Women talk too much
I am sitting at work in my cubicle trying to study. I am surrounded by women who constantly talk about pointless crap! They talk about baby names, their kids, and other crap that I could care less about. Please help... I got earplugs but they are not helping.

LOL - An IPOD with ear phones does wonders. Or, call your friends and talk about the brunette you conquered over the weekend

Get a spray bottle that has a fine mist spray. Start fake sneezing and misting the spray over the cubicle. Apologize. Repeat. Apologize. Repeat. They'll leave soon enough.

Be careful with this one -- depending on the company, that could be considered harrassment.

You've never met my wife, have you?
We were at a car show a few years ago when passenger side air bags were an option....we got into a truck and the driver's side visor had this sign that said "Air bag on Passenger side." I read that out loud and looked over to Wifezilla and said, "Yup, she's there."
Some of the of the people checking over th truck just busted out rolling on the floor. Wifezilla was not amused.

At our job we actually took a sexual harrasment training. From the training we found out that it is harrasment if the behaviour is constant or repeated, but not if there was a singular indescretion. Anyways, I had a winky on the end, and I don't actually believe someone would do that.
It'd probably be safer just to eat a lot of beans and let your bodily functions do the work for you

HA! I took that class a couple weeks ago!
I brought my IPod today, definitley helps. It is hard to read and listen to it at the same time though.
I am going to get a large chili at Wendy's today, in hopes of sweet revenge...

In our company, it's required training every year. The basic gist is that if it's interpreted as harrassment, then you could be in trouble. Better to keep quiet and find other ways -- like the chili.

Not sure about you, but even with the chili it won't be quiet!

LOL, I work in the IT field so its mostly guys that work here. Periodically, I wish we did have an injection of estrogen because looking at a bunch of yahoos at work isn't very entertaining.

Well, if I'm not traveling then I'm working at home. So I don't have to put up with anything like that. I only go into the local office every 6 months or so.
