I had to stop using a particular restroom in my building because someone felt it was the best possible place to have all her cell phone conversations. I don't have shy bladder issues, but there is something very disconcerting about hearing "yaddayaddayadda-tinkletinkle-blahblahblah-plonk-natternatternatter-kerswoosh" from the next stall, all without her ever stopping the endless commentary. She has moved on, thank goodness.

That needs to be put to music. Would be a catchy tune.

I won't say that my faith in humanity was all that high before reading this thread. But it hasn't done it any favors. The world is populated with some real dandies, yo.

I don't understand chatting on a cell in a bathroom, either. I can only hope it was a business conversation.

I used to work next to a guy from Texas who spent an entire day on the phone with a pawn shop buying an AR-15 that he didn't know how to shoot. When asked about it, he said that he was buying it to "defend my house in West Texas from the Mexicans".

13 posts in and not a single mention of "If it hadn't been for that horse... I never would have spent that year in college."

I'm disappointed in you, CF.

Hearing that would give me an anyeurysm

Similar.

Had a lady sat across from me who had a "troubled" daughter.

Many many times they would take turns calling each other on either the work land line or the cell phone. Yell at each other, bark orders, cry, beg, cajole, and shout, "Jennifer, JENNIFER!!! Jenny, Jen - NO Don't do it." Or tell her over and over again she could NOT MISS SCHOOL today.

Eventually, along the way, the girl burned the house down with un-minded scented candles (maybe masking smells of illicit MJ use?). Fortunately no one was hurt, but the house and contents was a total loss.

So for the next 18 months I got to hear all kinds of conversations with the insurance adjuster and her calling and looking on-line for replacements for her Thomas Kinkaide limited edition prints.

FWIW - This is the same person (clueless) who said to me the morning after the MSU/ISU Elite 8 game, "Isn't it exciting, two big ten teams in the final four!" I'd only been sitting across from her for 10 years and had a couple ISU items posted for years in my work area in plain sight.

Had an crazy lady sit behind me, who's young daughter did and drank everything.

She get a call from the Ankeny Principal: there is a rummer around school that her 13 year old daughter is having sex. Thought she should be informed.
Women starts screaming to the Principal for allowing such a rumor to start, and her daughter is an angel...for about 30 mins.

Month later: Get a call from her daughter...butt dialed her while having sex......

Years later: daughter (16), show up home drunk on a Saturday Night. Mom gets mad and call the cops. Has the daughter arrested. sent to jail. ..."that will show her"
As a result: she has to miss work to attend court with her daughter...already out of PTO for the year.
Next day she call the cops while at work: screams at them that she is not paying the fines for her daughters court case nore tickets......wow.

Lastly: her her call her Mom (grandma and scream at her to let her stay on Grandma's credit Card)...she promises to put up to $1500.00 per month on her grandma's credit card, that grandma is paying). ....what 40 year old still uses mommy's Credit card.

If it's anything like my office, she probably won your NCAA tourney pool that year.

Is this one of those "If you don't have any of these stories, you ARE that guy" types of things? :unsure:

butt dialed her while having sex - if she wasn't on speed dial, that would take talent. also, was the phone on the bed/floor/table? If it was in her pocket.....smh, kids these days. Take your pants off.


what 40 year old still uses mommy's Credit card - I'll introduce you to my sister in law sometimes

At a dinner where we were working to recruit the execs of a new customer one individual shared that his child breast-fed until the age of 5.

I once had to listen to a pregnant co worker talk to another female co worker about her hemorrhoids. Then the conversation turned to having sex while pregnant and how horny she was.

When they realized I was still in my office she was mortified. She didn't look at me for weeks.

I also used to do some custom farming for a guy in his 50s who still lived with his mom (in her 70s). They still had a mother/little boy relationship. It was creepy to be around. He had to ask "mothers" permission to do anything.

Her husband died at a young age and kept their son "safe" from the outside world. She apparently snapped. I have got lots of weird stories about them.

Uggh! How does a hemmorhoids conversation turn to horniness? I get that some people are into some weird ****, but hemmorhoids? That's a genre of kink that I have no desire to be familiar with. I'll stick with my celebrity look-a-like dwarf porn, thank you very much.
