Things you hear in work
Discussion
A guy who sits opposite me is on the phone to his partner (female).
At least 4-5 x a day checking up on her / their baby.
He also pay's all his bills / mortgage woe's / car problems all over the phone!
He did the same when he was buying his house!
He only works 4 days a week so why he can't do it on a friday when he's at home i'll never know!

Conversations like that just annoy me, as do the conversations in our office between the 34yr old virginal star trek/wars/sci fi fan and his best work mate, the balding overweight mysoginist, who spend the day shouting BBC comedy and scifi catchphrases at each other.
Thank god for headphones.

Marf, you don't work in IT do you? They sound like IT geeks to me!
No fun and excitement here apart from our engineer has decided to blame the factory in Germany for breakages on a tool he developed using some off the shelf parts. The bits that break are made by the factory but when used for their original purpose they're absolutely fine. So basically its his tool thats the problem. And for some reason he can't see this.
There's others but I'll be here all day and I've got work to do...

Busted.
Not strictly a work conversation but I had it while at work so maybe it counts.
I called a certain nautically themed insurance company and asked them what their cancellation charges where. The lady asked me if I was already insured by them and I said no. She then told me there was no way she could tell me what my insurance cancellation charges were as my policy was not with them!

Nope, but they do fit the profile!He also has a speaking Darth Vader mug and a light saber torch on his desk which he repeatedly, and "accidentally", sets off at random intervals during the day.
