Conversations at Work Today That Have Put Me on the Verge of Smashing My Head Into a Wall

Coworker #1: I have to go to 125th Street tomorrow.
Coworker #2: Isn’t that, like, in the Bronx?

Coworker: When are you leaving for Colorado?
Me: I’m not going to Colorado.
Coworker: You’re not? I thought you said you were going skiing this weekend.
Me: I am. In Vermont.
Coworker: Vermont, Colorado… same thing.

Coworker #1: Your boyfriend is hot!
Coworker #2: (giggling) Thanks.
Coworker #1: You should see her boyfriend’s picture! Go on MySpace and look.
Coworker #3: Okay. Wait, how do I get to MySpace again?

    says:

    At least you don’t work with girls that grew up priviledged and retarded, like my coworker. She used to be friends with Paris Hilton in High School.

    Coworker: “Oh my god! Anna Nicole Smith has slept with so many men…I mean, like, she seriously slept with all these guys!”

    Coworker: OH MY GOD I JUST SAW A MOUSE! (starts running around, shrieking like a banshee)
    20 minutes later, still freaking out:
    Coworker: WHAT IF IT WAS A RAT?
    10 minutes later:
    ::leaves to go complain to another coworker in the back house::
    10 minutes later:
    ::walks into back door only to start screaming and freaking out again because she saw another mouse (probably the same one)::
    Coworker: I’ve never seen a mouse before. I am freaking out! I think I need to take a walk. Or leave. I am so shaken up right now. ::picks up bag and leaves::

    Boss (obviously kidding): OH MY GOD Meaghan did you order budget [as in, off-brand] ibuprofin? This won’t do!
    Coworker (dead serious): I KNOW. When i saw that, I was like, OH MY GOD. I like, need the coating [referring, i believe, to Advil]. Those gross me out.
    Boss: Um, I was kidding. These are fine.

    Coworker: “Oh my god I love these new water bottles. I never sucked the old ones, but these new ones it’s just like drinking - you don’t have to suck.”

    Coworker: Oh my God did you see the Sierra Mist ad with the guy with the combover beard?
    Me: No.
    Coworker: He seriously has a beard that’s a combover!

    How did I come up with so many examples on the fly? Well, whenever she says or does something ridiculous, I email my roommate about it. He doesn’t believe she exists.
