Life conundrums

Recommended Posts

Dear Agony Zedders,

 

Today I've been an idiot, I forgot my keys. As I have no keys I can't get into my desk draw which is causing me a huge issue....

 

I can't get my headphones out!! (or my paperwork...) My colleagues are taking this as a sign of "I'm sociable, please talk to me!"

 

What can I do to regain my peace for the day? or should I just join in with the monotony of being a "non car person"?

 

Thanks for your help,

Aliveboy!

:lol: I'm sat here with headphones in :p

 

Craft some tool to break into the draw?!

 

I spent 10 minutes trying whilst people talking about their little precious trying some special soup for the first time, I can get the draw open about 5mm, but not enough to see anything. I can't break the draw too much, as I hide cake bars, chocolate etc in there and need to keep it safe :lol:

 

Go home sick. Job done!

 

It's busy season here, so it might not go down too well :lol:

Don't talk about the weather, whatever you do. It's a sign that you're trying to make small talk without being personal. Instead of relating to the rain or sun, try relating to the person you're talking with.

Pay attention to your body language

Maintain good eye contact

Keep your hands under control

Talk slowly and laugh at their jokes even if theyre crap

That should get you to lunch time!

Get your keys then get back to this.... :bose:

Not sure how many people are in your office, but these phrases should exclude you from any future conversations:

 

"Eat too much over Christmas did we"? (Whilst pointing at their waistline).

"That eye shadow really doesn't suit you"

"Did you get your hair done at the weekend? No? You should of done".

"I don't think that's your colour is it really"?

"Did you see the new series of Dancing on Ice? I didn't as the paint I was watching was still drying"

 

And if all else fails....

 

"Hey, let's talk about cars"

Eat two packets of prawn cocktail crisps then two packets of scampi fries then be sure to breathe heavily towards anyone who approaches and mentions any one of:

 

Soaps

Little Timmy

Reality TV

Weather

What happened over Winterval

Anything in the Daily Mail

Floods

Wind

The ongoing crisis in Syria

 

Scratch the last one, no one talks about that when there's a dance based contest on TV.
