Conversations (with a coworker)
December 11, 2006
"A bunch of us are going to try the Beyonce Master Cleanse diet starting today and we're going to do it for the entire week. Want to join us?"
"Hmmm. Well, I've kind of already done that one."
"Oh." [Looks at me.] "So...the diet doesn't work?"

Scoffing: You should know that my coworker and I are TOTALLY in a fight now. Whatever! Can you believe she said that?!

That was extremely rude. And they wonder why you give them look when you are interrupted.

There was a whole article in the Sunday Styles section of the NY Times this weekend about the master cleanse! I was all, "Chirky did this!! They should have interviewed her!"

I feel like your coworker should have ended that conversation by saying, "Ay-ooo!" and then running away.

Rude. Some people have no tact. You tell her!
Or don't, rather, since silent treatment is much gooder.

Oh no she didn't!!! I hope she gains 15 pounds and has heinous breath for the next month. Rude, I tell you, just rude!

i think good payback will be to point and laugh as she suffers through "hell week" as I choose to call what she is about to experience, oh and walk by her office/cube with really good smelling food all the time and just smile with the knowledge that she can't eat it, oh no she has to go suck down lemon juice with firey hot pepper and take something called "smooth move" . . . ohhhh and you could lock all the doors to the bathrooms (wow so my obvious response to something like that is pure evil payback, good to know)

Good lord. People really need to THINK before they speak!

I think you should follow Katie's recommendations. Your co-worker deserves it.
