Let's bitch about our stupid, annoying co-workers

OK, weird question, but it's coworker-related so here we go. Back in high school or whatever, someone told me that women who crossed their legs and bounced them up and down were essentially masturbating. How true is this? There is someone in my office who does this constantly through every meeting. I work in an office full of women, but only one person does this. How grossed out should I be? ILE, you decide!

Is she bouncing them up and down like a showgirl? Maybe switch to 1/2 decaf in your office coffee.

I have no idea what your co-worker looks like, but if she weighs 300 pounds and wears a tent dress to work, it's not likely she's getting off on it! If she has hot dancer's legs, maybe!

it doesn't *have* to mean she's masturbating. 99% probability she's not and she's just got restless leg syndrome or is kinda hyperactive or just is nervous and hates being in meetings.

These answers so far are reassuring. I can just be annoyed, rather than grossed out.

pretty much

I have sympathy for you, you may sound intolerant, but sometimes someone has a physical disorder they can't help....and some people are just annoying. Shit like that can send you to EAP or counseling really fast!

I can't work out how someone's looks/weight determines whether or not they masturbate.

Uh...in public - at work?? I'm not saying heavy people are ugly - far from it, just that they might be less vain! I'm sorry but people who show off at work tend to be, uh..."hot" in the conventional sense of the term.

Thanks, omimo. I wondered too! I'm on the heavy side and perfectly capable of masturbating, though I rarely choose to do so at the office. Squeezing can be done without the legs to answer the original question - feels nice, but not particularly orgasmic. Perhaps I'm doing it wrong.

Question reminds me of buried childhood memory - gr7 band teacher used to squeeze his buttocks with the beat. So weird!

I mean, I just heard about this thing from like, a buddy in 10th grade history class or something, like it was a secret masturbation technique. Hadn't really questioned it but I also hadn't seen very many women do this since then. But then I noticed this coworker is doing this every time I see them.

And re: the hot thing, she is definitely not "hot" or trying consciously act sexy for our coworkers. Based on other information I know about her, she may have athletic legs.

ffm, that's so gross.

how's life, Thursday, 1 November 2012 17:14 (eleven years ago) link

anyway the point is that apocryphal hearsay from high school isn't always factually based. cf: girls are physically unable to fart, etc.

HL: totally get it. Funny. Obviously when you're aroused everything is a bit more sensitive & tingly & whatnot, but I feel in a workplace setting its unlikely the goal is getting rocks off..

she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Thursday, 1 November 2012 17:16 (eleven years ago) link

ftr, the "gross" was in response to your band teacher.

Haha, I figured. Mine was an xp.

My pet peeve is when someone keeps staring at me while I try to surreptitiously masturbate during meetings.

pplains, Thursday, 1 November 2012 17:20 (eleven years ago) link

Oh, wait. That's actually my favorite thing about my co-workers.

But yeah, that's totally fucking insane, but I might have to try clenching my buttocks to the beat in private now, just to investigate what was going on there.

Any song recommendations?

how's life, Thursday, 1 November 2012 17:23 (eleven years ago) link

Hmmm, can't remember what we played in class.. perhaps Ode to Joy? I was flute, in the front row to the side, so my friends & I had an excellent view of his pulsating buttocks.

she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Thursday, 1 November 2012 17:45 (eleven years ago) link

It just seems so exhausting to keep clenching. But perhaps it will make my ass perkier. He was not creepy in any other way, at least.

she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Thursday, 1 November 2012 17:45 (eleven years ago) link

Omg my 3rd grade teacher used to do a bum-wiggle when he conducted us in music lessons. I distinctly remember him doing it to 'Memory' from Cats

See, this is what I'm thinking!

how's life, Thursday, 1 November 2012 17:50 (eleven years ago) link

My ass, not yours, to clarify.

should xpost this question to the thread of getting sw0le.

how's life, Thursday, 1 November 2012 17:52 (eleven years ago) link

Who couldn't use a slightly perkier ass? Why the hell not!

So, hot women with dancer's legs are more likely be vain, as demonstrated by... masturbating during in a work meeting? I thought your first comment was pretty offensive (tent dress? bite me) but now I just think you are a very strange person with a weird view of women.

PS women who cross their legs and jiggle them during meetings are not masturbating, regardless of their size, dress preferences, or the shape of their legs, unless you work at Adam and Eve.

Thread got weird.

update on mayor awesome, he's now becoming the office nickname guy. first was me, and now another co-worker's down. i'm kinda curious to see where this goes.

Spectrum, Thursday, 1 November 2012 18:45 (eleven years ago) link

carl otm btw. I forgot to post how pissed off I was about the tent dresses bit. and weight/vanity correlation is just hilarious. I'll have you know I am +/-230 pounds and I look in the mirror ALL the time. And love what I see!

she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Thursday, 1 November 2012 18:49 (eleven years ago) link

If you had an, um, normal body, you wouldn't jerk off in a work meeting. I mean, someone cruel might be there and make fun of you. I meant exactly the opposite of offense! If someone had a conventionally "hot" body, they might feel they could get away with it. I mean, it's obnoxious behavior, and who is going to take you to task if you're "hot"? No offense to women was intended.

What in the fuck are you talking about?

Una Stubbs' Tears (Trayce), Thursday, 1 November 2012 22:18 (eleven years ago) link

Are you actually implying some people would consider mastubating in front of work mates AT ALL, and that it is because they are good looking? I mean.. what the hell?

Una Stubbs' Tears (Trayce), Thursday, 1 November 2012 22:18 (eleven years ago) link

Isn't being made fun of the last thing you'd be worrying about if you were trying to surreptitiously masturbate in public what is this conversation even

I have no idea what we're talking about anymore but I think clarification is the *last* thing we need

just to bring the tone up a bit, with ffm's description of the buttock-clenching teacher i had a bit of a brainfart and was imagining him with his arms behind him, one hand on each asscheek, rhythmically squeezing away. it was disturbing.

what do you do when you've asked someone politely and nicely to do something relatively easy and sensible that is part of their job, and they continually fuck it up, most likely due to just incompetence rather than intent? i seriously don't even know... it becomes embarrassing to the point that it's like each time i raise it it's as if i'm going HI YOU'RE THICK, regardless of the wording.
