Fun Shoe
Co-worker asked if he could borrow my phone to call his girlfriend real quick. I guess he's trying to get a ride and she's running an errand, I can't hear her side of the conversation but he keeps saying things like "so you're not going to tell me where you are" and "how could you do this to me." He kind of wandered off into the corner, keeps hanging up, rubbing his eyes and sighing, then calling her back. It's been like 5 minutes and I feel like he's gone over the time you can reasonably borrow someone's phone for. What's the least awkward way I can tell him to wrap it up?

Opportunity is-a knockin, my friend.

They're going to break up. You now now have her phone number on your cell, and funny/embarrassing stories to tell her about him at work.

My command, your wish is

i actually was once in a very similar situation, back in college i let some weird townie use my cell phone and he was on it forever and a day then people told me later that same townie had been hitting on/kissing guys the night before so then his gf calls me on the phone and says the guy i don't know but was kind enough to let use my phone is gay and i was like ya that's what everyone here is saying too so what but then she freaks the gently caress out because even though this guy was obviously gay af and she had even said so she was really in denial about it

Here's a workplace quandary. I work with a guy that loves to lean over the cubicle walls while holding a cup of coffee over my laptop and talk. Sometimes when it's empty, he'll toss it back and forth between his hands. Once he dropped it, missing my laptop screen by a hair.

I politely asked him many times to not lean over my computer with a hot cup of coffee, but he said that if did damage it, he'd replace it, so not to worry. We had a discussion about this and he agree to stop.

However, that leads to the follow up to the question at hand. If he did break my laptop, and agreed to replace it, should he take possession of the old broken one? After all, I'm made whole by having it replaced, so should I be up a laptop and a broken one (especially one that can be resold even broken for a few hundred dollars?).


Thoughts?

You work in a cubicle with your own personal equipment? I don't understand. Also, no, this is not a 'you break it, you bought it' situation, however you slice it.
