There's a really annoying phrase that's been going around my office for the past few months and I'm at my wit's end with it. You know how sometimes your department is the only one working hard to meet a deadline, and someone from another department that has nothing to do (the department that caused the work in the first place) comes over and says: "Having fun yet?" Aaarrrgggh!!!! SHUT UP YOU SNIVELLING IGNORANUS BEFORE I RIP OFF YOUR HEAD AND S**T DOWN YOUR NECK! (breathing heavily, calming down...) I'm looking for somebody to help me come up with a really witty, sarcastic reply. You know the kind that sounds like a compliment but is actually a scathing comment on the person's intelligence. I'd also welcome anything concerning lack of personal hygiene, personal appearance. You get the picture. My apologies, feel free to ignore this. Just had to get this off my chest.

When they ask "having fun yet" reply with "I was until 5 minutes ago" If they ask "why what happened" anser with "i got interuptid"

I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.

 

May faulty logic undermine your entire philosophy Your fly is open You have a big piece of spinach in your front teeth You're from New York, aren't you?(or whatever is a bad place to be from) check http://www.insultmonger.com// lots there...

I get paid to work, not have fun..doing work yet?..;) sorry, that may be over the top..;)

Jerk your head quickly to one side, with an almost pained grimace on your face, saying nothing more than "whoa" extend a box of Altoids toward them.

Or...if they truly are from the depsrtment causing the work: "Why yes, I'm loving it. Doing the work that other people are incapable of is great fun and is also great job security. Feel free to pass along the stuff you guys can't handle any time."

"Actually I am, but that's because I've seen who's on the chopping block." or "You've never had sex, have you." or "Do you actually HAVE a girlfriend?" or Punch him in the face.

tape a box on the wall with a slot in the top, place a sign above it with 'Swear Box' crossed out and 'penalty box for those with a low IQ asking "are we having fun yet"'

You may then simply point, watch and smile :)

I'm loving these suggestions. But if I used them, I'd never be able to show my face in the lunchroom again.

Punch him in the face LOL. Believe me it takes every fibre of my being not to do so. Anyway, violence is out of the question. I work in an environment that is predominantly women. @Gog Good one. I don't have walls, though. I work in a cubicle environment. And not even full cubicle, they're these ultra techno half height cubicles, so when you're sitting down, everyone can see you're at your desk.

"Hows that syphilis of yours?" asked fairly loud so that everyone can hear.

I was going to say just what orbital did except I was going to use sister instead. You can also A) ignore them or B) stare at them without saying anything until they get that uncomfortable feeling and leave.

Because I like to blow $%&# up.

Don't fear the night.  Fear what hunts at night.

Look slightly distracted, and say "Sorry, what did you say?". Keep examining some document while he repeats "Having fun yet?". Then give yourself a little shake and put the document down, apologise again, say "OK, this time I'm REALLY paying attention. Now, what was it that you were saying?". If he's thick-skinned enough to repeat it a third time, then just say "Yeah, yeah, sure" very shortly, and make it obvious that what he's saying still isn't sinking in. Ackshelly, the poor guy probably thinks he's being friendly.

Move in close, make sure there are people within earshot & eyeshot.... "HEY, don't touch me there!!

Ockham's razor- It's that simple

lol, now that's just mean!

"all in a day's work....shrug....hey, do you have a copy of that Memo they sent around Monday regarding the corporate restructuring, i'd like to re read it...." nice big butt lickin' grin and go back to work.

Tape an easy to read sign to the back of your chair that reads: NO, I'M NOT HAVING FUN YET. That should quiet them down. I had the same problem with a stupid joke where I work years ago. If you said a phrase that could inferred to fit the joke, they would say, "That's what she said last night." Examples: "I've got a headache." "That's what she said last night." "Do you have a larger one?" "That's what she said last night." You get the idea. Morons with no real sense of humor thought this was hilarious. I brought it all to a screeching halt by using it when it would make no sense at all. "Have you seen the paper?" "That's what she said last night." "My car wouldn't start this morning." "That's what she said last night." After a few days of this, I never heard it again. :^) Just make it unfunny for them. "Having fun yet?" "No." (Say it very flatly, without smiling, looking them straight in the eye. Continue looking at them, don't blink until the silence becomes uncomfortable. This should work. Alternately, leave out the "No." to really make them uncomfortable. After they leave, smile to yourself. NOW you're having fun. :^) )

This is not my "second childhood". I'm not finished with the first one yet.

perosonally i like www.insultmonger.com i have used it and recomonded it. also the punch in the face doesnt hurt also. or do it my way and have an excesively large knife on your desk, in view of them as the walk in to your cubical. and then see if he says anything to ya. if he dose, pick it up and, for example, clean your nails, or something as long as it is in your hand.

My favorite comeback is: "You stepped in WHAT??"

tjohn...I like your comeback better. lol

Sometimes people just say that in order to be annoying. Heh...
Work can be that boring sometimes.

Anyhow you could just set up a big countdown timer for when work lets out and post a sign under it saying "Time until the fun begins."

"Having sex yet?" (kinda like Drawbridgep's... sorry...) If you get fired for any reason, go home, watch Falling Down, and then go back to work. Works every time.

Having fun yet? No that starts when you leave

http://joevinton.blogspot.com/

All great stuff. You've given me lots of ideas. So, I'll try out the following: "Having fun yet?" " Is it 5 o'clock yet?" OR "Having fun yet?" "Does it look like I'm having sex?" I know they're pretty benign, but I don't want to be known as Mr. No Humour. Thanks all.
