Reply to: how do you handle the co-worker who steals all your joke phrases

[MarillionFan]

Everytime I use a phrase he starts repeating it half an hour to a day later thinking I'm out of earshot.

Oh good grief. Just tell him. I'll do it for you

Stop stealing Eeks original phrases and using them around the office. Hot lunch, licking the chutney spoon, Bob, bedwetter and bleeding the radiators are all terms that Eek likes to use on a daily basis as 'his' phrases and you've only left him with Monday Links and Test Please Delete. Please desist immediately or he says he'll punch you.

God forbid anyone were ever to repeat a joke they heard!

Unlikely to be an irritation with any longevity. Just sit it out.

Make up some bull-tulip phrase that means nothing ... make sure he hears it but pull him up on it when he uses it. Ask him to explain what it means.

Then punch him in the face!

Try saying 'I like mens willies smeared with Marmite up my bumhole' and see if he continues

I'd hate that. Can't stand marmite. (See? Doesn't even deserve a capital letter)

It is really difficult to reply to that without getting really smutty, I mean, how would you know it's Marmite? It could be Vegemite or that other one which I've forgotten the name of. Then there is this:



Which I don't have but do have these:

Tell him some really racist and sexist jokes. plus some homophobic ones about Mohammed.

This option does obviously come with a certain level of risk and potential fall out if it goes wrong
