| 2. | Driving a coworker home | ||
|
When you are out at night with a coworker of the opposite sex & end up driving them home & somehow magically wake up in their bed the next morning. Dan ended his night last night by driving a coworker home. He drove Sarah home from the bar last night. I went to pick up Dan this morning to play golf & he wasn't at his apt. Instead, he was at Sarah's from the night before and she was making him pancakes.

| 3. | Annoying Coworker | ||
|
The person with whom you share an office who constantly (pick one or several): clears his throat, shares all the minutest details of her boring existence, publicly agonizes over the smallest of decisions (often goes with previous quality), mosturizes his hands every five minutes, adjusts her clothes or hair every three minutes, or talks/laughs too loudly and too often. Annoying coworker: "I just can't decide whether or not to attend my boyfriend's step-grandmother's funeral."
Me: "Were you close to her?" A.C.: "I've only met her once about a year ago." Me: "Was her death sudden?" A.C.: "She's been battling cancer for three years now." Me: "I wouldn't go." A.C. (turns to other coworker in the room): "Should I go to my boyfriend's step-grandmother's funeral? I really think his family would appreciate me going." Me: "Then why don't you go?" A.C.: "Oh, I'm just not sure if my boyfriend wants me to go or not." Me: "Why don't you ask him?" A.C.: "Oh, I can't do that!" ...and on and on and on... |

I'm going to the staff meeting just to watch the slacktastrophe!
