Dealing with Loudmouths

Do you guys have annoying colleagues that don't know when to shut up? Or colleagues that acts macho and constantly display the "don't mess with me cos I am a huge ass macho man" attitude? Gosh... I don't know what is wrong with him but there is this guy who constantly trying to mess with me by spouting words to show his dominance or manliness. I really don't know how I should deal with it. I have always given the silent treatment to people who don't know when to shut up. I thought that by ignoring them and not responding to them, they would give up talking shit to me. It has worked on others but I just don't get why it didn't work on him. He prolly hated me for asking if his girlfriend is his older sister back when I first saw him eating with another girl at the cafeteria.

Rumour Has It

Rumour has it that I have a girlfriend. So I have been spending a lot of time with someone of the opposite sex. But when a guy and a girl spend a lot of time together, does it mean that they are a couple. I am truly astonished at the travel speed of rumours. So what if we have lunch together? So what if we have dinner together? So what if we go shopping together? So what if she grabs my arm for whatever reason? Isn't it normal for a fag and hag to commit such acts?

A surprise within another surprise

I officially passed my management trainee programme and was given best academic award. The more surprising part of the whole process was during the graduation, my trainer gave me an extra present which only I received. 2 self-help book on leadership. OMG... he was so cute when he passed it to me. He was so shy. It all happened when I walked into the hall. He came up to me and handed me a present. I blanked for a moment, then I asked him what was it for while taking it from his hands. He just shook his head and took a few steps backwards without uttering a word. From that awkwardly far distance I said thank you =.="
