My daddy ate my eyes

Never date who you're working with, it's too much drama. Of course I'm in med school and everyone dates or bangs each other and I just try to avoid it all.

honestly if both people can be adults about it officing dating isnt bad, however if they cant it will be a drama only your co-workers friends can enjoy (as they hear the story unfold 2nd hand).

This is why I cant date a coworker

after breakup

her, hey mr F I need you to review the report you submitted for errors.

me, hey bitz I farked you in pooper.

How badly do you need a job?

Chances are, you've gotten it on with a colleague. According to a 2009 survey by the job search Web site CareerBuilder.com, four out of 10 workers say they've dated a colleague at some point in their careers.

Last time I checked, 40% did not equal to a majority.

Dumbass, get in there and hit it!

No thanks. I'm picky on who's going to tap me.

Only rule you need: Don't get your honey where you get your money.

And fewer workers are keeping their romances secret. CareerBuilder found that 72% of workers who have office relationships are public with them, compared with 46% five years ago.

Hmmm... what cultural influence appeared in the U.S. around five years ago that would have spurred a trend of allowing office romances to be in vogue, if not altogether sought-after?

Never date inside the company unless you're a contractor.

Haaaaahaaaa! Suck it!

Met my wife 17 years ago at work, married her 15 years ago, still work with her, still happy.

Don't fish off the company pier.

Don't farking do it!!!!

Be Attractive


Don't Be Unattractive

I never dated at work because I don't enjoy talking about work outside of work.

I made the mistake of dating a co-worker, never again.

We were stuck at work late, it was Valentines day, and we decided that we could get away with having a little romp in a secluded area. The next day we were both fired.

Who knew Chuck E. Cheese was wired for CCTV. It took them all day to wash the ball in the ball crawl.

I should have known she was trouble when I was humming, "Science Fiction Double Feature" from Rocky Horror Picture Show and she started singing along to it.

I pretty much agree with the story. My only experience with dating someone who worked for the same company wasn't too bad, but only because we worked at different sites, let alone different departments, so I didn't have to see her after it ended.

/married now, quite happily
//found girl who's more geeky than I am

It's fine until she asks you to pee on her:

Show us your Marx: And I'm not homophobic, all right.

No, you're not. You're just full of the stoopid.

Gramma: Only rule you need: Don't get your honey where you get your money.

Ooh, cool, I want to try.

Don't find your squeeze where you make your gees.
Don't look for wham-bams where you earn your clams.
Don't look for action where you make your Jacksons.
Don't bag a ho where you make your dough.

Give me a few minutes and I should be able to come up with something that rhymes with "bucks."

Ya know, I started to ascribe to this ideology when I moved to a new company years ago. A new training class came in with two different girls. One of them being about the most gorgeous woman I've ever worked with and the other being her friend and also cute as all hell.

I intentionally avoided them in an attempt to stay by my mantra, despite them initiating contact with me and throwin me the googly eyes here and there....

I don't work there anymore. I've regretted that decision ever since. Had I known I'd feel this way I would have tried to bang them both silly.

Office romance is like shiatting on your own doorstep.I've had loads of offers here, but I go, "No way, distracting."And that's actually one of the major arguments against letting gay men into the army. And no, I haven't got a problem with that, you know, a gay man is not going to put me off. I can handle myself. But, if we're in battle is he going to be looking at the enemy or is he going to be looking at me going, "Ooo," you know, "He looks tasty in his uniform."And I'm not homophobic, all right. Come around, look at my CD collection. You'll find Queen, George Michael, Pet Shop Boys, ... They're all bummers.

You sound flamingly gay, and God love you for it.

You probably look sexy in a uniform, too.

You bummer you.

The rule is DON'T.

EggFool: I dated a director at work when I was about 20 and he asked me if I could be cool at work. Of course, I replied. The very next time I saw him at work, as soon as he walked into our area, I blushed and somehow flung the file I was holding and he had to help me pick up all the papers.

Oh, I'm cool.

Smoooooth like butter.

*clicks profile* well yeah honey you can afford to be, you're smokin!

I've done it twice. Never ruined my life or anything, but it can be awkward. I agree with what was said above though. If you just want to get laid, pick someone up at the bar.

HowiPepper: Whew! I dated one lady I worked with before, and I'll never do that again.

Remember the old adage: "Don't get your meat where you make your bread". It really is true!

I always thought the old adage was "Don't shat were you eat". (new window)

I just jacked my throbstick to an episode of Bit Tits At Work™ so I tooootally get what you mean

Here it is:

Be Handsome...

Be Attractive...

and Don't Be Unattractive.

Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?

/If I'd known...

So, did she have a yeast infection or something?

Actually the Greeks has the reverse logic, it's well known that homosexuality was accepted on the greek battlefield, even though they had wives and were "straight", being gone for years at war. Their logic was that if you took a gay lover on the battlefield, you would fight harder beside them, protect them, and work more as a cohesive unit.

Back to the article - farking someone at work is pretty much a trap. My last office job, I wound up hooking up with this fat freaky girl, sex was okay, damn she could give great head though. The only real fun part was getting blown in the office bathroom, or having a quickie in the conference room. Outside of that it wasn't worth her constant nagging.

I hope you are being serious because that's awesome right there. I don't see why they had to wash every ball in the ball pit though just from someone farking in it... i mean every disease known to man is already in there from all those snot nosed kids.

I started dating the girl that worked for the chairman of the computer science department at college (I worked for the deputy chairman of the same department).

A few years later, we got married. We've worked together most of our careers, for the same company.

Next month, we'll be married 32 years.

If you can't separate your work life from your private life, don't do it. If you can, your life together will be full of win.

i love gareth so much.
