Office argument (brew rounds centric)

moousee [Edit] [Delete] 36 replies 13:41, 27 November '08

I just had a heated exchange with a girl who sits near me in the office. I wanted a cup of tea, so asked everyone who wanted one. I came back with four, as needed, and distributed them accordingly. As I was walking past the girl in question, she loudly demanded to know where her brew was. I said 'oh sorry, you weren't there when I asked if anyone wanted one', to which she replied 'well you should have fucking waited then'. I then suffered an angry rush of blood to the head, and told her to go and make love with herself. The whole office has gone really quiet now, I don't know how to break the tension!

  • Make her a cup of tea maybe?

    Royter-Hatfood | 27 Nov '08, 13:42 | X
  • She sounds like a cunt

    Should have just taken the high ground

    DanielKelly | 27 Nov '08, 13:43 | X
    • Draw up a convention

      with rules for brew-making.

      Make everyone sign it.

      PreludesNocturnes @DanielKelly | 27 Nov '08, 13:45 | X
      • Good username

        But far too much diplomacy in that plan. Go make her tea and scald her instead.

        DanielKelly @PreludesNocturnes | 27 Nov '08, 13:49 | X
        • I'm with DK, throw tea in her face and shove a ginger nut in her eye

          Ricky_Ronco @DanielKelly | 27 Nov '08, 14:21 | X
          • "Aaaaargh my eye...

            ... the doctor said I'm not supposed to get biscuit in it."

            PreludesNocturnes @Ricky_Ronco | 27 Nov '08, 14:31 | X
  • Don't.

    Let it fester all afternoon and then stick your tongue out as you leave tonight.

    MirriLondon | 27 Nov '08, 13:44 | X
    • the mature response!

      toomanykooks @MirriLondon | 27 Nov '08, 14:23 | X
  • go make her a cup of tea

    and loudly say "here's your fucking cup of tea!"

    before throwing it in her face

    • A uni flatmate did this to their flatmate one time in their 1st year while utterly trashed.

      With a freshly made cup of hot tea. Unfortunately the guy in question was hard as nails and proceeded to break the mug over my flatmate's head, necessitating him going to casualty and getting stitched up.

      The next morning he came upstairs and asked why his head felt funny.

      TheoGB @blaaast | 27 Nov '08, 14:03 | X
  • I have a 'not making tea for anyone but myself' rule

    as a result of this sort of thing and years of being a temp...

    But that's not particularly helpful to you.
    She is definitely wrong though.

    morepricksthankicks | 27 Nov '08, 13:47 | X
  • has she got bad PMTea?

    bizzy | 27 Nov '08, 13:48 | X
    • :D

      MirriLondon @bizzy | 27 Nov '08, 13:49 | X
    • go make yourself

      a second brew, just to make the point.

      popcult | 27 Nov '08, 13:51 | X
      • ^ this

        dove_from_above @popcult | 27 Nov '08, 14:12 | X
    • remind me never to mess with you

      cheers

      MirriLondon @Jack_El_Biscuit | 27 Nov '08, 13:54 | X
    • :D

      whiterussian @Jack_El_Biscuit | 27 Nov '08, 16:30 | X
    • Actually either give her a cup of golf tees

      or email this link: http://drownedinsound.com/community/boards/music/3507521

      they will both provide much tension-busting tea-based LOLasaurus rex's.

      basil | 27 Nov '08, 13:55 | X
      • ha. great thread.

        MirriLondon @basil | 27 Nov '08, 14:02 | X
    • what a bitch

      Give it to her straight, don't make a mug of yourself.

      Verbal | 27 Nov '08, 14:06 | X
      • send her an email with an attachment of a picture of tea.

        and do that every time you make a round of teas in future.

        Gashwrecker @Verbal | 27 Nov '08, 14:18 | X
        • HAHAHAHA

          YOUR NAME!

          too_black_too_strong @Gashwrecker | 27 Nov '08, 14:19 | X
        • :D

          superb,, maybe even a youtube link to a Tetley's tea ad?

          Verbal @Gashwrecker | 27 Nov '08, 14:25 | X
    • Do you think it is fair that I have to make tea for everyone in my office

      on a weekly basis even though I don't drink tea myself?

      doctornovocalcords | 27 Nov '08, 14:20 | X
      • Seems to be a common problem

      • Of course

        It's not their fault you are mental.

        olegrich @doctornovocalcords | 27 Nov '08, 14:28 | X
        • they're the ones reliant on stimulants

          to get them through a day of "work"

          doctornovocalcords @olegrich | 27 Nov '08, 14:31 | X
          • Can I make a bold statement

            and say that people drink tea purely for the taste and not for the caffeine boost? As opposed to coffee, which tastes like shit.

            olegrich @doctornovocalcords | 27 Nov '08, 14:33 | X
            • I only drink coffee for the taste too.

              Which is why I only drink nice proper coffee and the same reason I only drink nice teas like Earl Grey.

              TheoGB @olegrich | 27 Nov '08, 16:35 | X
      • Depends,

        are you the refreshments man?

        amnuck @doctornovocalcords | 27 Nov '08, 14:29 | X
    • A small update,

      she is still being a complete fanny fanny bumhole. My boss sent an email round to everyone about appropriate language as well.

      moousee | 27 Nov '08, 14:59 | X
      • Oh dear.

        She's probably not getting any.

        MirriLondon @moousee | 27 Nov '08, 16:36 | X
        • tea

          Gashwrecker @MirriLondon | 27 Nov '08, 16:41 | X
    • I thionk you should get lots of brews for everyone now

      be extra polite and when you give her hers look at the tea and wink and say 'heres your 'SPECIAL' tea'
      :)

      she'll be too frightened to drink it and then she'll look rubbish (to the office) for not drinking it
