You actually overheard this in your office? Ick. Pretty funny, though!
Overheard? OVERHEARD?!? Is this a joke?
Honey, that was a transcription of myself from about an hour ago.
Years ago, I worked in a room with about 8 other guys. Everyday, our respective wives, girlfriends, and lovers would call. Whenever the callee would even suggest “I lov…”, then entire room would pipe up with “Oh, SCHMOOPY! kiss kiss kiss!” Said wives, girlfriends, and lovers would call just to evoke that reaction.

As long as you don’t choose her over the bisque.
You work for Rand Rover?
No. I’m better than him. I’m better than everyone.
I guess that’s what makes me the schmoopy.
Woah, is she always that needy?
There was recently a post about people answering their cell phones in meetings. We’ve found a guilty party, y’all!
No, she’s not really that needy. She just had a case of the horn-dogs, and wanted to talk dirty to me for a minute. That was on my land line, which I have to answer as part of my job. It took me a little off guard!
In the aforementioned office scenario, however, there was definitely a neediness component. That was not only a pain, but downright embarassing.
What? Wait. You took a personal call during a meeting? So you’re “that guy.”
Boggles the mind.
No, it wasn’t during a meeting. In fact, the conversation in the OP is largely fiction and was written more for comedic effect rather than as a direct transription.
I guess that’s painfully obvious only to me.
No, I got it & enjoyed it. Some of us don’t feel the need to endlessly nitpick the details of an OP at the expense of the larger point.
Missed the edit window. Yes, I whoosed myself.
I retract the “that guy” and “Boggles the mind” comments.
Reminds me of the commercial where the tough guy hockey player has to sing to his daughter over the phone from the locker room in front of all his team mates.
Thank you.
Surely, I’m not the only guy that this has happened to. In fact I know I’m not. And I’ve seen it as a sitcom plot hook many many times.
Damn. I thought this was going to be about Unforgotten Realms.
Alright, I wanna cast a spell.
