I spend a good part of my work day, battling wits with my best friend at work, James. He's a man whore and he likes to tell me stories with a lot of shock value. I tease him about his endless supply of women and he likes to tease me about things like, having no spine and taking people's Netflix down to the mail on time so that they can get their movies fast.
We also rag on each other because of our nationalities. I'm Samoan so he thinks it's funny to call me Tongan because he thinks that Samoans and Tongan's don't get along. I call him Mexican, because he's half Mexican. We always crack jokes about each other and I wonder if anyone who overhears us ragging on each other wonders if we're being serious or not. *shrugs* Oh well.
One of our favorite topics to speak on is another co worker of ours who has become my work buddy. We'll call her Too Cool. I've blogged about her before. She's the girl from this post. Too Cool likes to steer every single conversation around so that we're talking about her. It doesn't matter what we talk about, it's always gotta be about her.
She's one of those girls who call themselves a Fashionista and then comes to work dressed like she got ready in the dark but that's not what bothers me about this girl. Last week, I got into a "debate" with Too Cool about something or other. She kept going on and on about it and I kept telling her to stop being a hater. She wouldn't let it go so we just kept right on "debating".
We agreed to drop it and then maybe an hour later, she sends me an email with a link to a story from some website where they were talking about what we just agreed to stop talking about. I sent off one of those, mouth off emails and then forwarded it to James.
Here's what our emails looked like from then on.
Me: And she just keeps right on talking.
James: Yeah she is cause you're egging her on. Who cares what she thinks? Who care what anybody thinks? I’m sure you have better things to do with your Tongan time (make a canoe, climb pineapple trees, whale ride) then write an essay on how you feel about how she feels about some douche bags.
Me: Yeah right, I’m not egging shit on. I just want her to shut up about it so I said my piece and left it at that.
James: Look BEST FRIEND….I don’t know how it works in Fiji but in America if you want someone to shut up then you don’t engage in a debate. Just stop talking to them.
LMAO.
He said, make a canoe, climb pineapple trees and whale ride. I about peed my pants when I read that. He got me good and just for the record, I've never made a canoe or ridden a whale either.
