How Not to Be a Jerk #2

Life lessons inspired by true events. Here is today's How Not to be a Jerk.

#2 Know when your welcome is worn out.

If nobody answers you when you say good-bye it is because we are busy or more likely, we don't care. There is no need for you to wander all over the building calling out "good-bye everyone", "have a good night everybody" etc, etc, etc. Frankly we're happy to see the back of you. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out either. When one of our bosses, the bubbly, good natured one, is dropping f-bombs in regards to your annoyingness then you've got a real problem.

    f-bomb? Lamest colloquialism ever. For teabags only.

    Yeah, I don't use that one a lot. And, come on, like you guys don't have any lame colloquialisms.

    Also, did you just call me a teabag???

    Fuck that noise.

    Huh, I'm trying to think of something lame that Australians say a lot, but I can't think of anything... weird. There have to be some pretty dumb ones though.

    I have to agree with mark here. I am hard pressed to think of something aussies say that doesn't sound totally cool to me. Which may be part and parcel to being a "dumb american".

    You know, I think you're right. And even if they said something terribly lame it would probably be negated by the accent and still sound cool. Or at least cool to us.
