I reckon every Uber driver I get wants to talk cricket. I'll allow it

I don't take Ubers too often but take them to Adelaide Oval during summer semi-regularly and I had to stop putting that I was going there and instead put somewhere close because the drivers would chat Cricket to me and then use it as a gateway to get talking about their personal lives.
Took an Uber to the airport a couple of weeks back, bloke was a retired truckie and he was just unbearable, thought his own jokes were hilarious (they weren't) and just couldn't take a hint that I was not interested in a chat. Give me a sub-continental person talking on the phone over that any day.
As for work Xmas Parties, just depends on work colleagues. Work in a great team at the moment so the party was quite enjoyable but wouldn't think twice about not attending if I couldn't stand them.
EXCEPTION: When asking if anyone has seen your elephant, upon the looks of confusion pull the pockets up and out of your trousers. They're your ears. Unzip and unlimber. That's your trunk. Make elephant noises.
Have another beer.
Another mutation? Hopefully they are getting weaker.
Had ours last night, plenty of beers and red and Japanese food, good fun. Got a wireless charger as a present, they usually get better but it hasn't been a great year for us unfortunately.

I was listening to a podcast yesterday who suggested that, as part of the Festivus airing of grievances, work Christmas parties should designate a corner with a boxing ring where you can sort out your grievances from the previous year with any colleagues.
Goddamn that's an excellent idea. It would've been enough to keep me in my last job if I could've towelled up my boss once a year.
