Sheffield workers recognition while drunk

[ohmyword]

This is a query I have got and hopefully you people can help me out. OK so it’s about people what you work with (I work in a office in that bit near CITY CENTRE that juts off Derrick Dooly Way). Pacifically, it’s about when you see those ‘co-workers’ when your drunk off your head / out of the working environment. It’s weird when you think about it. I’ve seen these people I work with out down town drinking beer and that and they’ve done like a nod to me and some have said hello. Now that’d be OK if it was people what I worked with but it’s just random people what recognise me. WE WOULDN’T EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE EACH OTHER AT WORK!! But because it’s out of work and they’re drunk they feel like they’ve got the right to make contact now. Even happened other week in OLD MONK PUB but it was kind of my fault that time. I saw a man I recognised and automatically started to nod and smile to say “hello there”, but then I realised it was a person me and my friends slag off so luckily I managed to twist the shape of my face round so my developing smile actually turned into a vicious grimace face thing. Then I looked away.

 

How do you people deal with these orkward situations?

I either don't get into them in the first place, or just don't respond, when you're out (especially if they are drunk) you have no guarantee they are looking at you or even nodding to you, in a crowded pub you could easily miss it aswell...

 

And if they are that drunk, they won't mind and probably won't remember in the morning any way...

Love it! The forum posting equivalent of Les Dawson's piano playing.

Buy them a drink you tight get. They have to put up with your babbling all day at work, the least you can do is treat them to a pint.

sweet ninja chop to the neck normally sorts the situation out

Thanks friends. OK so based on what you've said I should do the following things

 

Ignore them

Buy them a drink

Do some Ninja moves on their faces

 

I'm staying in this weekend anyway cos I wasted about £372 on online bingo on Wednesday so the feeling I've got is what's known in the game as 'skint and brassicked'. Next week though I'll be hitting the towns.

Oh My word,

you have mentioned that you would prefer the passive approach;

 

. Pacifically, it’s about..

 

...so I'd advise that you don't try to punch or kick them and you will be ok.

This sounds similar to another thread of yours !!!

 

Here’s something that has been bothering me for a while and it’s basically about the right time to blank someone. OK, so you know that sometimes a person sees you and you try and say hello but they just walk on by and not even accept that you’re even there? Well that’s what I want to do to some people now but at the workplace environment. I work for a place and have done for about a year now. At first there was people that started as the same time as me and so at first we did the whole “hello and how are you?” rubbish what you got to do to be polite. This dragged on a few months even though we got our own mates now but for some weird reason we kind of keep doing nods and hellos when we see each other. Thing is though, it’s so obvious that no one wants to bother. Times have changed.

 

So the advice I want is this – how do I make a clean break? Basically when is it OK to no longer accept someone is even there? When is it OK to just blank these people?
