Work mate reminds friend of applying emoti-block

After discussing an unpleasant experience with a friend, work mate reminded her to always put on emoti-block everyday instead of occasionally. Emoti-block: just like sun block, but for emotions. Directions: Apply generously, and for external purposes only. It should keep away all the grating urges to slap people and just slide off like water from a duck's behind. Some days may require more applications than others.

Voice and sound effects for new product reminds employees of creepy horror movie

Employees sitting next to lunch room relieved that the voice used for a new product lunch ad was not that of a screeching banshee, making the ad a lot more manageable to deal with as it plays over and over every few minutes. Yet, promo for new product freaks out employees by it sounding like the kind of ghostly whisper shouting warning voice usually heard in horror movies. Employee who sits next to lunch room expecting promo voice over to whisper shout “get out” at any given moment. As with horror movies, employee has decided to drown out and ignore creepy voice by popping on headphones to make it "go away". Other employees have nearly had accidents when the promo voice comes on, which is introduced by a creepy static sound, also usually found in spooky movies.

Employee gets degraded from colleague status to stalking status

After calling and leaving several messages on a colleague’s voice-mail and email, walking by and peering in window, stalking employee reverted to calling the employee who sits across from stalked colleague’s office to find out if she was in her office. Employee taking call from stalker was very tempted to respond by staying that stalked colleague is actually hiding behind the door only to see if stalker employee would go check stalked colleague’s office window again and/or say that she did notice woman in office looked at the phone a few times when it rang and blatantly didn't answer before taking her hiding position. Stalker continues to peer through window and stand in front of it for minutes at a time before moving on to attempt work.

Late summer also seems to be dirty old man season

While at a birthday party for father, one of parent's long time friends tries to backpedal from back handed complement to straight out awkward and inappropriate comment about how his daughter looks really good in all the right places. After feeling like needing to be scrubbed down in a radiation booth, woman turns on heels, makes face like she might be sick, and walks away. In other inappropriate old man news, woman has to tell old man in a line up that he's gotten close enough as he kept encroaching on her space despite line not moving. Old dude, you're not getting any further in any shape or form. Old man gave woman some ignorant line about lining up at Canada's Wonderland. Old dude, you were not at Canada's Wonderland, you were not getting any further, and that was not a line to get on a ride.

Friends survive eating at a dodgy fast food hamburger place known for something else

As part of a gala evening, two friends decide to be adventurous by eating at a dodgy hamburger joint. Next day one friend realizes that the name suggested wasn't just made up on the spot, but actually known as Hooker Harvey's. As there didn't seem to be any hookers there that night, it was more like Hangover Harvey's. Either way, the sandwiches they ate were actually pretty good and they didn't get sick. That might explain the somewhat confused look on the employee's faces when the friends actually ordered food; actual legitimate customers. It would be interesting if that location had shirts that read "We actually ate at Hooker Harvey's ... and didn't get sick".

Neighbour of annoyingly noisy, smelly couple decides to take to rubber walls

In an effort to maintain some serenity, neighbour of annoying loud, smelly couple decides to try putting up rubber on her shared wall in an attempt to buffer noise pollution coming into her apartment because she would prefer to hear her own TV over the neighbour's mega TV sound system. It's pretty distracting while watching something like So You Think You Can Dance to have it interrupted by explosions and gun fire. You know it's just not in the show. While it buffered somewhat, not all of the wall was covered in rubber. However it seems, the more rubber on the wall, the more serenity.
