i work in a cube with three other people: one guy and two women. i've been working with these people for the last two years. everything had remained the same from day one until recently i noticed the guy and one of the women getting a little too close. :UGH: they came clean to me and supposedly i'm the only one who knows though everyone in the whole damn company has been talking about them always being together.

i thought, well, whatever do your thing, but lately things have been getting out of hand in regards to their affection to one another. they are constantly gushing to each other, touchy feely, taking all three of their breaks together, constantly I.Ming each other with the internal messenger. put it this way, you don't see one without the other. i really do think their fucking on their break. they leave for about a hour and a 1/2 and come back with something the picked up at the drive thru. they spend about 2/3's of their day courting each other and disregarding their work.

now, i'm probably the best person i know who can keep a secret and knows how to mind his own, but because their are so conspicuous and tactless i really want to bust them out to the boss. i know that wouldn't be cool, i just don't want to set off the fireworks by telling them about themselves. i do have to work with these people and yes they are very vindictive.

WWYD?

now i'm to the point where their behaviour is obnoxious and revolting. i can't stand to look at either one of them. i use to be friendly with the two, but now i don't have the energy to utter one word to them, this of course is adding more tension to the cube

I don't think its appropriate to date someone in the work place. You break up and things get awkward anyway... I think you should tell them that they are getting to expressive with it. Leave it for after work. If they don't listen simply imply that everyone else notices too.

heybaby said:

their aware that everyone notices them, but it don't stop them.

the thing is that they always hung out with each other and laughed when people said they had something going on. now something is really going on! talk about reverse psychology.

If it disrupts your work or the quality of your work go have a talk with HR. Does the office have a dating policy? If it gets overbearing bust'em... if it's just cute or they realize they should be more careful, then leav'em alone...

In no way would I rat them out. Lame.

Just tell them to knock it the fuck off.

You really should be asking WWJD.

RenHoek said:

yes, it disrupts my quality of work.

i would never go to HR.

it's already overbearing, way past cute, dude.

JustErin said:

the thing is that there are other dynamics at play. the woman involed is really high strung, bitchy, emotional and fickle and i'm so ready to get off of her rollercoaster. so, the motherfucker in me is saying "GET HER", but my cool chill side is like fuck 'em. yes, i'm a pacifist.

Get it on with the fourth person. That'll show them.


Seriously tho,
What does the other person feel about their behavior?

sinisterpentatonic said:

Nah don't go tell. its not that serious . Just tell 'em its getting on your nerves.

hokie said:

well, considering that the guy is married with 3 kids and the girl is living with her boyfriend, i'd think Jesus would start making some phone calls.

sinisterpentatonic said:

Or at the very least turn some staplers into lunch so they wouldn't have to do drive thru all the time.

johnart said:

the other person wants to kill them both. And both of them being queen bees isn't really helping the situation.

heybaby said:

Co-sign on that, but it's possible that I thought of it first, I just didn't post it. I was going to post it earlier, but then got distracted. So you're really co-signing me.

But yeah, what he said. Unless he's a she.

sinisterpentatonic said:

I'm with everyone here who's saying don't tell on them.
Tell them it's simply NOT THE PLACE and to save it for after hours.

johnart said:

THEN get it on with the 4th person on one of their desks.

sinisterpentatonic said:

I can see how that would play out. not pretty

For the love of God, I will never understand
why anyone would date somebody who are
in the same office or even the same
work building.

What if you break up? Having to look
at or talk to the a person on a regular
basis after a breakup is seems
über unpleasant to me, especially if
it involves work.


I'd snitch them out
What if the boss needed a recommendation
on one of them as to who to chose
for an important project or who to riff?
A woman in love will stab your
ass in the back in a heart beat
to make her man happy.

I was gonna say the voice of reason but there just had to be a reference to ass didn't there...

RenHoek said:

OMG, what is it with everyone saying all I talk about is ass!!

people make fucking too complicated

Imago said:

If there's no end in sight and you've reached the bottom then it's either shit or get off the pan. No need to get anal about it. The cube needs an enema.

I'd TOTALLY date a fucking amazingly hot co-worker (if one actually existed, that is).

I can leave the personal shit outta my work life - frig I do that every day without fucking another staff member.

Imago said:

I guess you've built quite the reputation... and thanks for the

here have a

when they got touchy feely i'd start rubbing my nipples and let just the right amount of dribble slide down my chin.... a few well placed 'fuck yeah's' under my breath wouldn't go astray either

i'm not kidding

johnart said:

the thing is that they can't save it for after hours, both of them have to go home to their other lovers.

mcmeekle said:

you're both just co-signing me and since you co-signed with me first, Heybaby is just co-co signing.

You don't fuck where you eat.

heybaby said:

both of them are some big tittied, emotionally unstable, insecure, loud barrel sized women.

i wouldn't even want to fight them, i'd have to hit them over the head with my monitor or throw a printer at them or something.
