Stop speaking at work? Any suggestion?

[Generalist]

Do you speak Polish?

Yes as it happens. Does this imply your colleage only speaks Polish?

Found it a stange mind set, all the sh1t that goes on in the world, people like franko and bogeyman, life is just too short, try to be happy most of the time.

We do that. We are happy most of the time. Oh well I assume bogeyman must be too. Perhaps it's you that should take an anger management course. Have you ever thought that by calling someone a timewaster you can somehow offend him? I would at least expect that you said to be sorry to call him like that but that you would still strongly appreciate his help as you are really busy. I have been in the same situation as yours for the last 2 years but yet I never dreamed of calling the guy a timewaster (unless I decide to cut down the relationship completely). But judging from your reactions here I am afraid that this would never happen.

[Francko]

I didn't call him a timewaster,

fuk me is this all you do, manipulate what people say, I see you would be a bunch of laughs when you finally do speak.

I don't think it's me manipulating. I think it's you who fails to see that words can have different meaning in different heads and in different contexts. To me what you said in the first post means calling someone a timewaster, and perhaps to him too, whether it doesn't for you.

[bogeyman]

Well that is completely different and I guess you insutating that I called him something that I didn't doesn't help.

I asked him to help me, it happens and it happens more often when people don't do their jobs.

His attitude affect the work of the department, his reputation and the atmosphere generally in the department, again it is not only me that he is not speaking to.

However if the porblem is that bad, with me or whatever then a short meeting with the boss would have sorted it, to act as he did reflects unprofessionalism and immaturity.

I suppose if asking for help in a courteous manner triggers this response the guy has some serious issues.

Safe to say glad I am not working with you francko.

Well it's pretty well apparent that you are a humourless tosser of the first water!

Either that, or you're appearing to be so for some purpose. Are you laughing at us for not getting your subtle joke? Or are you just a toss pot.

I think Occams Razor sorts that one out.

[bogeyman]

Feck you bogeyman.

simple as that.

What is this a gay tag team with your buddy francko

Ooohhh! Bitch

[Spacecadet]

Ooohhh! Bitch

always nice to see a good traditional forum fight

"I explained that he can't sit there all day and do nothing and expect me to do the work"

If you prefer to think it's me not understanding english well do so. But please explain what the sentence means. I don't know if you would be glad or not to work with me as I would have certainly helped you as this is in my attitude but I wouldn't have talked to you after too and avoided you as much as possible.

I know. Why isn't there an emoticon of a banana swinging a handbag when you need one?

[bogeyman]

Must have hit a nerve there,

fracnko can cuddle you later,

watch what you say to him though, he might not speak to you

If you think you can upset me by suggesting I have homosexual tendencies then you're even more of a complete pr1ck than I thought.

Seems your colleague has the right idea.

No, thanks, I leave this entertainment to you and chico. I indeed do as I actually think and switch on the brain before I say something, you should try it as well. Oh wait, you still fail to recognise that you called him a timewaster... oh well, there is nothing to switch on then....
