If you walk around work looking mad all the time people think you’re busy and leave you alone. Win win.

[–] Tier1BuildABear@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Ah, yes, the Costanza method

I see you, my rbf brother.

Some people just don't know how to start a conversation and will say anything that comes to their head.

[–] li10@feddit.uk 22 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Or, they’ll be like the OP and just ignore a new coworker entirely and never even say hello, which is also kinda rude and makes people think you’re mad all the time.

maybe they're introverted and want to avoid small talk? can't blame them

Or maybe they have no opportunity to interact with the new coworker.

[–] meliaesc@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

She took an opportunity to walk by, OP could have done that on the first day.

[–] HorseWithNoName@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

I mean, she also apparently hadn't said anything up to that point.

[–] MindSkipperBro12@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Maybe because I don’t have to meet and greet every person in the building?

[–] H1jAcK@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Because I'm angry all the time

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago

Maybe some case of resting bitch face?

[–] fauxerious@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago

some people are just really good at masking

[–] sverit@feddit.de 19 points 10 months ago

"I hate it here"

[–] boatsnhos931@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago

You are supposed to say why do you look so sexy all the time you creeper

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago (2 children)

A lot of people in here are the weirdos at work, it seems. Just say hello to new people and get it over with. Actually, you dont even need to say hello. Just not and smile.

Correct 👍

Narcissistic will NEVER give up conceding any irrelevance of their ego.

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

I can’t imagine saying that to somebody, not unless I knew they were going to take it ok. If he really looks mad all the time and I don’t know him, I’m going to assume anger issues and probably not try to provoke them. But if they look like that all the time and I personally know that they’re nothing like that, I guess I could raise it up with them after a long time.

In this case though it doesn’t sound like she knew him, so kinda weird. I guess some people just don’t care and just say whatever’s on their mind when it pops in.

I think they just both have different types of autism

[–] seth@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

This would be a green flag for me to red flag myself by pusilanimously oversharing.

Rare 'zellig gemerald on the lemmy

[–] ParsnipWitch@feddit.de 4 points 10 months ago

Next time with Anon: "Never does anybody talk to me or show any interest in me! Also people discriminate against me, just because I am awkward in conversations!"

[–] Fleur__@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

girl asks him why he's mad, he gets mad. You were played son

[–] Supervisor194@lemmy.world -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Any girl who would take the initiative to say something like this to a guy is into him. If she wasn't, she wouldn't have been vocal about it, she would have just properly avoided him.

[–] Star@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 months ago

Absolutely not. Women are people the same way men are. We ask stupid questions that we didn't think through purely out of curiosity, and then realize how rude it was on the drive home just like you do.

She may be, but if she is, that's a godawful opener. I have 0 rizz but something like 'I like your shoes' or w/e is never hard to pull.

[–] ntma@lemm.ee -1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

A coworker of mine said something similar. I keyed his car.

[–] OmegaII@feddit.nl 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Real big of you. You must be the most confident person ever to do something shitty like that... Just telling the person you didn't like the comment or the tone it was told to you would've sufficed.

[–] 257m@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

I am like 90% sure the other guy was joking.

[–] Something_Complex@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Or you could try words. Hell be mean, but that feels like an unecessary escalation.

You could have literally said anything, anything. (As long as HR isn't involved)
