Do you socialise with work colleagues?

Do you socialise with work colleagues?

Post by goonersid »

I never socialise with people I work with, I just don't understand why anyone would want to spend their free time with people they already spend 8 hours a day with. Add to that the fact that I can't fucking abide most of the lazy useless bastards.

I work in a large open-plan office with people whos ages ranging from mid-20s to mid-50s, male and female, but, during the day I'm only in regular contact with 5 or 6. There are some I'd love to go out for a beer with but othere that I'd cross a motorway to avoid, complete and utter *word censored*. Our problem is that we can't organise a night out because everyone would have to be invited (poxy office polotics!).

So to answer your question, no, but I wouldn't mind going for a few beers with a few of them but not regularly.

Try to avoid it as much as possible.

"Let's go for drinks after work!" :roll: No thanks.

:lol: So you're quite happy in your job then Sid? :lol:

I see your point, though. I wouldn't want to spend my social time with workmates.

But, in my younger years, I used to really like socialising with work colleagues. Male and female. Some are still friends to this day.

I even married one of them.

I work with a top bunch of guys, there are a select few who are absolute *word censored* who I cannot stand though. We usually go for a little bevvy on Fridays but thats only because we finish at 1. There is no way I'd go and socialise with them in the night unless it was for dogging purposes.

Everyone in my department get on like a house on fire really, like a big family, it's really cool.

But we range from 25 to 62, and are all very independent people with our own lives and families, so we don't socialise.

Who wants to talk about work if you're not being paid for it anyway?? :?
