while the truth is putting on its shoes.
Mark Twain (1835 - 1910), (attributed)
Ms. Nasty Pants also has this habit of making up stories. The last time this happened, she stopped by my desk and said "don't you think we should ****?" (After note as result of comment - NO, it is NOT something sick/perverted. See comments for more detail). And I said "I don't care. We could **** if you want to. I'll participate."
Next thing you know, she's parading around the office, telling everybody "C-rella wants to ****." Then we **** and she reiterates it - "Well, C-rella really wanted to ****." "You know, C-rella thought we should ****." "C-rella kept begging for us to ****, so I got with soandso and we made it happen."
Not once. Not twice. Not just the day that we ****, but a month later. Not to one person, to every person that would listen. Over. And Over. And Over.
Whatever.
Shut the f*up.
Now when she comes around and asks "don't you want to ****?", my answer is a loud, resounding, "NO!" I'm not going to be known as the "requestor" for ****.
If she wants to ****, she can just dam* well say it.
Instigator.

Bah.
People are so irritating, aren't they?
Yeah, because everybody has somebody request something perverted at the office... Whatever{!}. Though, I guess it could be read like that.
No, it's not perverted. It's that a lot of people I work with read this, and I prefer not to be too specific so that they don't necessarily know exactly who I am referring to. I'm not trying to personally slam someone, but if there is a behavior that I don't appreciate then I want to be able to bring it to light.
My hope by being somewhat obscure is that if the person I am writing about directly reads my post, they don't necessarily have to go on the defensive, because they were not personally, openly attacked. Personal attacks are, in my opinion, and in this situation, unnecessary.
I tend to save confrontations /direct references for the friends that I trust and value enough to want to really make the investment of the tough parts of working through issues with.
Folks that I don't know that well, and/or have to maintain cordial relations with, I prefer not to confront if it is unnecessary (to keep my life simple).
My hope is that if the guilty party reads the post they will recognize their own guilt and might elect to change the bad/inappropriate behaviors.
E-
S'ok babe.
Ya perv.
