Winceworthy

[i_kender]

The man we call Loud Guy in our Cube Farm (who sits about 30 feet to my right but whose booming voice still makes my hammer and anvil vibrate every time he opens his mouth) just made me wince.

He leaned over to the young Australian temp in their team and said (in tones loud enough to shake the room, naturally) "So do they have any young attractive girls left in Australia then?"

There was a general murmur of polite laughter. And much eyerolling.

*facepalm and gender shame*

*Perplexed*

*putting you out of my misery*

She's been here for a week or two.

...I was so tempted just to reply: "HER FACE!" ;)

Funny, but epi_lj seems to be having a similar kind of day.

Why can't I think of suave lines like that?

[i_kender]

Oh no, trust me... there was nothing suave about it! He reminds me of Dom Joly. Plus it's not the line, it's the *delivery*...

Hey Baby, heaven must be missing an angel cause you got great tits!

That kind of thing?

Much much worse. Imagine a flat nasal drone, with no charisma, but at deafening booming volume.

So Adam Sandler then?

More like David Brent in the Office.

I never watched that. I just don't like Ricky Gervais. He was ok in Alias and I liked him getting stabbed in Stardust but apart from that no way.

[i_kender]

Oh goody. I can't stand him either. I think that's why The Office was such a success... because he is a knob in real life.

It's like how Affleck is only really any good at playing assholes
