19, Reply)

Aaaaaah!!
Yes, yes! I hate that!

It's not that I don't like eating in front of people, I'm ok in restaurants and that. I don't like eating when someone is talking to me, as I think it's rude. And there he is, talking about nothing, looking at my food! FFS! Go away!
