Here are some of the stranger conversations I’ve had on this thing
BACKSTORY : This was the day they were going to announce the verdict on Babri Masjid. I was too busy to watch the news
4:53 PM ME:
Any News ?
4:54 PM RIDICULOUS COLLEAGUE
No idea. If they’re giving it for some agricultural purpose then I am interested
If you’re wondering why this is strange, it’s because my job is literally the polar oppositie of farming. Except of course, if we were talking about something like wheat hedges.
BACKSTORY: This colleague is British. The role of ridiculous colleague is played by me.
1:45 PM RIDICULOUS COLLEAGUE (ME):

1:50 PM RIDICULOUS COLLEAGUE (ME):
Umm yeah. Or your shirt. You know ..whatever
1:52 PM RANDOM COLLEAGUE
Ahh. I think you mean trousers. Pants mean boxers in England.

BACKSTORY: Sometimes you get the feeling you’re being hit on but you can never really tell.
