I worked with someone for years and they didn't know how much I loved Prince until I brought some Prince stuff into the office, she then confessed she loved Prince too, then she started bringing her Prince books, etc. to work, we ended up going to the One Night Alone concert together.

Yes.

They all had emotional issues.

No coworkers loved him until I came along,now every1 loves him,but not like I do!

Not a co-worker but my psych prof. I walked in class early singing 'Nothing compares 2 u' and she's like 'Oh my God I love that song. I love Prince'. Now everytime I see her she starts singing it. Its freakin annoyin lol

I'm in grad school waiting for a rehearsal to start. One of the other actors walked in singing the first part of a line from "The Ride". I finished the line, he looks at me and we rolled thick as thieves for the two years we were there. Just because of that one moment. Pretty cool

Funny, this is how me and my (now ex) wife met.
I was playing a tape (yes, this was a few years back)
of different instrumental songs at work and when Susanah's Pajamas
from The Family album came on, she said "oh, this is Prince...
well, it is on an album by The Family, but it is really Prince"
I was, of course, totally amazed and I asked her how she
knew that. She replied: "I am the number one Prince fan"
to which everyone in the room froze because they all knew that I was
a total Prince nut and then some It was very funny.
A year later, we were married.

Yes! I have...like totally in love with him too. LOL. She asked me if I went to the Musicology concert I told her no..but I wanted to. She was like "My boyfriend and I went to the afterparty at PP afterwards and I was -ing over Prince the whole time! This man had grown people doing the hokey pokey!" LOL...she's like "I love my man but I just want ONE night with Prince!"

Prince would like her too..she is a beautiful woman.

Yes,
she works in the cat and dog shelter where Im volunteer. A person asked me what that symbol meant and she answered that its the Prince symbol. I talked with the coworker (she is so funny and nice), she told me: "im old .... of course I know Prince".... I told her that she aint old at all (just 7 years older than me) and that I listen 2 Prince since I was 11

Yes. I'm a teacher, and when I go to a show, and someone finds out later that I went, he or she will want to know why I didn't invite them along, like I'm the "Prince Party Planner" of our high school.

9 out of 10 times, tho, when I start talking about an event or what we consider "news", I find that they are 'oblivious' to recent Prince, and I come off as fanatical.

8-)mt ex-boss is a Prince fan..and then I found out her other friend ( who has $$$$) is a complete fan too...soo much this woman could just fly to where ever she wanted and see this man..she adores

I've never cared much for reasons other people like him.

I hate that "competitive" streak Prince fans tend to have: "I love him more than U"!!!! Sometimes I'll say I'm a fan and just move on, depending on how the conversation goes.
Like I was saying earlier, if they are not into him like I am they think I'm 'weird'; if they are, they're looking for a "party planner". I can't be bothered. I have my friends to groove with outside of work.

Prince fans are like clouds sometime alone, sometimes gather together sometimes moving faster than a speeding bullet.

I work in a hospital and for some consecutive days in a row in the parking garage I noticed a car with the symbol hanging on the rearview window and a license plate that read Ryde Divine I purposely parked my car that has license plate and embrioded seat covers near this car one day and to my suprise found a note left on my car from him wanting to meet he was doing a med rotation here. we quickly bonded and went to a show together in Birmingham. no romance just Prince pals he's now moved we talk every now and then he may be an orger for all I know .

All of my co-workers know that I like to listen to Prince -- but no one at my job seems to embrace his music like I do -- I work in a small office with about 15-17 people and none of them even knew about 3121 -- most of them have heard of Prince and only are familliar with the classics "Purple Rain" and "Little Red Corvette" -- I think it's just a generation gap -- I am anywhere from 7 to 10 years older than most of my co-workers and I am 13 years younger than my oldest co-worker

yup--there's another woman in my office who digs 'im too.

great story

i did. at h and r block... we almost dated but she was just not that into me...

Well one of my best friends classmates from radio school's a big fan.
We were set up on a blind date, and had a great time at this
old record shop, but he lives in a different state, so
it didn't really work out

I was so upset! How often do you meet a cute guy who loves Graffiti Bridge?!?!?! (soundtrack and movie )

This story is awesome
I want it to happen to me!

hick up

Yes, and it was a disaster. They did tell me some juicy tidbits that confirmed a lot of the negative statements concerning his relationships.

yes I have tried to look over things I disliked to keep a relationshiop going with a fellow Prince fan but we had nothing in common but prince

Yearssss ago, I was wearing one of the gold symbol lapel pins at work. A gal gets on the elevator and was all omg!! another P fan! She had just started working there and we bonded pretty quickly. Unfortunately we lost touch after she moved a couple of years later.

11 years ago I started a new job, on my second day I mentioned something about Prince and amazingly my new work colleague was as mad as me.

we have since been to a concert together and always compare the latest gossip.

we have both changed job and adress but are still great friends

I work at a hospital and most of the people I work with know I'm a Prince lover. Everytime some Prince news comes out, good or bad, it's "Hey, Pat. Did you hear Prince...." I met some very nice people at a Prince gathering, and one I keep in contact with regularly.

yea, i happened to mention something in an elevator once to a coworker, and found out she was a fan too. i hipped her to the npgmc and we went to three musicology's together.
