I feel your pain...the gluten free bitches drive me up a wall!!

I'll stop by your desk in a few to explain why I am, in fact, special. I think you'll understand then.

"Gluten/Dairy/Grain" people? Should we be scared? Are they on the rise? I mean if I came across a "grain" person it might be cause for slight concern, but someone who's all 3? Gadzooks!

Dude. You should really talk to your girlfriend.

The first time I ate chicken after a couple of years I was ready to throw up all over that old vintage mohogamy round table.

Working in cubicles sucks, don't it? One of my coworkers spent a solid 5 minutes SHRIEKING with laughter today over what turned out to be a video of a penguin falling over. And this is why I consistently break the "one headphone only" rule at work.

Most of us feel your pain. Hope your job compensates for having to listen to ramblings of an obvious office pet. Working in the cubicles is the worse, and they never take a hint you don't care what their saying. I hate close quarters even with people I love. Try not to lose it and jeopardize your job.

Good Luck.

I know someone just like this. If she didn't live in Mexico now I might actually think it was her. I can't fucking stand her either.

Maybe s/he should eat some cheese and hang out at your desk and fart. But those clumsy penguin videos are priceless!

I have a private office. Recently a cubicle-bound co-worker went on maternity leave and, to better cover her desk, I moved to her desk. Every day I thought I would die or kill. Only two other people directly adjacent but why the fuck couldn't they shut up ever? Why are you reading CNN.com aloud? Why do you think we need to hear the details of the email someone just sent you, and your reply? If only the partitions were a little taller, just enough to not see each other while seated, my neighbors might leave one another alone for a short while. Ignoring does not discourage! I ended up retreating back to my office for the last hour or two each day. I felt sorry for all three of them really.

^Nope, our cubicles are taller than we are, but that doesn't stop the chatter. Some people just need an audience and knowing that coworkers are sitting 5 feet away is too tempting.

Also, the shit people comment on should be damning enough to keep them from commenting. Obviously you're not working if you're laughing at a penguin for 5 minutes - do you really want everyone to know what a slacker you are?

Cubicles are dehumanizing and lead to irrational neurotic behavior similar to when pigs chew each others ears and tails off when crammed into a CAFO.

Corner offices and 20 square foot mahogany desks for everyone!
