6 People You Can Live Without

I was browsing through the net and stumbled upon a gem of a site - men’s health - somehow their articles are a tad more interesting than the ones I usually find at the other side of the fence.

What caught my attention was the article on the 6 people who complicate your life - people whose only contribution is to stress us or obliterate any ounce of sanity we have left. But the list was short and I decided to write my own version. See if you have a few of these individuals you can definitely live without:

Sleazy Officemate

Fave Line: “How do you like your eggs, poached, fried or fertilized?”
Oh I’ve had a few. The one whose every sentence ends with a sexual innuendo. The one you’re tempted to report to the HR department but won’t do so because it will only complicate things more. He usually waits for you during coffee breaks and can’t wait to use his new line at you.

Friend who never left highschool

Fave Line: “Duuuuuude you should have seen (insert your name) during prom, he had the ugliest prom king crown ever!”
And he’s been saying that every time you got together, and frankly if he hadn’t gotten a good friend of yours pregnant, you’d probably be punching his face when he gets ready to say that line. It’s okay to reminisce don’t get me wrong, but won’t you ever grow up?

By the way, he’s still wearing his old high school jacket. Sometimes you wish he had just gotten stuck there for… ever!

The Blind Boss

Fave Line : “we’ll look into it…”(but he rarely does)
Remember Dilbert’s boss, Pointy-Haired Boss? During a performance evaluation meeting, the upper management was discussing each employee from PHB’s team, and he’d just reply… “nope never heard from him”. I thought you’d only see that in comics, but apparently everything is based in reality. I worked for someone who was oblivious to the flaws of the middle management, and although everyone wanted to snitch and tell the upper management to wake up, they turned a blind eye. It makes you want to gouge your eye out.

The Irritating Relatives

Fave Line: “oh dear you’re already (insert age here), when are you getting married!?!”
Like getting married is the end all be all for a man, or a woman. Some people manage fine without getting married (look at those men - George Clooney perhaps?). Getting married is a choice, not a destination. Your weapon? The Divorce statistics!

The Single White Female

Fave Line: everything you say!
It’s nice to be admired, nice to be looked up to, but there’s a fine line between admiration and stalking. If you watched the movie Single White Female, you’ll know what I’m talking about. If not, just imagine this: a friend who has copied everything about you, from the way you dress, your haircut, to even harboring feelings for your boyfriend. Be scared. Be very scared.

The Clingy Ex

Fave Line: “But I already had our wedding planned out!”
Admittedly, there are more clingy female exes than the male ones. Why? Women are more emotional than logical, so it doesn’t matter if there’s no logical explanation why she’d want to live with a guy - she wants him, and she’s going to cling until somebody takes her to the loony bin. Men beware. Clingy exes can sometimes turn out to be more than you bargained for - so during a drink with the buddies, be careful WHO you take home.

Whew, what a list. I’d want to add some more but those I think would work fine for now. If you have any suggestions on people we can live without, please, let me know.
