I'm the lone male in an office full of women. They constantly complain. "It's too hot." "It's too cold." "My yogurt is past date." " Why do we have to stay late today?" on an on.
I don't know what sort of response they want from me?
At first I was very literal. "You should have checked the date on the yogurt when you purchased it or eaten it that day. I've seen it in the fridge for over a month." Of course pointing out their illogic and poor choices never goes well.
For a while I played along like one of the girls and complained too. It's started to bring me down to their level so I butched up and just started grunting or not even responding. Then I get the pestering "Are you mad?" " Is something bothering you today?" " What's the matter, why aren't you talking to me?"
How can I spend eight hours a day with these whiners ,feel like a man but still grease the rails of social cohesion?
