Things that people say when they're trying to be funny... but they're not.
I have the word "JOY" on my desk, in gold letters with glitter on them. Not my style but they were from the management office so I put them up. So some people are walking by and saying "Hello, Joy!" and stuff like that.

NOT FUNNY.



Just now a guy called and asked for a co-worker. Everyone else is on a different phone system, so I have to give them a different number cause I can't transfer them. I always ask, "Do you have a pen?" cause a lot of times people don't and I don't want to just start rattling off digits cause that's frustrating... so just now the guy says, "No, but I have a pencil."

NOT FUNNY.


Add your own!



Please?

Course I can't do that to people on the phone... but... maybe I could just blow my raspberry at them or something.

3. Hello, Joy
Sounds like the plot of a Friends episode. Chandler will be cynical. Joey will act stupid. Rachel will contemplate screwing Ross. The blonde chick will play a stupid song on her guitar. The other girl will make matter of fact remarks when others are talking.

Roll the credits.

4. You secretly love that show, don't you?
You sure know an awful lot about it for someone who hates it.

10. Why would you want to know anything about it?
I don't spend my time googling Survivor... or America's Next Top Model... just so I can rant about them like an obsessed anti-fan on a message board.

Hate is the opposite of love, you know. Just admit that you care very deeply about Friends, and we'll move on.

11. I do if I want to give a brief synapsis of every show
Edited on Mon Dec-15-08 06:41 PM by Symarip
To people who think a bunch of dillholes living way too close to each other in NYC is considered good television.

I've seen probably three episodes of Friends total, in my life.
