I have to interact with this guy who's been working here for two weeks and he's Australian so to make him feel welcome I was addressing him in emails with 'Gday Brian', and he took offence to this, he's been a tad moody with me at the coffee area. I thought he may just fancy me because he is gay (VERY gay) and being moody because of it. I have just checked my sent items and when you put Gday through spell check (which I have been doing fast), it comes out Gay. I have been referring to him as Gay Brian, in serious work related emails. oopps?
what can I say to him too sort it out? My mate reckons I should give him a blowie… then give Brian one too?
Advice? |

I see it doesn't tick any of the boxes below. lol
but is it remotely funny? |
Written by Bottleblondesurfer (3133 comments posted) 13th December 2007 | OK I'll give you my reaction, here. It's not so much remotely funny, as potentially funny. You have just related an anecdote without crafting it into a humourous sketch. The humour is in how you craft it. It's source material for a sketch. You need to write the sketch around it. Ask,where's the humour here?
--You could have a spell checker with attitude,who doesn't like you or a homophobic spell checker, or maybe a dyslexic one.
--Perhaps he thinks you're gay [how would he react?] perhaps you have inadvertantly outed him to the office,etc etc.
Just work out a scenario and run with it and then script it. |
