Most of the time, working in a cube farm is annoying. Sometimes, however, I get to overhear rather amusing conversations on which I would otherwise miss out. Witness:
Scene: a community printer located in a cubicle adjacent to my own. Sadly, I could only hear the players and was unable to identify their voices.
Female coworker #1: What are you doing? Get your hands off that. Stop touching my stuff!
Female coworker #2: [sarcastically] SORRY. What is your problem?
Female coworker #1: YOU are my problem. [walks away, grumbling angrily under breath]
**********
Scene: a coworker’s cube, on my way to refill my coffee in the break room.
Old guy coworker: Well, you know. Like Jean-Luc Picard would say.
Librarian-type coworker: [is confused]
Old guy coworker: Make it so!
HAHAHAH! love it
haha, too funny…thanks for transcribing them. a coworker and I made a list of funny things we’d heard at my last job, it was funny..especially when taken out of context.
You should hear some of the conversations between students I hear in the elevators. I think we’ve raised a generation with no concept of shame.
I did not hear this one personally, but heard it from a colleague. Apparently she was in the restroom and heard a student talking on her cell phone:
“Like, I heard from Stephanie last night and she said she wants us to wear granny panties or boy shorts tonight. And she like said she wouldn’t even have us bother wearing a bra. Uh, I’m not gonna run around the Pi Phi house naked tonight. I’ve got a test tomorrow.“
I had a running list at my former job of things I had overheard, I am now in an office with a door, which is nice, but there’s less comedy in eavesdropping.
Because if I didn’t have a test tomorrow, I would totally be down with running around the Pi Phi house naked.
Tell me you are kidding. Someone other than me had some one say to them” YOU are my problem.” ? Don’t you remember Admiral Banana? That still makes me laugh.
