married to my work 

When your new flatmate says they are married to their work after you ask if they have a boyfriend or girlfriend, but they are actually just reaaaallllyyy gayyyyyyy. Also, they definitely saw you lick your lips after they said they don't have a girlfriend, so now would be the time to change the subject.
Person 1: "You don't have a girlfriend, then?"
Person 2: "Girlfriend. No. Not really my area."
Person 1: *stares* "Oh really." *pause* "Do you have a boyfriend?"
Person 2: *head turns slowly towards P1*

Person 1: "Which is fine by the way-"
P2: "I know it's fine."
P1: *small smile* "So, you've got a boyfriend?-"
P2: "No."
P1: "Alright. Ok." *licks lips* "You're unattached just like me... fine. Good."
-long pause-
P2: * looks down and back up* "(Insert name of P1), um. I think you should know that I consider myself married to my work and while I'm flattered by your interest-"
P1: *shakes head, in distress* "No... No."
P2: "I'm really not looking for anything"
P1: *still shaking head* "I'm not... asking- no."

P2: *looks confused*
P1: "I'm just saying: it's all fine."
P2: "Good. Thank you."
P1: *eyes wide, probably internally thinking 'shit shit shit'*

A newcomer posted a greeting and MAWorking threw the FAQ and general greetings at him. The newcomer has yet to recover from this attack.

I stabbed the McWorker with one of his restaurant's cheap plastic sporks: "No, you bastard, I don't want a combo meal!"

I don't want to do my work syndrome. (IDWTDMWS) 

1) Often occurs when trying to study or do any work.

2) Often confused with ADHD.
3) Can happen mid-sentence.
4) Power and symptoms often underestimated.
1) You don't stay focused when studying. I'm pretty sure you you have "I don't want to do my work syndrome." or commonly known as IDWTDMWS.
2) You: Doc. I think I have ADHD. I mean I can't focus when I'm working or studying.

Docter: No, you must have IDWTDMWS, or I don't want to do my work syndrome.
3) You writing: Billy is almost.......

You talking: What was that thing I was going to watch?
4) Your working one minute then get distracted and the next thing you know its been 5 hours since you did the thing you

were supposed to be doing.

I don't want to do my work syndrome. (IDWTDMWS) is a very serious thin, don't underestimate it.
