Banter RDT 173 - Stupid Americans think wrestling is real

[Ambrose Burnside]

Not if you like the smell of refineries.

Or the smell of people who live in Kwinana.

Unwise. Remember: if you're close enough to smell them, they're close enough to stab you.

I feel like you’re underestimating how pervasive the smell is.

 

[Truckosaurus]

There's a homeless guy who wanders through Belmont Forum. I want to feel sorry for him (and do), but his smell has a physical presence. He could have walked past 5 minutes ago and you can still feel it on your skin when you walk across his path.

 

[Truckosaurus]

He's also a Fremantle supporter.

Is it one of those smells you can taste?

 

[Ochre]

Easier working in the CBD to be fair, but I can't imagine anything worse than eating lunch at my desk. I need to get out the office for a bit otherwise I go insane.

It lodges in your mucous membranes (and clothes).

I’m having trouble reconciling these two statements.

You don't pity Fremantle supporters?

You don't pity Fremantle supporters?

I feel like they made a choice.

I do pity the younger ones, the way I pity kids brought up in a cult.

Ask him what he thinks of people taking photos of their meals and posting it on SM.

I think he really might have been eating a slice of plain multigrain while driving

Some fresh air and a nice stroll has to happen on lunch break, but given the choice I'll always take my desk over the lunch room. No interest in delaying my eating time with small talk with people I want nothing to do with.

But they never used to be allowed out, zap collars or similar I think it was!

Hear Hear.

Nothing worse than having to listen to co workers drama in the lunch room, even if you not in the conversation

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

I read a book, eat and can ignore it all

 

[Quinz]

Co worker drama is the best though.

 

[squashface]

I like to go outside to eat lunch but over here in the “nations capital” (wheeze) it’s far too cold to leave the office. Thankfully the break out spaces are big so I don’t have to interact with anyone.

He could be the product of multigenerational disadvantage... since 1995.

 

[Dazzler9]

My building used to have ping pong and pool tables. Used to be great for lunchbreaks. Spend an hour of pong/pool, then go back to my desk to eat lunch.

These days, I only use the breakout room if Test cricket is on the telly. Otherwise I'm eating my lunch at the desk, surfing the net. Like the rest of the day.

Being a belmont local im surprised i havent walk past smelly homeless dude in my travellings.

There is however, most days a homeless dude at the fulham/abernethy set of lights.
