Every job I've had has one of these...

Dear co-worker who sits 2 rows behind me,

You talk so very loudly, you are an "expert" on everything, you make things up to try and impress those who could potentially give you your commission (or anyone who will listen, really), you butt into conversations you haven't been invited to participate in (conversations going on several rows away from you), and whenever anyone tells you a story you always have one that's better than theirs.

But truthfully, all I hear from you is "Blah blah blah blah blah...BLAH BLAH BLAH."

Still, if you wanted to shut up I certainly wouldn't have any objection to that.

Thanks,
Julie

I think you should really send that, but sign it "your co worker" or something so you remain a mystery.

Actually, people like that can be incredibly fun to egg on, once you're onto them. Start telling ridiculous stories and let them try to top it. It's hilarious how far people will go to be impressive, hoping you'll like them, despite how ridiculous they sound.

This is how I ended up with another missionary telling me how he and a friend blew up their house with the loaded grenade launcher his friend's father kept above the fireplace mantel. Seriously. Good story.

Peter is funny! :D
I know how you feel, Jiles. John met a guy that said when he was in Basic Training he was doing sniper target shots from 8 miles away. The record for the longest snipe shot is about 1.5 miles... The guy got all embarrassed when John made him look like an idiot and now his nickname is forever "8 Mile." :D
