AOL is used almost exclusively by grandmothers, prepubescent girls, and technologically illiterate housewives.

That's why it's funny.

Has this ever happened to you?



We have this exact same group in the break room at one of our buildings. All they do is sit around and make snide comments about men. It's annoying as hell, and just exposes their insecurities and programmed hatred of men. Man, they just build up off of each other in their saftey in numbers.

I'm thinking of trolling them myself.

There is that scene in that Tom Cruise "Show Me the Money," movie, Jerry McGuire, where there is a group of women like that.

I think we need SuperCitizen to fly here and have sex with these women.

I sure as hell am NOT going to hit it.

The nice thing for me is that Dolores complains about this type of women too. "They're horrible" she says. "Why they hate their men, are the stupid?" "Yes dear", I say with a smile.

Troll and counter troll - one of my favourite games . Why not "accidentally" print out this thread and just leave it lying around ? That should escalate it .

The trick is to keep the game balanced , and seesawing - you win most of the times , they win just enough to keep their hope alive . It's fun , try it .

In any case, men do their fair share of this kind of talk as well. but they actually mean it. So perhaps men are evil.

I've heard some pretty demeaning talk by men at break rooms before. Not by myself of course. Yes everyone considers me a mysoginist, but I treat women with respect.

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

As a manager I have to watch constantly what is being discussed and if I hear anything, due to the current laws, have to take action so as I dont allow an "atomosphere" of tolerance of the wrong activities.....

I would of course be very careful if you are in any sort of supervisory role, as any such comment, while being humorous and maybe not mentioned now, could say in 6 months come back to haunt you..when all of the sudden a member of the EEOC and a lawyer show up to discuss what has been done at the very acceptance of the management of that company..
