Does anyone else have a work colleague like mine.......?

[icemaiden]

They go on and on and on and on about how great their child/children are at activities.

My Charlie did this and my Charlie did that and he was the best there and he is going to be a professional footballer one day blah blah blah blah....

I have a daughter who has her talents but I don't go round boring the life out of other people going on about it!

I am sooooo fed up with it. It's getting soooo hard now to look remotely interested.

Am I the only one?

Am I?

[icemaiden]

It's only myself and this woman in the office most of the time so unfortunately she has no-one else to do it with.

Princess Prissy Pants!! LOL Will have to think up a name for my pain in the butt.

Pa_ul, I almost pebble dashed the screen with my lunch, thanks!!:p

I have one of those colleagues too, it's so annoyingly boring.

[mccfluff]

its certainly entertaining at times, only jase and matt have kids and neither of them can be arsed to about them

[Ric.ror]

I dont tell anyone here any of my buisness any more - I moved house once during a break and did not tell them!
As someone once said 'tell them nothing let them buy a programme'

[icemaiden]

I'm exactly the same ric.ror.

I bought to crossbred puppies two years ago and never told her or anyone else in the office. She has two pedigree dogs and again she goes on about how good they are.

The funny part is my two when they were puppies went to a fun dog show. Came back with four rosettes! 1st, 2nd and two 3rds! Hers havent won anything. I secretly felt very smug.

No icemaiden you're not alone. It's intensely irritating- why is it that so many people who have kids/grandkids think we want to hear about their offspring? Ditto that for women and their pregnancies. Also boring.

"I dont tell anyone here any of my buisness any more - I moved house once during a break and did not tell them!"

I agree, I rarely divulge

[Noraq]

No Icemaiden, you are not the only one. =)

[icemaiden]

So it would seem Noraq.

I agree BettyNoir. Womens pregnancies, also boring! Even my own pregnancy was boring!

[BettyNoir]

LOL I'm sure it wasn't, Icemaiden. It's just that pregancies are a bit...icky...and you don't want to be hearing about people's inner workings when you're trying to enjoy a pack of jammy dodgers at elevenses
