   It's true
  When you leave the room, people talk about you.I've noticed that everybody does it to everybody, so I can only assume that when I get up from my seat, people talk about me as well.I've decided to no longer join in.Who's with me?   
  I'm not going to join you. In fact, I'm going to go to a chat room and talk about you right now.There's no one to blame for this but yourself, so don't get upset with me.   ;  That is probably true. However, Living with 40 other guys teaches you something. Everyone is always joking around and making fun of each other, so you tend to develop a thick skin. You realize that people are rarely serious, and if they are, revenge is always quite fun.   ;Quote:Original post by ChemicalImbalanceWhen you leave the room, people talk about you.I've noticed that everybody does it to everybody, so I can only assume that when I get up from my seat, people talk about me as well.I've decided to no longer join in.Who's with me?I tried it, it doesn't work very well because then YOU are the one who is different and will be ostracized.  Otherwise, that type of thing is a function of the maturity of the people you tend to hang around.  Nowadays they guy who does that alot is a known jack ass where I work.  YMMV...;  Just do what I do, say "hmmm ok".This phrase oozes indifference and offers dissapointment to the average gossiper.   ;  In my group of friends doesnt talk about others when anyone of them leaves (I know because when someone who is not me leaves, we dont gossip).  Although I suppose they could only talk about be behind my back.   ;  Whats the big deal. People have to entertain themselves. Besides who says they are only talking bad about you.   ;  I talk about people to their faces. Ooh, mister sensitive doesn't like being called an idiot to his face? WELL MAYBE HE SHOULD STOP BEING AN IDIOT! I wonder why people don't like me? Idiots[wink]   ;  We do that extensively. Always so loud that the newly left one will hear it. Though we know it's only for fun..   ;Quote:Original post by jsgcdudeQuote:Original post by ChemicalImbalanceWhen you leave the room, people talk about you.I've noticed that everybody does it to everybody, so I can only assume that when I get up from my seat, people talk about me as well.I've decided to no longer join in.Who's with me?I tried it, it doesn't work very well because then YOU are the one who is different and will be ostracized.

YMMV...I want to know where you work.  I know grown men and women clear into their forties who'd love to hear every last detail of one's life, particularly the sexual ones, and not necessarily from the said person.  It drives me nuts but sometimes you just have to go with it.
