I have to work with you, I don't want to have to pretend I like you.

So I am working at this new place:
I am working out mainly for powerlifting / strong man stuff.
- You wanna play badminton with us? ... NO
- We are members of the same gym, do you wanna work out? ... NO
- We are doing cross training .... No Cross training is totally gay ... NO
- This random dude you walked past on the way back from having a piss in the corridor is having a retirement party - NO!
Once I got outside of that building I am my own person.
-
Ok? :/

having a piss in the corridor
That should take care of it then.

I don't see the problem here...

@lucas1 People trying to socialize and invite the new guy. Surely they're TR

You have to if you want to get anywhere high.

@gąska
Pfff just take the stairs

And then we all realize that "I have to work with you, I don't want to have to pretend I like you." is what his coworkers say.
-
Look, I get it, you're there to work, not to make friends.
But that's not how most humans work. They like making small talk with others wherever they are. It will be much less painful for you in the long term if you learn to embrace it.

That is actually true.

Cross training eh?

Yeah, if you never talk to them and they think you're an antisocial asshole, they'll never trust you to puff, puff, pass.

Yeah. Assholes like that puff, puff, keep.

Dunno, I prefer Volleyball. Although wrestling sounds pretty gay.

Um...actually...you don't have to work with us.

Uhh, I hate it so much. I'm not antisocial, I'm quite friendly and try to be helpful to others as much as I can, actually. But the social norm of 'we stand next to each other therefore we must talk' is so tiring. 10 times a day I want to say "why are you talking to me? dude, that has nothing to do with anything".

Or at least tolerate it.

This random dude you walked past on the way back from having a piss in the corridor is having a retirement party - NO!So, do you have a reason for sharing all your desperate attempts to socialise with your new workmates and their rejections?

I find this is more uncomfortable if one or more of you is holding a penis. I don't know what it is about peeing that makes some people so chatty.
-
@lucas1 are you saying you aren't a team player?

Does it have to be their own, or is it more uncomfortable if it's someone else's? Asking for a friend..

Your username is particularly apropos in this context.
-
@pjh I find it super uncomfortable if it's someone else's. Especially if it's still attached.

I'd find it more uncomfortable if it was detached.
Armin Meiwes not so much, I'm guessing...

Anyone knows what was the most downvoted side bar thread?

@topspin I don't do work relationships outside of work of any kind. This includes work breaks.
I want my life outside of work to be outside of work. Most of my mates that aren't internet mates, are people that live almost completely offline e.g. Working class, chavs and cackers.
I don't drink unless it around mates because. I've tried socialising with people in tech companies before hand. They are just too polite. I can keep the lid on at work, but if I was out after 3 beers, I know I would be calling them all cunts and taking the piss out of them.
If you think I gave some of you a hard time in the past. The last 2 work outing was like this:
-
The last time I did IRL work meetup, I had about 10 beers and 3 whiskey cocktails before 4pm. I called this college's brother a "a hipster cunt of mega super wankery" (he was a right cunt). Ripped the piss out of the two Christians that worked there, while quoting bible verses badly and said I would beat up the Office Manager because I didn't like his glasses.
You know what happened on Monday, nothing. Nobody mentioned it. You know why? because they saw the Monster and I knew I would be leaving soon.
Admittedly, I was just fucking being an edgyboi as shock humour. -
My Boss said he was a Freemason, which set me right off. There is zero filter when the drinks come in and we had been drinking for 12 hours. I literally trolled him IRL (this guy was paying me £400 a day at the time to work from home) about his Freemasonry. I pulled every conspiracy theory out of my arse to fuck with him because that is just what I do.
This company is proper serious, the moment these people understand that I will try to chat up their wife in front of them on a work meet up, I will be out the door for any reason they could make up.
I can keep the edgy-boi at bay while at work, but once the booze flows ... ohh there is no way I can keep it under wraps.

-
@luhmann okay, about 2 and a half beers. :)
I honestly don't like my colleges. They are people who think John Oliver from the Daily Show is like factual information.
We had a term "two way" the other day. Someone was asking me about it, and I said "you sure it isn't better if it is a three-way?", They didn't get it.
They were talking about Auschwitz and after a dude made a joke about there being loads of oven there, I said "There is loads of free shoes".

@heterodox please update your memes.

@lucas1 in Soviet Russia, memes update you?

@benjamin-hall I don't find how hard it is to understand that I don't want to spend my free time with people I have to be around.

I was making a funny based on the quoted post. That's it. I like puns/plays on words. I know, that makes me an awful person, but I can live with that.

It's weird that someone who proclaims that he's so adept at "taking the piss" utterly fails to recognize someone else doing just that.
-
@rhywden It is because I do it based on social cues that don't exist on the internet.
IRL != INTERNET FRIENDS.
@SlackerD will tell you that.
-
@rhywden Considering you think Last week tonight is now edgy humour, I think you are out of the race.

You're right. Thank God I was still within the edit timeframe for that post.

Consider the fact your were Jean Claude Van Damme.
Would the memes mean more or less to you if you starred in the Movie "Time Cop".

The only thing I can conclude from this post is that you are under the influence of more than just alcohol.
-
@heterodox Yes I am, I have an imagination. Something which you obviously lack because your retorts are lame as fuck.
@blakeyrat just calling me a dumbass is more convincing.
@Polygeekery Where is @tufty FFS at least there was some proper competition in the past. These guys are lame as fuck.
What do I need to do to summon @tufty .. A Neil Farage speech?

Edge-bois usually are oblivious to anything outside the smell of their own asses, don't know the sound of anything other than the sound of their own back-patting for being "so edgy to the normies", and react with a frothing rage to anyone who dares to be edgy (even when they accidentally see themselves in a mirror)

@lorne-kates Rhywden watches Last week Tonight. Which couldn't mis-represented a parody of fascism as actual fascism.
If his world view is shaped by that sort of media, what else isn't he is misinformed about?

@lorne-kates I am more erudite in person yes. I don't have to think about spelling it. I am dyslexic, I have mentioned it many times on here.
My brother is much worse, he has to have his girlfriend read letters for him as he almost cannot read. (When me and my brother played GTA on PS2 I had to tell him what the mission objectives were).
Code is just symbols so as long as they are the same, it works.
