What's your take on this situation?

Posted by nubby, Astro-lord, koozie aficionado (aka nubby) Apr 16 '13, 09:04

Colleague A is doing lunges down the hall, and turns and does lunges into my office, and says, "I'm going to do my exercises into Bunton's office." I give her a look like, what are you doing, and she says, "Bunton looks like he's scared!"
Colleague B, watching the whole thing, then says, "Bunton looks like he's scared of *any* exercises!"

Level of offense to be taken?

In a work setting, that's uncalled for. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 16, 09:05 8

        yep ... I would mentally file it away and as someone else posted - just wait and bide my time. - JenBro Apr 16, 09:17
- Well, our work setting is quite informal. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord, koozie aficionado Apr 16, 09:06 2
  - informal enough for you to tell him STFU? cause that was very rude. - Epiphany Apr 16, 09:09
  - Still. Unless B is someone I know socially outside work, I'd be annoyed. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 16, 09:07
