- Hello, how are you?
- Good thanks, how about you...
- Oh, you know, same... busy. You?
- Busy? Oh, yes, as always, you know
- Ah, thats good though... keeps you out of trouble.
- Yes, haha.
- haha
- See you later.
- Yeah see you later.
I have my studio in a purpose built complex with shared kitched facilities for each floor. Every day I hear that exact same conversation played out by different sets of people about 50 times, ever day. I am right opposite the kitchen facility so I hear it happen almost word for word approximately every ten minutes or so.
This kind of bullshit drives me nuts. I grinned along with it for a while, then it began to really bug me that I was slavishly going along with it, so I tried to throw it off track with random conversational diversions which made everyone think I was a quirky and interesting person... so they all 'dropped by' my studio fifteen times a day 'to see what I was drawing' which meant constant irritating interruptions to explain over and over again what I was drawing to someone who really didn't understand what I was drawing so felt compelled to ask me more questions ... so now I get to my studio in the morning and shut the door and avoid everyone studiously, sneaking out for coffee and/or visits to the little room only when I know the coast is clear.
Now I have a reputation for being 'offish' and anti-social, up my own arse and a bit of a wanker. I know this because the gossip-fly and shit-stirrer of my floor told me so when she caught me making a cup of coffee last week.
Why are humans so fucking irritatingly impossible to deal with?
This is a blog entry.
- Hello, how are you?SkyPoo
- The other thing I do is wear my huge headphones out to the kitchen with music blasting, to make it seem...SkyPoo
- pointless trying to talk to as I wont hear. Even so, I become aware that peoples mouths are moving, jovially...SkyPoo
- forcing me to remove my headphones and listen to what they're saying, which is always "How are you? Busy?"... Oh fuck off.SkyPoo
- fuck off.SkyPoo
- I'm right there with you.Jnr_Madison
- You are? I can't see you I CAN'T SEE YOUSkyPoo
- Agreed. I too am known as being offish and anti-social. Mainly because I'm offish and anti-social, but mainly because I've been driven to it by imbeciles.********
- ... I've been driven to it by imbeciles.********

you should record a number of those random banal conversations and play them through the wall into the kitchen area whenever any two people enter the room. Just before they start talking they hear the exact conversation they were about to have played at them from nowhere. Maybe its even them, the last time, maybe two other people, makes no odds...
- That is a fucking great idea.SkyPoo
- the more I think about it and try to imagine being in that situation, the more I like itkelpie
- this would make for a great exhibition piece. a large drawing or painting coupled ...7point34
- ...with 8 tapes all playing the same conversation all staggered though to make an obnoxious din7point34

One time this guy's baby puked, so he puked on his girlfriend, who then puked on him. Nice.

- Can't be true. Parents are imune to their own child's effluent. He must have had 'issues'.SkyPoo

- I must probe Jaline further when she returns. I suspect she faked a puking anecdote, for kicks.SkyPoo

hiya people :D you are all my favourites except josimar he is a right momo.
- kelpie0
Does josimar still lurk, is that why you keep calling him a homo/tool/etc etc?
- chossy0
Aye he does matey face, he is just very busy at work so he can't come up with any good responses, but he phones me and calls me a cunt every so often, to let me know he cares. When I say at work I obviously mean on his knees sucking boabies like there isnae a tomorrow.

Hey spooks, next time you're in making a coffee, throw people off. They think you're anti-social, prove you're not. Barge into the room and say, loudly, 'Any of you bag of cunts fancy a brew?'
Its polite and cheeky at the same time, you'll be onto a winner.

I think spooky has a problem in which there is no solution, on one hand he hates the motherfuckers and on the other hand he would like them to think of him as a friend, I think you can't have both, you can however compromise you have to accept their annoying features to a degree and they have to accept your faults, if they can't then throw filthy hot coffee on people.
- HAHAHAHA. You're right of course. I would like some interaction, but only if it offered variety.SkyPoo

- chossy0
I fucking love that bear picture, two pals pure walking about the woods no carin. about fuck all except pure eating berries and fish and scraping around logs no ken'in what they will find underneath them. Until they become older and they get the mad horn on and pure have to fight each other to get the best bear pussy nanny tang!!! I'm going to write a story about it and call it, 'hairy friends the smooth times yo'
