This has been bugging me for awhile (and I'm talking about 8 months here since I had a super emo person that friended me and would not leave me the fuck alone) so here goes -

I hate when people announce friends cuts or do the whole "comment to stay my friend". Look, it's your friends list. Do with it what you want. You like me, keep me, you don't, then don't.

I'm not going to comment on the "comment to stay my friend" thing because if we are friends.............. you will keep me regardless of whether I beg you to or not.

I really don't see why people announce friends cuts either. It's your flist. You want to cut some people, go for it. That's your choice. All I've seen it do is send people into a tizzy about whether or not they've been cut.

Just so much dislike for this whole thing.

Moving on to something much less frustrating - BOYSNOGGING VIDEO MONTAGE that

mortenvida found that is abso-frikken-lutely amazingly awesome.

Then - this conversation literally just happened when male coworker1 (C1) comes in to male boss's office -

C1: I hear you have a screw loose.
B: You what?
C1: [Coworker2] said that you do but I can't say if you do or not but I have a driver just in case.
B: I don't think we're talking about the same thing.
C1: *pauses*
C1: *thinks* OH!!!!! I didn't mean it that way.
B: *flirtatiously* So I can't experience your driver then?
C1: *blushes*

*time passes with them looking at the screw*

C1: I'm going to need an Allen for this.
B: You want to bring Allen into this? I'm not enough for you?
C1: *blushes*

*time passes with them looking at the chair and C1 is on his knees tightening a screw with my boss's desk*

B: I don't know how this fell out
C1: It's not my fault!
B: You were the one playing with it.
C1: You were supposed to hold it while I did it!
wook: *sporfles*

Hee, I love my coworkers.

I like the icon.

And, if I'm cutting you off my flist, you're gonna know about it, in a big way.

*hugs you cos I can*

Thank you for saying that. It has always boggled my mind as to why people would say they were making a friends cut. And the blanket "comment if you want to stay" has always seemed odd. I do respect people's rights to conduct their flist in their own way, and if that's what makes them happy, though, I guess that's the way they should proceed.

*raises eyebrow* It's a mark of a true slasher when she starts slashing her coworkers..

A friend and I were giggling at a meeting the other day, though, when she read a quote, "Encourage open expressions of brotherhood".

I remarked that it was slashy and another lady kept saying "I don't get it!", which made us laugh even more. I could not keep a straight face later when I had to read aloud a letter asking for donations of things like baskets of sausages...

The friend I was giggling with has a study of homosexual sheep taking place in the OSU-owned field behind her house.

XD I totally didn't find it, a friend sent it to me. <3 But you're welcome!

And you should TOTALLY send that into OverHeard in the Office.

Thanks, I couldn't resist an icon for this scenario, it's not like I don't post it fairly often :). Also - I love your icon! *giggles*

You ever cut me off your flist and I swear to god and all that's holy that you will get emo after emo after emo message from me. In fact, I will get OTHERS to send you emo messages from me. *nods*

UGH, I know. This has seriously been brewing for months and I just couldn't take it anymore.

I didn't even have to slash them, they slashed themselves! Oh man, it was hilarious.

The homosexual sheep thing is awesome. WAY awesome!

*grins*

My coworkers have this sort of thing all the time. It's hi-freaking-larious. The copier guys from a month or so ago were also classic.

Where is "overheard in the office" anyway?

XD Your work place is awesome.

Right here (http://www.overheardintheoffice.com/) and they've also got a LJ I think... Yep!

overheardoffice!

THe sheep keep breaking through the fence into her back yard and they keep having to send football players to wrestle them back over the fence.

The study is controversial because you have the gay pride folks scared that somehow someone is going to interpret the results to show you can breed homosexuality out of the Human herd, and the Far Right is concerned that it might be genetic and not somehing you can counsel out of somebody in three weeks a la Ted Haggard, and PETA is in there somewhere saying "Gay rights for sheep!"

All the poor little sheep are saying is, "Why cain't I quit ewe?"

Okay, that was baaaaad!

o ya, that bugs me big time. in fact i had this (points) icon made just so i could use it the next time someone made a post like that. d00d. just. how high school can you get???

hahahahah! did SLL observe all this or was the slashiness lost on her? your boss = awesome most of the time, man :D

Dude, that's a hilarious conversation. (and i so just done commenting on wendy's lj about how i keep saying 'dude' and usually i erase it when it's in a comment, but i have to leave it now)

and i usually overlook someone saying they're doing a friends list cut, for much the same reasoning you mentioned. it's downright silly.

I agree. The only time I can see it serving any useful purpose is if you are trying to figure out whether some journals have actually been abandoned or if the people are reading and just lurking (and of course that only makes sense to do if you have some/all entries locked, because otherwise they can lurk away and still read it even if you defriend them). Most of the time it's not done for that purpose, but just done so that the poster can get an ego boost by seeing people clamour to stay on the list.
