So this ex co-worker of mine emails me today out of the blue and asks me if I'm ready to go drinking tonight for another soon to be ex co-worker who's leaving my company after this week. I reply back that no, she knows I don't drink, so I won't be going. her reply back to me is "so I heard you gained 5 pounds during tax season". I'm dumbfounded. What kind of reply is that? She even quotes my quip about not drinking, so I know she read it, she just pulls this comment out of left field for no reason. I reply back, trying to make a joke out of it, that it might be more than 5 pounds since I have ZERO physical activity during tax season because I'm puttign in about 70 hours a week. She replies back "I can tell"...WTH does she mean she can tell...I haven't seen this woman in almost a year. I guess I sholdn't be surprised though, when she worked here, she actually emailed me once and asked me when I lost my virginity. #1) we're weren't close like that, and #2) why the hell would you ask that kind of question on a COMPANY email account? Just complete lack of social ettitquette. I feel like smacking some sense into this dimwit.
tell her to stop acting like an idiot and be done with it. i wonder how people like that even get jobs to beging with.
I've told her that on more than one occassion in person and via email, but it's like she's socially autistic. This is the 20th email she's sent me since she left the firm, and probably the 3rd one I answered (the other two being Happy Chinese New year and Happy Birthday).
You're kidding right? This girl is flirting with you. If you want to have sex, here it is... on a plate... You might even get a free breakfast. and you're griping about etiquette???
Who flirts by telling someone that they gained weight? If she's trying to flirt, she's doing a terrible job.
You're not a girl. Guys don't give a squat about their weight. This comment could have even meant 5 pounds added to your dork. If you want to know if she's flirting, tell her good morning while looking in her eyes for an extra second and see if she's locked on. If she is and you don't explode, then find a bathroom fast. It could be the best 27 seconds of your life.
yeah, sounds like she's flirting with you. the response to "looks like you gained 5 pounds" should be " 4 of them are in my pants"
she looks like my ex gf who (as several of my friends pointed out to me AFTER we broke up) happens to look like one of those amateur p*rn girls. So i'm sure there's nekkid pics somewhere that look like her.
