Why am I reminded of this scene from the movie Fight Club?
Richard Chesler: [Reading a piece of paper] The first rule of Fight Club is you don't talk about Fight Club?
Narrator: [Voice-over] I'm half asleep again; I must've left the original in the copy machine.
Richard Chesler: The second rule of Fight Club - is this yours?
Narrator: Huh?
Richard Chesler: Pretend you're me, make a managerial decision: you find this, what would you do?
Narrator: [pauses] Well, I gotta tell you: I'd be very, very careful who you talk to about that, because the person who wrote that... is dangerous.
[Gets up from the chair]
Narrator: [Talking slowly] And this button-down, Oxford-cloth psycho might just snap, and then stalk from office to office with an Armalite AR-10 carbine gas-powered semi-automatic weapon, pumping round after round into colleagues and co-workers. This might be someone you've known for years. Someone very, very close to you.
Narrator: [Voice-over] Tyler's words coming out of my mouth.
[Snatches the piece of paper from boss' hands]
Narrator: [Voice-over] And I used to be such a nice guy.
Narrator: Or maybe you shouldn't bring me every little piece of trash you happen to pick up.
[Phone rings]
Narrator: [Into phone] Compliance and Liability...?
Marla Singer: My tit's gonna rot off.
Narrator: [to boss] Would you excuse me? I need to take this.

I think http://twitter.com/ might be even better for him.
I have a plan to run a server farm full of AI bots that will act as 'virtual friends' to Twitter users and express a great interest in the every detail of their non-lives.
Wilmslow: I had a blueberry muffin for breakfast - yum!
AI Bot: Hey! That's Great!
Wilmslow: I had a huge dump!
AI Bot: Hey! That's Great! Any muffin currants come out?

I am a good company man - he thinks he is but he does not even have a company tie.
He reckons his Focus is great - he doesn't realize it is no better than my Skoda.
Most of the people here are boring - but this person out-bores them all!
Last week I pissed all over his shoes in the gents - he just ran away.
What a loser.

We seem to arrive at the same time in the car park – makes my Focus look like a supercar as he has a T reg Skoda, always immaculately polished. I proffer a friendly wave – he completely ignores me.
He waits until I get out of the car and walk to the office – today I spent longer enjoying a song on the radio, hence he bolted – I soon caught up with him, he looked right through me.
Once at the desks, I offer a friendly good morning. He pretends I don’t exist.
He wears a company tie – best polyester, of course. Personality of a brick.
End of the day – I wave goodbye. I may as well be waving to a corpse.
Appears to have chips on his shoulder, as well as his stomach.
Looks like a good contender for a new series of The Office.
I am sooo not bothered. I just find him very entertaining and enjoy expecting nothing back from a friendly hello.
Anyone else got one of those office pets?
