Hey guys... pretty bad... i was sitting at my desk all being nice and kind and not bothering anyone at all, when all of a sudden everyone from the office comes in and starts to sing happy birthday to me. I was like... ooooooooh man.. i think i musta turned beat red. So they were like.. CUT the cake!!!!!.... Its not my BIRTHDAY... cause its November 23, but they were like, SO WHAT, we are EARLY!!...and i was like... uh.. no, im on a diet, then they were like.. CMON cut it.. and i told them no thank you, and then.. i think it hit them, cause i told them when i first got hired that i didnt celebrate my birthday. So all of a sudden it hit them, and they were like.. oooh.. um... ok well happy birthday.. um.. i mean.. happy thanksgiving.. oh.. well.. um.. crap.. have a great night.. and left as fast as they could.. I felt terrible, it was a really big cake, and they must have went through SO much trouble to set it all up.

So, has this ever happened do any of you?

wow!! that is SOOOOOOOOOOO rough!! something similiar happened to me, they post on the email list everyone's birthdays for the month and then once a month have a big party for everyone, so this month, everyone's like come on! come in!! we gotta sing happy birthday to you! so that was pretty rough, but at least it wasnt in front of a whole bunch of people!!

Just wondered, someone pointed out a few days ago in a musing that they couldnt get their head around guys meaning everyone.

Were u just specifically talking to those of the male species or referring to everyone?
Cos i use it for everyone, so i was just interested lol

nine, it was tpham in musing #9214. he was referring to the word "gize", not "guys". he just can't get used to the difference in spelling, i think.

actually ty doesn't like using "guys" when meaning a group of mixed gender. I've had this conversation with him.

you handled it better then I did!

tpham tphamOG 2001 ·

my suggestion is too just take off your pants.. they'll be so confused at whats going on .. they'll just leave you alone.. and walk away .. bewildered

i tried that... it works

krod krodOG 2001 ·

tpham tphamOG 2001 ·

yea it's amazing how good it works.. unless all your co workers are women.. and then they just stay there and come on to you .. so.. it doesn't work in that situation
