Men At Work Podcast - PATREON BONUS: She Didn't Invite Coworker to her Birthday and Now HR is Involved

Starting point is 00:00:00 All right. So I'm 24 turning 25. My boyfriend and I have very close birthday, so we usually celebrate together. We planned our party and I invited a couple of my girls from work. These are friends I hang out regularly with outside of work and I sent them all a discreet message with the invitation. Well, my 35-year-old co-worker found out about it because someone was talking about it out loud. She calls me into her room and goes, I'm just really sad and goes on whining about how I didn't invite her to my birthday party and how upset she is about it. To make it worse, she went to our bosses and complained to them. and they spoke about being sensitive to others in a staff meeting. I sent my friends a private message. I don't know how much more sensitive I can be. Oh, oh. Bro, dude. 35 years old, you can't run with the 24-year-old horses anymore. You're the oldest horse in the Derby.

Starting point is 00:00:50 Yeah. I mean, but then, look, I'm devil's advocate people's for this podcast. Yeah, fine. If you didn't bring enough for the class, don't bring it in. you know what I'm saying I hate to say I might sympathize don't hand out invites in the office

Starting point is 00:01:06 or make it happen it was a private message you can't do it in the office dude do it at home do it on Club Penguin on private servers you can't have your fat and I assume she's fat 35 year old co-worker

Starting point is 00:01:20 wondering what you guys are talking about dude that's her and I to confirm she's absolutely a retunned woman I don't I do not like that She said I sent them all a discreet message with the invitation That does tell me that you probably did send this shit in the office Which is bullshit you know you have a group text

Starting point is 00:01:37 With this girl and you talk shit on this coworker all the time Just wait till you get out of way too you go to lunch Or wait till you get out of the office to send it We all had them So I do feel you there But it's just like it goes back to like What would you talk about with a 24 or 25 year old I couldn't I'm 32

Starting point is 00:01:55 I could not imagine what the fuck to talk about. And I'm actually like keep my ear to the ground. Like I talk to Santiago sometimes and I want to blow my brains out. Yeah, I can't imagine. You talk to Santiago and you're like, she's excited for prom? I have no idea what guys like that too. So you're still on your parents' health insurance and you can't rent a car yet? What the fuck is going

Starting point is 00:02:10 on over there? Dude, me and you just ask him like, so you weren't alive for 9-11. That's good conversation. Every time. That's exactly, but that's exactly what the night would revolve around them not being alive for 9-11. And then I would have to tell them where I was. Because I had to tell everybody where I was.

Starting point is 00:02:26 You know, I have no, I've no, barely any recollection, first of all. And I had nothing, nothing remotely close to anyone being affected by 9-11. I do like the idea that you think that anybody of that age, all they talk about is that they cannot remember 9-11. We're not exposed to 9-11. Dude, I'm telling you, Matt, I got a serious issue. That fascinates the shit out of me. The first thing, when someone tells me how old they are, I immediately do the math. 9-11 yeah no you have to it's the craziest it's the craziest like like I feel like

Starting point is 00:03:03 probably kids that were born in from 9-11 what do they do they probably like wow you don't remember the 2008 financial collapse yeah it's like who cares dude oh you don't remember the arab spring yeah it's like you want to talk about a collapse dude I got two collapses for you in one day you ever heard of Gaddafi you ever heard how twitter how twitter designed an uprising and toppled Egypt? Dude, I don't even know. You might get the same thing. When I hear people that age make 9-11 jokes, I'm kind of like, you don't really get the joke about that.

Starting point is 00:03:35 Stolen valor. It's a little before your time. It's like when you're alive, when one of your grandparents dies, and then you have a younger cousin, and then they try to make jokes about the dead grandparent, it's like, dude, don't do that, all right? Show her a little respect. Yeah, you weren't around. You went around to do that.

Starting point is 00:03:50 You didn't go through what we went through. It's like when people made fun of your friend that aren't in the first. friend group. Everybody picks on this one guy and then someone from outside the group thinks they get too comfortable habits all the time on a bachelor party. It's like, whoa, well, relax. I get that too. One of my close friends died when I was in college

Starting point is 00:04:08 and then like my family thinks it's a free-for-all making fun of my little friends. It's crazy. My brother-in-law does it and I'm like, where did you come from? You weren't even around. We thought to be. But, like, somebody dying in a drunk driving crash, and he's like, oh, like your buddy, home?

Starting point is 00:04:29 And I'm like, what are you doing? Yeah, still got trauma back here, you know, that I haven't really released yet. Do you mind, you know, relaxing a little bit? Oh, dude, it's like a twin. It's like when you eat something sour, my jaw started tingling. And I was like, I don't think you get to do that. Anyway, so that's like 9-11. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:04:45 I'll tell you exactly what this lady would do. I'm going to imagine they're going out to the bar. You know what, at 24, 25, they're probably day drinking. They're probably starting at, like, one or two. uh, pre-gaming at the place, you know, then they're going out to like an outdoor bar 20, uh, you know, four, five o'clock and everything. And then like, they're probably coming back and something to eat and then going out to a bar. And it's like, this woman would not be able to hang past like a two to three hour, maybe a four hour threshold. She's feeling really good. So like that woman would have to

Starting point is 00:05:19 pick her threshold, I would imagine. So maybe she does, maybe she does the day drinking from one to five. all right now she's she's out of there by five god forbid she tries to do the the 10 to 2 i mean these kids would be blacked out by 10 o'clock and she'd be just getting started it would be absolutely miserable this lady's for even wanting to think about this no she definitely is out of her mind for caring whatsoever and having any kind of issue like if you just kind of say hey that's not my that's not the gang of wolves that i run with i ran with wolves back of the day i can't do it anymore and but like to your point people whenever you drink with the older person at the bar they also tend to bring the mood down by their points of conversation too 100 because this woman might

Starting point is 00:06:02 be single no kids or she's probably divorced got to be a divorce a divorce with one kid it seems like the exact person i don't know dude that that that weird millennial area where it's kind of i think gen x i think is above us i forget which one's above us um yeah that's a weird threshold of like 90s-ish kids late late 80s that kind of dabbled a little bit in like the scene like a little emo version like you imagine like 89 you had an insane you insane childhood yeah double dare legends of the hidden temple but you also had like grunge and like nirvana and stuff so like were you just an absolute idiot in high school or were you just like an absolute like depressed individual and then they take that and like a lot of them are like kind

Starting point is 00:06:58 of on that threshold of where it's like yeah you know mary just never met the guy for her we think she's a lesbian but she never really came out true i don't know she's got a roommate that everyone worries about but now they're now they don't even live the other anymore the roommate that people worry about is actually a little on the nose i uh i can fully see that And she said, she mentioned it in her, uh, in her write up that, uh, she brought her into her office. So this woman has like a good position, you would imagine, maybe a director level, at least a manager level. She's got her own office and everything. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:07:32 So like probably was a career woman, you know, girl boss. Bring her the office is so brutal, dude. I mean, just bringing her in the office to be like, so you think I don't like Dave and Busters too? Is that what you think about me? No, it's not that. It's not that. Seriously, we can only have eight people on the party, so I'd really narrow it down. Otherwise, literally you were nine. And we were, like, we were supposed to have somebody drop. I was going to ask you. There were two kids parties at the same time. The kids room isn't that big. You know this if you go to David Busters. But, man, she's like, you don't think I wanted some tickets. I have some tickets. She probably has tickets left over from an old David Buster trip from back in 2005 that she's just kept waiting to go back. Yeah, she's like, I had old tickets. They're like, they don't even do tickets anymore. You just do it on your phone, you fucking old weird bitch. What are you talking about, dude?

Starting point is 00:08:22 Everybody knows this on the Dave and Buster's power card, okay, you bitch. Your tickets aren't even valid anymore. Oh, God. And when can, when can, when can bosses just tell people to go fuck themselves again? Is it ever going to get back to it? No, I hope it doesn't. I'm not built for that workplace. But just like a meeting where it's like, make sure.

Starting point is 00:08:46 we're you know we this is the problem with america right now where you're handling ourselves like we are children like to imagine imagine going to a meeting and it's centered around being and make sure we're sensitive to others and everybody knows it's about a 35 year old childless maybe divorce say yeah yeah but i think that's i that dude but that is like the way you have to treat like this woman's a millennial but like gen x and boomers they don't realize how much the kid gloves they've needed their entire lives too hmm really they saw they saw black people sagged their pants a little bit and they're like that's it we're electing fascism like these people lose their minds and they need to be coddled more than people our age do i swear to god dude

Starting point is 00:09:37 they watch somebody fucking dunk in the free throw line and they're like that's it they're going back in cages i can't fucking watch this are you saying Reagan got got elected because jordan and done from the free throw line. Donald Trump is a symptom of SoundCloud rappers winning the skills challenge back in 2002. No, no. Donald Trump, Donald Trump getting elected is a symptom of Nate

Starting point is 00:10:02 Robertson being Andre Aguadale, the dunk contest. People went nuts because the clean cut Andre Aguadala did not win over Nate Robinson being able to do it through his legs 17 different times. Yes. And then that's a good point because that's also connected, the reason we got Biden for four years is because Logan Paul knocked out Nate Robinson. So they got a little bit of, like, they felt better for a little. They're like, all right, we can take four years off. We'll give you four years.

Starting point is 00:10:31 That's got at work. Bush got elected because the Lakers won three in a row. They're like enough, dude. Enough of Shaq. That Kobe, and we know what happened in Colorado. Oh, dude. So many dads. Can you imagine? conversation with dads when that news came out there like i told you i told you the whole time it's like what what do you mean he's like i knew there was something about that copy brian i didn't like oh what was it dad what was it i can't quite put my finger on it and then

Starting point is 00:11:03 that happens and then he has to watch him win like two more titles and he's like something's going to work out for me in the end Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
