The Random Thought Thread, Part 6

Recommended Posts

What the heck is with women and me these days? So in the past month or so I feel pretty despondent about my ability to attract women. Example1 underling at work is being hit on by women while on work trips, and yet I the younger guy is chop liver (at best). Example2, while on a work trip a woman starts acting rather weird on seeing me in a hotel, asking about security of the hotel ( and all I wanted was a disposable razor). Example 3, OLD well that goes with out saying; ended up with a texting buddy and double digit no thanks.

 

OK I know it's 99% me, but still I am getting a complex.

People don't respond anymore? No return emails? No return calls? It's definitely a pattern, and a change from a few years ago. Everyone is busy, I know, but, such widespread loss of common courtesy? Or is it me? Am I off-putting?

 

And, ouch, my hand hurts~!

Does it make me a horrible person that I refuse to put the teaspoons in the dishwasher at work with the scoop side up... I'd like to think people take them out with the handles and not touch the scoopy part (yes I am that person...

also, when you send someone a very professional and polite email, and the "professional" sends a one-sentence reply with typos and "lol"s, "k"s and "C ya"s. i don't expect servility, but i expect professional manners. i'm not your homegirl.

 

on the kitchen stuff, i am grossed out when i see people "wash" a mug they've just used by running it under the tap for three seconds, wiping the coffee stain off with their bare hands.

eff that, dirty slobs. i haven't had a sip out of anything other than my waterflask and cups dispensed straight out the machine since forever.

 

gross people. gross.

I find it strange when business people I do not know put a smile face at the end of a business email... Where is the professionalism?

 

Ewwww Ewwww.... - cups need disinfecting, I'm sure I caught my first cold sore from a not properly cleaned cup - hot hot water peeps!

 

Thanks Coily! nice to have my back!
