I have been co-existing (yuck) peaceably with my colleague for the past month or so (except for a very minor incident where he subtly insinuated that I was lying and I snapped at him.), but today, I am convinced that he is an IDIOT and an ASSHOLE, with absolutely no notions of gentlemanly behaviour. Ok, since we’re living in the era of equal rights, let’s be fair and not talk about gentlemanly behaviour, but this ASSHOLE has no CONSIDERATION either.
About a week ago, my boss suddenly had a fit of irritation which she felt she must deal with by micro-managing every. single. thing. we. do. including our lunch time. My pig of a colleague likes to have his lunch as early as possible because he will DIE without food for even one minute. So he has his at 12. I generally am not hungry at 12, because it’s only been three hours into the workday, and I like to take my lunch later so I can feel happy that I only have to work four more hours after lunch, instead of five.
To cut a long story short, one day, I left for lunch at about 12:30, actually because my boss called me at 12:15 to do something for her immediately. When I came back from lunch at 1:30, my boss said in a rather nasty tone that both of us should try to have our lunch at the same time, so as to minimise the hours people are unable to contact us in the office — which is a totally STUPID thing for her to say — because if my colleague has his lunch at 12 and I have mine at 1, the office will always be staffed and we will not have to tell anyone not to call during lunch hours. But there was no stopping her crazy, insane need to vent her irritation by micro-managing, so both of us, the colleague and me accomodated her.
My colleague said he HAD to go for lunch at 12. I told my boss I was usually not hungry around that time, to which she sighed loudly. I then back-pedalled (cheap push-over that I am) and said that it would be alright if I went for lunch at 12 also. To which, she back-pedalled (insane person that she is) and said I could have it at 1. So now, our lunch hours are fixed — his at 12, mine at 1.
Except that, he will quite frequently ask me if I want to go for lunch earlier, when it’s inconvenient for him to go at 12 because it’s i.e. raining, or he’s too full because he gobbled down a bak chang 1 hour before lunch or some other inconvenience that his stupid sissy self can come up with. Firstly, if I want to go for lunch early, I wouldn’t have asked for the 1 pm time-slot. Secondly, if it’s raining, I will get drenched as well. Do I look like I’m waterproof or STUPID? Thirdly, if you ask me to go for an earlier lunch because you have work to do, I will generously agree, but his reasons are all non-work-related, so I don’t see why I’m obliged to agree.
So, my answer to his question almost-every-single-day is, “NO!” To which he will say, “Wah liau“, like I’m being the most unreasonable bitch ever when he’s the one being an ASSHOLE. Stop. Bugging. Me. Idiotic Asshole.
if i’m u..i would have fark ur blardy colleague so hard that his mother cant recognise him….

Hello, I enjoy reading through your article. I like to write a little comment
to support you.
I’m amazed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s equally educative
and interesting, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail
on the head. The problem is an issue that not enough folks
are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy I found this in my search for something relating to this.
Interesting blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
A theme like yours with a few simple adjustements
would really make my blog jump out. Please let me know where
you got your design. Thanks
