One of them has to be Game of Thrones, and another is anime.

All of them are directly related to consuming media, though.

What's my prize?

He is out searching for a job, and only smokes cigarettes. Bad enough around the kid, but the mother is definitely the worse of the two in this story. She's neglecting the gently caress outta that baby.

Yeah and he contributes nothing to the house except watching the kid which I doubt he's really involved in. Did you see the part about him not doing any of the housework as well? They're both leeches and shouldn't have kids.

I just hate having to invent imaginary people to talk to when I when I want to have a thought-provoking discussion.

Nah I guess I believe her story now, if she was willing to take it to her boss and her coworker isn't using the obvious defense of 'but we DID gently caress'.

It's still a completely unbelievable story lady don't get mad because what happened to you is insanely unlikely.

If she was at a work party with other coworkers I don't really get why she didn't mention the numerous witnesses or ask any of them to intercede the first time around, but w/e

I remember there was a kid on SA who complained he was too smart and mature for his age group. One of the examples of how smart and mature he was that he gave was having read Das Kapital several times.

I'm going to guess it's that.

Honestly I can't make too much fun of dudes like this because I did it myself. :shrug:

In hindsight I should have probably lowered my standards to something less impossible (maybe I would have had more fun) but I did find my match eventually. Being with somebody who shares a lot of interests and has a very complimentary personality to your own is a good thing, it's just probably not something that is going to fall into your lap, especially if your list of interests is a bunch of nerd poo poo in completely male dominated hobbies

[Update] An rear end in a top hat coworker [m?] sentmy [36 F] husband [39M] an inflammatory text at a work even

u/Workpartythrowaway777d

Original post: /r/relationships/comments/5oudfe/an_asshole_coworker_m_sent_my_36f_husband_39m_an/

I spoke to my boss first thing weds morning and told him what happened. While he was not at the bar he knew about the event. Later in the morning he spoke to rear end in a top hat coworker and didn't hear anything else during the workday.

I also told a friend at work what happened. She was there and can vouch for me being at the bar. Without me asking she decided get rear end in a top hat coworker on a conference line and called my husband and had rear end in a top hat apologize for what he did. I don't know exactly what was said and had no idea this call had been made until I got home later in the evening.

My husband gave me a big hug when I arrived and told me about the call. He said that throughout the day he had already come to the conclusion that it was a poo poo prank by a drunk rear end in a top hat. As someone touched on in the comments, the idea that someone I was cheating with would send that text was so absurd that it must have been a prank. He said the call was helpful, but warned me he laid into rear end in a top hat pretty good telling him what turmoil he caused and straight up told the guy to "stay as far away from his wife as professionally possible" or he would make sure his career is impacted.

We talked for hours and he reinforced some expectations going forward. Simple stuff like giving him a heads up if I'm late (he will do the same), pass protecting my phone and generally keeping on guard around people in general.

I think we're about 95% back to normal. This week was kind of a shock and I think we're both a little fatigued from all the drama and plan to spend the entire weekend together.

I'm at work and there's no conflict. He's here but no direct apology yet. But the day is young an honestly I don't care to have any contact with this guy in the future.

Sorry I didn't respond more to the original thread but it kind of turned into a poo poo show of picking apart my "alibi". It agree did look odd that I didn't realize the time or didn't look at my phone for 3 hours as some claimed. I did have an idea about the time. I did look at my phone during the evening. But didn't think to check in because during that time I felt like I was always "on my way out". I dropped my phone in the table at some point before the text and moved to another table to chat up a few coworkers and say goodbye. I got distracted and didn't get to my phone until after the text had been sent. At 8pm I know I should have checked in but it skipped my mind.

Thanks for those who voiced their opinions about not having a cellphone strapped to your body every minute of the day. I am pretty notorious for putting it in my purse and missing half the calls I receive.

Also, I think the next time we meet for drinks after work Inam going to invite my husband. He is very social and talkative and woukd get along with everyone for sure.

Tl;dr: I think it's all good. Husband has been assured nothing happens and the coworker probably got it into his head what a poo poo thing he did.

This still sounds like a lie. Feels like she used reddit to fill in some holes in her original story.
