Oh dear, my friend's got one... She just sent me this e-mail:

 

That reminds me, at dinnertime, when we were walking to the shop, I said that I was sick of winter and that I was going to move somewhere hot like Fiji. Louise said, "Ooh, yes. I'm quite good at the haka." FFS. She thinks Fiji is in New Zealand, and it doesn't matter how many times we have this conversation, she STILL thinks Fiji is in New Zealand. She asked me what New Zealand was like once, and I said I'd never been. She said, "But I thought you said you'd been to Fiji." I explained to her then that it was an entirely different country, but she still can't get it into her head. Her reaction today when I reminded her that Fiji wasn't in New Zealand was, "Well, where IS it then?" As though it couldn't possibly be anywhere else.

 

I'm getting irrationally annoyed just remembering it!

Guy at work had his birthday yesterday and he was running through his presents. These included a new pair of goggles and running shoes because he's competing in a triathlon soon.

 

A co-worker asks:

 

"So do you have to do ALL THREE things in a triathlon?"

Someone in my office mentioned the other day that one of their friends had uploaded a school photo of her to Facebook. LOL, and all that.

 

I mentioned that someone I went to school with had uploaded a class photo that I appeared in (at the tender age of 7). So Katie contributes to the conversation by saying that it must be interesting because it would be an "old fashioned type photo".

Que raging conversation trying to convince with her and several other younger members of my office trying to convince them that we did indeed have colour photography in the 1980s, and it wasn't taken by a man with his head under a cloak, holding aloft a cup of flash powder.

From there it went to them refusing to accept that computers existed at that point too. Bare in mind that Katie is only 9 years younger than me, hardly a technological era's worth of time.

This seems as good a place as any to mention a cracking blog I have been following. Silent Koala not only works with an idiot, said idiot is his boss.

Enjoy it while you can, I think things are coming to a head and I am not sure Koala can take much more. My favourite recent highlight unfolds over two entries to give you a little flavour of the insanity -

And the facepalm punchline -

saw this, seemed appropriate: http://mylifeisaverage.com/s/677235

A woman I knew thought the same thing. She also thought that the sun rotated to become the moon.

I work with a girl that thought the moon was just what we called the sun at night.

 

Today she on about how she loves smoking so much, that if tobacco becamse illegal, she'd just smoke paper.

My mum asked me what religion doesn't do christmas.

 

 

 

oh oh oh

 

Conversation from two of my housemates outside my room. Helen and Chris

 

Helen: Oh hi Chris, you look sporty, have you been out playing football?

 

Chris: Oh no, I've just been out with mates. We went climbing.

 

The next line I swear is not a joke.

 

Helen: Oh, really? Climbing? What's that? Is it like caving?

 

Me, from other side of the door: HELEN YOU FUCKING MORON.
