Annoying female coworker conversations

I did have to look that one up, I thought it was some kind of shoes.....wow....who spends money on something like that?!

I actually had to look that one up too. My idea was that maybe they were some sort of collectible figurine characters, sort of like Hummels or Bobble-Heads. Merkins???Pubic wigs??? Really??? You gotta be kidding me! To the OP: I've been in situations like that where I quietly think to myself "If I listen to much more of this, my IQ is going to drop by 30 points". At that point I just quietly excuse myself and say something like " I've gotta go and check on patient so-and-so, I'll be back in a bit"

I think that was a *tad* harsh. I'm just saying, when you hear about the same old thing multiple times a day, everyday, it gets a little old. Just looking for a light hearted conversation here, nothing more!
Thank you for your opinion!

I agree with you

What an odd thing to say. "If you didnt want to listen to woman-chatter all day, why pick this profession". Was the decision to become a nurse based on what kind of day to day conversations the op would be subjected to ? What's the solution here ? Switch professions because this is gonna be just part of The job? What a load.

Go to the the general section of this forum and say " I was going to be a nurse, but I didn't want to Listen to women converse about things I didn't care about all day"

& See how quickly youd get ripped apart.

With that said op, I feel you. I worked in a setting where all I heard all day were my women coworkers (I was often the only male working) talk about diets theyre trying, recipes, losing weight, and the occasional gossip. It became mind numbing after 12 hours, but as previously suggested numerous times, just take 5 to yourself away from the mindlessness.

Did you hear that Golden Tate is leaving the Seahawks and going to Detroit? What in the world is wrong with him? It's greed, that's what it is.

I live into Detroit... why anybody would come here is beyond me.

Love hockey. Playing taught me teamwork, to keep my head up and that there are consequences to actions.

So, for the past few weeks I've been looking for a replacement lockset for my 20 year old garage door. Got a good Schlage at Menards at a good price

Grade 1 on the deadbolt, Grade 2 on the handle lock...for $40!

Don't save a few bucks on a Grade 3... Not worth it at all.

Anybody want to swap lock installation stories? :woot:

Got a couple of stories basically involving measuring once so I could cut twice.
