Sheffield workers recognition while drunk

[monkey104]

Have a load of teenage girls got hold of your SF password?

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?

 

Its sad that you think that you have to avoid a fellow co-worker just cos your "mates" think he is a worthy person to be made fun of ! Be the bigger man and avoid peer pressure to do be rude

Are there many Ork's in the Pacific?

 

"They are semi-solitary animals, being more mobile in December month for some reason ... they can swim in small packs but they move in very tight-knit units in familiar territories ... Upon seeing other "ork" units out and about they are liable to unpredictable behaviour ranging from sniffing (can they sniff under the sea?), loud unearthly sounds, to extreme unprovoked violence for perceived slights when staring too long at an opposing group ... It is not safe for other oceanic fish to be in the area at the time in case they are caught in the cross-fire ... another peculiar fact about the orks is that they love CORAL , although failing that they have been known to congregate nearer the shore in what are known as LAD BROOKS or even feast on green "PADDY" plankton at a push if other food is scarce"

Last time I checked smiles and greetings were totally free. Have I missed something? Why are you even agonising over this?. Say hello and move on! How much more awkward will it be when he/she becomes your boss after years of the cold shoulder.

I would never expect that some people find just a nod or hello awkward.

[ECCOnoob]

Me neither.

 

Has the OP actually tried talking to these people in these social settings. They are supposed to be his work colleagues after all.

 

Where I work there are 450 people in my building. I walk past people on corridors and in lifts and never a word is said for months.

 

However, if one smiled or came over to me on a night out in a pub I would of course talk to them. That's how you get to know people!!

 

Nothing awkward about it.

[Starlc]

Some people dont want to get to know others and prefer to be left alone.

Poor guy , the OP ,obviously was at the back of the class wearing a blindfold when they were giving out people skills because he has zero amount . Time to go back to school & get some because it sounds like he needs to learn how to get on with folk & stop being such a child

I have known quite a few work colleagues who resort to fisticuffs when drunk on xmas nights out, be careful who you mug off in the workplace

I do hope you're not a typist?
