      Are you thinking about the coffee cup scene?



      That was the funniest scene in the movie.

        Yeah, Peter's nightmare of Jennifer Anniston and Lumbergh going at it while he sips his coffee...

          That's never happened to me before, but now it's been mentioned it almost certainly will.

              Grr, I mentioned the Office Space scene a long time ago! Now men ignore me too. Boo hoo.

              Anyway, glad I could make you all feel good by comparison.

                  No.

                  I am just wondering why she isn't more tactful.

                    In my experience, I'm not saying all girls, but alot of them somehow think that exes and current boyfriends in the same room is somehow a good idea. This also applies to guys that like them.

                    Some guys do this too, they get a power trip out of it.

                    But that's never a good idea for anyone involved.


                    I've always tried to keep ex girlfriends and current ones completely apart from each other.

                    I think to pretend that "we can all be mature about this" is a bad idea.

                      Show them a doco of male sea elephants fighting for mates. Then they know mature males beat each other up for females.

                        Good point.

                        The lower brain has more influence than any maturity level could every hope to.

                          I experience somewhat of the same phenomenon, but only when I run into ex-girlfriends or hear about ex-boyfriends.

                          What is the solution I've discovered recently? I make sure I'm the one that's making her scream, so I won't be jealous in the future

                              Oh, don't get me wrong, I intend to go to the Birthday Ball anyway, it's not likely that I'll see them without deliberately trying and as long as I don't see his face I should be okay. I don't think she was tactless, I think she thought she was being tactful and didn't know better; perhaps she wasn't even thinking about the BF being there at the time. I did sort of ask her out of the blue, TBH.

                              I'm glad TEF, at least, can commiserate. I don't know that geographical proximity will let us have that drink though. As for Immortal Wombat, sorry, I didn't think it was so rare, or that it could be "contagious" from description. If you do get it and find a therapy that gets rid of it, do tell me.

                              I tried googling "office space syndrome," in quotes, on a wild guess, but it turns out people use the term to refer to the whole hellish-job thing. As if that's the really painful thing shown in that movie.

                                There are lots of truisms in that movie.

                                I swear, that was my first job out of college.

                                We even had two Bobs as consultants feeding us a load of crap.
