Is there a way to stop my co-workers from gossipping about me? I don't think so, but it would be nice.

(Yes, I've debated giving them cupcakes with some sort of Ex-Lax in it. You needn't suggest that, already been thought of.)

	I usually threaten to bite their kneecaps, but I think that works because I'm pocket-sized, and my co-workers are also my staff. And sometimes my mum. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Alas, I'm much taller than you. Maybe I could threaten to sic you on them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That might work! Or you can get really creative and threaten vague things with insects and toothpicks and various sauces. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I just pretend to have seizures when they start trying to set me up with people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ooh, that's clever. I usually resort to Maori insults, like 'your mother isn't good enough for soup' (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not that intimidating in any language. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think I only get away with it because I'm teeny, but I can dethgrowl. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Well, you can ask them nicely? Or give them something less to talk about. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	imyourman 2011-07-29 01:07 am UTC (link)
	Asking them nicely didn't work, and I don't do anything at all! That's why they gossip. Clearly doing my job equals me either being a stealth gigolo or a homicidal maniac. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What do you do exactly? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imyourman 2011-07-29 05:12 am UTC (link)
	Graphic design. It's fairly boring, but I love it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	amellsinferno 2011-07-29 05:29 am UTC (link)
	Graphic design? Does that mean you draw for a living? Because that's hardly boring if you think about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imyourman 2011-07-29 05:38 am UTC (link)
	Part of it is drawing, and part of it is making it work on the internet. I like all of it, actually. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Become droll, and interest will decline. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	imyourman 2011-07-30 04:58 am UTC (link)
	I'm pretty much the definition of droll. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burnforalltosee 2011-07-30 04:59 am UTC (link)
	Then what is there for them to gossip about in the face of your menial existence? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imyourman 2011-07-30 05:10 am UTC (link)
	What all busybody women do - my sex life. Their fantasies are fairly interesting, if laughable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Whatever you do, the idea of laxatives in any way is not to be done, if you wish them to stop discussing such ideas. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imyourman 2011-07-30 05:19 am UTC (link)
	It also just seemed like a terrible waste of cupcakes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cupakes? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imyourman 2011-07-30 05:22 am UTC (link)
	They're smaller than an actual cake, but larger than petit fours. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burnforalltosee 2011-07-30 05:26 am UTC (link)
	Smaller than—prajiturele! You must forgive me, my English is still expanding. Why would they be discussing your sexual endeavours in the first place? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imyourman 2011-07-30 05:30 am UTC (link)
	Oh, of course, especially colloquialisms I'd imagine make it more difficult. I'm young and unwed and they want to either set me up with someone or shag me themselves. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Are you colleagues primarily female, then? Sounds very like the magpies that roam about nobility, even in my homelands. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imyourman 2011-07-30 05:44 am UTC (link)
	It's a fairly even divide between the sexes. Though the men don't worry about my genitals nearly as much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burnforalltosee 2011-07-30 05:47 am UTC (link)
	I would hope not! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imyourman 2011-07-30 05:51 am UTC (link)
	I - oh, right, time and all that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burnforalltosee 2011-07-30 05:54 am UTC (link)
	Time and what? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imyourman 2011-07-30 05:58 am UTC (link)
	I'm uh. Dating a bloke. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burnforalltosee 2011-07-30 07:49 pm UTC (link)
	Why? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imyourman 2011-07-30 08:28 pm UTC (link)
	I love him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burnforalltosee 2011-07-30 08:32 pm UTC (link)
	But how does that work? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imyourman 2011-07-30 11:27 pm UTC (link)
	The love or the physical consummation? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'll answer that for you, mister The Impaler. Quite well, thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm up to a quite well? Go team me! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, I may have been understating, actually. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Also good to know! (Reply to this) (Parent)
