"Just explain that Julian's doing a report

on returns to supplier."

I didn't understand it.


Who said that?


^5

You deserve it!


don't do it

don't do it


Wow. It was:

'Sienna or Keira?'
'What for? Re-populating the earth or tasting juices?'


"does

anyone mind if i turn the air conditioning up in here?"

"yes i do you sweaty fat pig"


"checking it once cheking it twice, gonna find out whos naughty and nice"

by the horrendous morbidly obese fiend woman in front of me.


^in response I was thinking:

'Yes and what would you like me to do about it? Use my magic powers and sniff out where it is and when it will arrive?'


I said it to myself. Under my breath

therefore it was the next thing I heard in the office. So it counts blud! It counts.


>_

"Here's the weather according to the BBC!"


"That hit me on the leg"

"No it fucking didn't"
"Yes it did"
"Well phone injurylawyers4U then, you muppet"


"shredding"

Fortunately this was relating to disposal of documents rather than 1980s guitar solos.


.

"I didn't realise there were people still down there in Life In The UK and we're talking about people shitting on each other"


_

"the burger ones are fine"


...

"Umm yeah, that's 3.165."

A phonecall overheard.


Discussion on my employers new logo.

"Iam trying to work out why one line is bigger than the other."
"Its good design."
"Looks shit if you ask me."


.

"there's two honour killings. those are good."


"One isn't quite enough"

(in reference to Tunnock's tea cakes). I concurred.


.

"I shouted 'ere mate, you need a booster cushion, you're too small to drive a full sized car around, you need your car remodifying' through his driver's side window"


is Paul in?

I quite want to know.


"Why is he swearing at me,

when I have no idea what he is on about'

I feel today is going to be the day I walk out.


Will do!

I'm not back in there until 9 tomorrow morning, are you ok to wait?


.......

"although there's 5 of us in the car, driving from London to Amsterdam....."


Do the coffee mugs look more stained to you?

Yeah I think the dishwasher's broken


"I can't take this anymore"

Me, to a colleague five seconds ago. She hasn't responded yet but her silence speaks volumes.


"where's the plastic thing?"

"there's no others in there?"

Overheard phonecall


.

"I can't smell"


I work in my office

alone.

I'm debating to take a lunchbreak today.


i'd like to say it's the most stupid thing i'd heard today

"no wait... leprechauns speak in riddles don't they"


My maths teacher colleague:

*fumbles for keys to the office we share*

*eventually puts key in lock*

*realises that office is open anyway and that I am in it, waving at him through the GLASS DOOR*

'oh. You're in. Right.'


not strictly speaking the next thing someone's said

but i spoke to the receptionist after my appointment - just asked "how are you?"

the reply: "a bit moist"


"We were being right sheepish...

in the hair dye isle."


"oh, I thought we were getting

a buy one get one free there"

Referring to an asylum seeker who smuggled himself here to be with his wife, only for the Home Office to demand he goes back to London.
