To the idiot at work that has NO personality. You run around the store saying hi everytime you walk by us. You sit in the staff room and stare at us while we eat and chat. Why don’t you get some sort of a personality crack a smile or say something useful you stupid loser. Nobody likes you and they all think you are creepy. Maybe if you actually tried to be somewhat civil to the rest of the staff people might talk to you rather than not want to be near you.

This person says hi every time they walk by you. Why can’t YOU be civil and invite them to sit down and engage in an actual conversation? Do you really think bitching like this on a public chat board is helping?Too many workplaces in the HRM operate this way. It’s like being in high school again, where you have to figure out who you’re “allowed” to talk to and which cliques you can fit in to based on, not skill set but, body type, gender, clothing, heritage, etc. Why can’t the workplace be a PROFESSIONAL environment in addition to a CIVIL environment?
seriously, what’s up with your public forum schtick this morning?> this is an anoymous bitch board- it’s like high school but more technologically stupid.every workplace has cliques. it’s human nature. we form social groups which are generally defined by including soem and excluding others. doesn’t mean the workplace isn’t professional, and it definatly doesn’t mean the workplace isn’t civil- sounds like the op is bitching here (again, in anoyomous fashion, getting rid of these feelings without hurting anyone) but while at work doesn’t do anything negative to this person.now sure, the OP probably could do a littl emore to include this person- BUT part of being an adult is not having to have your hand held at every moment. this person they’re complaining about has a stake in this too- why don’t they get up and go and eat and chat too? or contribute to the conversation? or make any sort of effort themselves? part of being an adult is not needing the teacher to make the other kids play with you, but figuring out how you can fit in on your own.
Hmmm, I couldn’t possibly see any reason why this person would want nothing to do with you?
Maybe he says “hi” because he’s hoping somone will respond in kind. Maybe he’s staring because he’s trying to make eye contact in the hope that someone will invite him to join in. Maybe he finds it difficult to smile because it is obvious that you dislike him and think he’s creepy.You know, it’s work. Being pleasant to someone at work doesn’t mean you have to invite him to your next keg party. I think the main cause of your frustration is that if you treated this guy the way you would clearly like to treat him, your ass would be fired. Grow the fuck up.
Miranda!!! 5 Stars! GREAT post!
wow, you sound like a real nasty CUNT… if i were your “creepy” co-worker, i’d probably sit/stare at you in the staff room too… in utter disbelief at what BITCH you are!get laid, and don’t be such a cow
