I wish. Couple of newly added women that are annoyingly attractive. I don't work closely enough with them for the 10 ft thing to apply, but I work in a big city so these things happen. Still not gonna be a creep tho.

Lies, lies, lies. I'm gonna ask her out and she how my life will end. Rejected and fired for sexual harassment? Or blackmailed after the first hot night? /joke

[–] VoodooMischief@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 hours ago

There is a severe lack of attractive coworkers these days. Terrible for morale.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 59 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

If I spend 40 hours a week with someone and still I'm attracted to them then they're attractive and probably a nice person.

One of my coworkers is physically extremely attractive but to be honest I would quite like to have her beaten to death with a mallet. No amount of attractiveness can overcome her lazy petty vindictiveness.

[–] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 10 points 13 hours ago

In my experience, attractive people are used to get what they want because society subconsciously favors them. I'm not generalising as there are plenty of attractive people that are good human beings. But I think attractive people tend to be narcissistic than their non attractive counterparts.

[–] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 30 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

That is why I know they are attractive, both inside and out.

[–] Breezy@lemmy.world 16 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

You must be REALLY close knowing their insides are attractive.

[–] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

What else to do during lunch break?

[–] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 39 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I find the inverse true. I work at a place that has a few women I thought were very attractive. Now that I've worked with them for years, I'm over it

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 6 points 13 hours ago

Jobs really crush the human spirit, don't they? They are an evil, twisted perversion of what once was.

How I met my wife.

And how she met the guy she divorced me for.

[–] Gormadt@slrpnk.net 28 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Well that's a roller coaster of emotions

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

I want to get off Mr Bones Wild ride.

Counterpoint: your coworker is attractive and they don't need to be a goddess among trolls to be worthy of interest.

[–] plutopos@lemmy.zip 47 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Counter-counterpoint: any good person becomes attractive if you spend enough time with them

Addendum: dining rooms and bathrooms are different rooms for a reason, don't shit where you eat

[–] thethrilloftime69@feddit.online 23 points 20 hours ago (5 children)

I think this advice only applies to idiots. I've been dating coworkers for years and it's never once screwed me. My fiance is a former coworker. As long as you both understand the risks and are decent to someone after a break up, you really shouldn't have a problem.

Hell if they're someone who not only can stand me but I can stand them, then we're already halfway there lol

[–] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 21 hours ago

Counter-counterpoint: my coworker is obnoxious and is not attractive and I'm afraid I'm starting to develop Stockholm Syndrome from the amount of my life I spend having to listen to them die on anthills all day.

Counterpoint: my place of business hired a person who was a regular customer that I found distressingly attractive, like "Oh no, that hot customer is back, okay don't be weird, give them their space."

Once I worked with them for a few months I found out they were a total space cadet. I didn't suddenly find them un-attractive, but I definitely revised my estimation such that their presence was no longer a problem.

[–] mech@feddit.org 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

What's a space cadet in this context?

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Someone too focused on being an astronaut to pay any attention to the work that needs to be done at their normal job

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

You're not entirely wrong. Any conversation with them would inevitably drift off into the weirdest tangents, and they would happily continue their side of the conversation, even if the person to whom they were speaking had to walk away or start doing another task. They weren't bad at the job, but they weren't great either, and they were consistently odd, and not in a fun quirky way.

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 67 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Instructions unclear, dated attractive co-worker in 2007. She farted on our first date, loud enough to be heard over the music and loud drunks at a steakhouse.

We've been married 17 years.

[–] EvasiveSpecies@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

A love story for the ages but unironically.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 5 points 8 hours ago

I was boutta say put a ring on her but seems you were 17 years early to my idea

[–] phailhaus@piefed.social 12 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

My coworker is also very attractive. We've been in various stages of relationship since highschool and were engaged before she got hired, however.

Edit: She would like the Internet to know that I woo'd her with compliments about her puke-green eyes.

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Beautiful puke-green eyes.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 31 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

An interesting way to share your fart fetish with us

You also get to walk away from your coworker and not think about them every day at the same time, which luxury is no longer available when you become a couple.

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 8 points 15 hours ago

Until she quits and gets a better job. And he does the same.

Worked for us. :-)

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 44 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Speak for yourself. My bosses are all 50 plus year old perverts, so they're only hiring incredibly attractive women.

Sometimes going into work sucks for me the way it might feel for a goblin sewer cleaner to walk out into the city.

[–] kayzeekayzee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 36 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Hi, one of your coworkers here 👋

We actually spend a lot of time talking behind your back about how hot you are

[–] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 8 hours ago

Yeah, They really should do something about their fever.

They are too cute to be sick.
