Trying to Get Pregnant
Have you ever...
Disliked someone based on something so petty it seems ridiculous, but you just can't help it? I work with this man whose voice drives me INSANE. It's this whiny, nasal, effeminate voice that sometimes even seems to border on baby talk. And to top it off, he always talks reeeeaaaalllyyy slooooooow... which prolongs the whiny, nasally, effeminate torture to my ears. To be fair, I dislike him for other reasons as well - he's a brown-nosing suck-up who claims to be an "expert" on everything but is actually fairly incompetent (yet seems to have our boss snowed), and he's lazy, lacks initiative, and seems happy to let others do his work for him. But it's that VOICE that makes me want to crawl out of my skin. And I seem to be extra hyper-sensitive to it lately.
We sit about 12 feet away from each other in an open-office setting and he's been on the phone for the last 20 minutes. I believe my ears may start bleeding at any moment.

"Accidently" throw something at his testicles one day, maybe they haven't dropped yet!
O M G, I'm ROTFL! You are too funny.
Once in college, I had to stop seeing a guy because I couldn't stand the way he said hello on the phone. I mean, I wasn't all that into him to begin with, but it would DRIVE ME CRAZY every time he called me. It was this long drawn out "hellloooo" in this really depressing voice. It was like nails on a chalkboard.
Sounds like the voice is just the icing on the cake! Holy crap!
Do you ever just look at someone and just think, "How can you not know that you're a complete and total douche?"
It's not that he whines about anything in particular, per se. His voice is just naturally nasal-sounding and "whiny." It's like fingernails on a chalkboard, it really is.
Oh, also he sings to himself. Out loud. At his desk. Usually it's just a low, monotonous humming, but sometimes he'll actually break into full-fledged song. When I said something to him about it once, he explained that, see, he's a musician and so he always has a "piece" running through his head. In turn, I explained to him that my BIL is a professional musician... yet he somehow manages to NOT sing and hum out loud in public places at inappropriate times. Co-irker then said he just didn't realize he was doing it. HTF do you not realize when you're breaking into song at your desk???
This guy sounds like a real piece of work! I would have strangled him by now!
Just put a porn mag in his desk while he's gone and tell the boss that you think he's doing some inappropriate reading while he's supposed to be working. LOL
Okay I'm REALLY mean, but it would get rid of him.
