at both of the offices ive worked in over the last 10 years this has happened many many times.

lol take what i say today with a grain of salt...im kinda bitter in general today.

I will talk on the phone if I am in a public place like a walmart or something like that but if it is a Doctors office which is a fairly silent confined place I would step outside into the hallway or all the way outside or something.

Happen at home all the time.

Yes, I said "baby girl." Major eye roll yeah? And so I proceeded to envision myself calling up my "baby" and saying a similar thing to him in front of a room full of people...

"hey baby, whatcha doin? You feelin gooood this morning?"

and i was cracking up just imagining such an idiotic scenario. Are these people exhibitionists or just clueless?

oh this reminds me, we are studying Personality Disorders in my psych class right now. Pretty interesting! Maybe these people have narcissistic personality disorder or something.

Did you already tell us why? You're normally unbitter.

Eww. Please tell me you're kidding. Can't the conversation wait a few minutes?

Yes, this is bad. I'm more tolerant in the aisles, because I know my dad never knows what brand or size to buy and often calls my mom when he's shopping. But he'd never talk in a loud voice, and never ever in the checkout line.

My dad has a real knack for bringing home the wrong groceries. He's lucky to hit 50% accuracy these days.

Not kidding at all and really why wait. The person would usually never know you are in the bathroom unless you flush which honestly I wouldn't do but DO know someone who would.

I would talk on my cell phone while in the checkout line at Walmart. As long as I am keeping up with the task at hand and not slowing down the line I do not think it should even matter. I would care if someone else were talking on their phone in a checkout line either. I mean this happens so much I do not even notice it anymore. The only thing I can possibly imagine being a problem is if they stop unloading their cart and hold up the line while blabbing.

because i let things get to me too much.
its been one of those emo "wtf are you doing" inner reflection days...

I've known tons of people in offices who shout on the phone. I think some of them are so used to using their speaker phones that they use the same voice even when they're not using one.

Can you guys afford the $300+/month? Maybe instead of renting an office for the $300/month you guys should look for a bigger place. Maybe something that has a basement which you could make into your office and disappear to that each day? Just a thought...

the short answer to this is obviously MAN CAVE

The other day I was using a urinal and trying to check my work voice mail. Unfortunately, our office just upgraded its phone system and rather than go to voice mail it went to our receptionist. Very awkward, and there were other people in the bathroom. I hated being the weirdo talking on the phone in the bathroom, and hoped my "oh, I thought I was calling my voice mail" explanation to the receptionist carried over to the other occupants.

Yeah, a room to be used just as an office with no chatting or kids allowed or whatever rules like that might make the break for her between the idea that you're there all the time and that you're available or needy or expectant or simply not busy all the time. Maybe a place that's $300/one room bigger would work too.

Not sure if that would work if you just use it for your man cave and watch sports on TV there, though. Then it would just seem like a one-sided indulgence.

When I started studying for the bar I started with a man cave/study cave. Nice couch, coffee table to spread materials out, nice desk. Thing is, desk had a computer. Necessary for online tests. Problem was, computer also had Warcraft III on it. That first month of studying I was one of the top 75 players in the world in Warcraft III. Between that and golf, it's amazing that I passed.

stupid math problem I've completely forgotten how to do:

If a circle has a circumference of 12pi, what is the radius of the circle?

wait...r = c/2pi, right? So the radius is 6?

yes it's 6.



All the youtube clips of trigger happy TV giant mobile phone clips have been removed for the UK

However, I found this one, which cracks me up. (it's a show playing tricks on the public)

If they ever allow cell phones on US planes, I am convinced their will daily acts of violence.
Can you imagine being helplessly seated on a LA to NYC flight next to some Harpie mindlessly babbling into her phone for hours on end?

So, that bronchitis I was complaining about has now developed into a borderline walking pneumonia because the first antibiotics prescribed to me, amoxicillin, did jack ****. I went back in to see a new doctor who had no idea what the first doctor was thinking by giving me amoxicillin anyway. She gave me azithromycin and that should hopefully do the trick. I've still be feeling ****ting and coughing up mucus for a solid 5 days that I didn't have to because that first doctor gave me the wrong stuff.

damn it, Wookie, i think you gave me whatever you have. I'm so run down. I went to the doctor this morning and she said it is a nasty virus that has to run its course. ugh.

Yeah, it was lol. Plus it was on just before Late Nite Poker.

damn it all, I've got that hot head feeling I get right before a nasty head cold. oj, vitamin c, and pray it doesn't develop.

Ok Lounge, please give me your thoughts on this situation...

I have a friend who's a little younger than me. She recently started dating a guy she's crazy about (in her words he's out of her league). So here's the part I don't understand and want to know what you guys think. They sleep together in the same bed but have not had sex. When i asked her why not she goes "I don't know!" These people are in their mid-20s. He frequently spends the night at her place. Why wouldn't this guy have asked her for sex by now? The whole thing perplexes me.

yeah thats a little weird....
has she tried initiating anything?... that seems like a pretty big communication issue.

is he religious?

Is the guy me?

He's saving himself for marriage. Preserving his innocence and essence, guarding it closely.
