Paid Members Monkee Posted January 5, 2010 Paid Members Posted January 5, 2010 (edited) 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! Edited January 5, 2010 by Monkee
Moderators PowerButchi Posted January 5, 2010 Moderators Posted January 5, 2010 What is the name of the Fijian war dance? I always remember the New Zealand Haka, and the Siva Tau of Samoa, but I always forget the name of Fiji's.

Paid Members JLM Posted January 29, 2010 Paid Members Posted January 29, 2010 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?"
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted January 29, 2010 Paid Members Posted January 29, 2010 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.
shep Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 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. http://goodaftermornings.blogspot.com/ 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 - http://goodaftermornings.blogspot.com/2010...ccountable.html And the facepalm punchline - http://goodaftermornings.blogspot.com/2010...mmediately.html
Barrington Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Idiots. They are everywhere. Unfortunately, when they are at work, you have less of an opportunity to walk away or ignore their ramblings. In my case, I have to tolerate sitting opposite one of the most idiotic people I

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.
Paid Members Carbomb Posted February 13, 2010 Paid Members Posted February 13, 2010 We got a girl at work today who thought that Winston Churchill was one of the presidents of the UK. Also, she thought Jesus was English.
