What discreet? The OP posts that the wife knows about her and the Executive Who Can’t Keep It In His Pants (EWCKIIP), and that she wanted the two of them er, separated at work.
Discretion is long gone. Cat’s outta the bag and all that.
Hope the opera was good.
(and I thought this story line was familiar–does the OP have ANY morals at all? Maybe I just send off the wrong signals, but how many men out there are truly looking for tail in the workplace? I’ve worked around young, middle-aged and older docs for over 20 years. Some flirting, yes, but this stuff? No.)
Didn’t I call this poster a troll ages ago? Like, in January, when she was whining about not getting an Xmas present from the rich boyfriend, whom she also extricated from a relationship with a “psycho.” Hmmm. I sense a pattern here.
Tip for nongoog: 3 years old is “very young.” 24 years old is a fucking grown up. Might be time to start acting like one. Hint: deriding other people’s stuffed animals doesn’t make you a grown up, but not fucking other women’s husbands and boyfriends could constitute a good start.
I did not intend to indicate that all message board posters fall into one or the other of those categories. There are in fact vastly more than two types of message board posters. If I had to pick between the two categories I defined in my preceding post–I’d rather read about other people’s adventures than post to excess about my own problems.
I’ve worked in a lot of offices, and one thing holds true everywhere (heck, not just offices - all workplaces) - people love to gossip, and this guy’s antics with nongoog were office gossip the day after, I would bet you. The wife finding out and divorce and all were all known to all in the office the hour it happened. People who think they’re having a clandestine affair at the office are about as obvious as Dwight and Angela in “The Office.” I think nongoog has been entertaining her officemates with her ridiculous behaviour just like she’s entertaining us. “Her? She’s the girl who slept with her boss and caused his divorce. Yeah, I know - I can’t believe she’s still working here, either. Must be some kinda lay. Heheheh.”
Question about the term “troll,” which I think is a relevant question as regards to the OP…
The way I understand it, the term refers to someone who posts something inflamatory with the sole intended purpose of riling everyone up and creating some kind of trainwreck thread, just for its own amusement’s sake.
In this case, I think this person MAY be intending rile everyone up, but more with the intention of getting attention, whether it be positive or negative (much like a small child would do). Would this count as trolling? Do I have the definition of the term wrong or right? Thoughts?
You’re pretty much right, but you’re missing the key ingredient of trolling as I understand it. An attention whore may post as you describe. A troll posts the same kind of thing, but their stories are fictional.
Sounds right to me. It just doesn’t make sense to me. Her threads are time wise kind of far apart. I wouldn’t think a troll would have the patience to wait. But I’m still trying to learn about these things for the most part . The part where people attack each other for no good reason I’m learning very well
Careful, that Bananadine is some nasty shit. One minute you’re walking along, feeling fine, and the next you’re flat on your back. Often to the sound of a slide whistle.
