Workplace Hates

I am amazed what some people get up to at their desks in work.
One lady seems to do her whole beauty routine without having to go to the ladies room.
Anti Perspirant, make-up and hairspray are all applied from the comfort of her desk.

We need a "Hughie" emoticon.

jodie,

The one good thing is at least the Anti Perspirant goes on in such a way I don't have to see any bare flesh.
She sort of sprays it up the inside of her top.

Aye but still... we all know that deodorising at work is shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted

My attention has been drawn once again to the fact that I have clearly led a sheltered life.

I might be wrong about this but aren't anti perspirants and deodorisers different things?

Anti perspirants block the pores to stop perspiration getting out. Deodorisers mask the smell if that sweat isn't washed off reasonably quickly.

People perspire for a very good reason. Stopping that happening probably isn't a smart move.

Is she one of those going through "the change" and lets everyone know it?

What counts her money as well ! - has this woman no shame

[BrigitDoon]

There's a bus that stops outside my window every ten minutes* and about this time of the morning I expect to see them in there putting on their slap. It begs the question, what state did they leave the house in? Why bother putting it on in the bus? Why bother at all? I didn't grow up with this girlie nonsense and very few of the women in my family play with the stuff. Think of all that money I haven't wasted.

It's either gilding the lily or clutching at straws. I prefer to wear my ugliness on the outside. It means I get the bench to myself on the bus.

(*obviously not the same one. )

Guy takes his wife into casualty. She's got 2 black eyes, a fat lip and a broken nose. The doctor asks how she got her injuries, the guy explained that she was going through the change. "Going through the change doesn't cause injuries like that." "It does when the change is in my fucking' pockets."


*I'm here all week*

Fat Cat,
The lady in question is young and a long way off from this stage of her life.

Bridie,
As for cash she came back from lunch recently have spent nearly £80.00 on toiletries.


Getting back to question of Anti-Perspirant v Deodorants.
I prefer anti-perspirants myself as I don't want to run risk of having wet underarms.
At the end of the day I suppose it is an individual thing.

I see that on the train every day, i always hope and pray that as we hit greenhill junction at 100mph (for those who dont know this place, its where the edinburgh line and the line north seperate), the lipstick ends up half way up their face, sadly not seen that yet!!

[Dot]

Fat Cat,

You are quite right.
It's a known fact that men perspire and women just 'glow'.

Do you really want to see some auld doll getting off the train looking like 'The Joker'?

I remember years ago, driving into work and the woman in the car behind was applying her make-up. I could see in the rear view that she was hardly paying attention to the road. She was getting a bit close, so I speeded up. We didn't go very far before I spied a tractor about to pull out of a field as it always did at that time of the morning. I applied the brakes to let the farmer out and the woman behind woke up a moment too late and pranged it into the wall. She needn't have bothered with the make-up after all - her face had turned a gentle shade of beetroot.
