Coworker Syndrome

Believing your coworker is attractive simply because you spend hours with them in close quarters and don’t know them personally enough to dislike them.

A word that Marci thinks refers to a person you used to work with. But she's wrong.

home coworker

Your spouse or family member when you are working from home. Corollary to office husband or office wife.
Dennis: Pam just walked in while I was on my conference call. As we have to share our home and both sustain our working environments, I am learning to manage along with my home coworker. When this Coronavirus blows over, I am going to introduce Pam to Jenny so that my home coworker can meet my office wife. Perhaps tonight I will call a meeting with my home coworker to put some effort toward producing a corona boomer.

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.

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...

The Coworker Curve

A grading scale of coworker hotness that tends to form after weeks, months, or years of working among the same individuals. Based on the coworker curve, the least ugliest becomes the hottest and the ugliest becomes the least hottest.

The coworker curve has similar effects as beer goggles. It no longer relies on common sense standards of hotness and sex appeal. For most it happens subconsciously, you'll walk into a workplace for the first time and see all 2's and 5's (out of 10), and months later you'll find yourself checking out that same 5 as if they were a 9. Or even worse, you start bringing that fugly beat to parties and showing them off to your friends.
Coworker: I thought Sally was pretty ugly when I first started working here, but after a few months..... she's actually pretty cute.
Me: Yea, she's cute based on the coworker curve , but uglier than shit in real life.
