Right, guys. Here's the "official follow-up", although I doubt anyone truly cares. Here's the story: I have a new coworker who started just a few weeks ago. Since I'm training him, we've discovered that our personalities mesh exceedingly well, so our work area is increasingly gaining the reputation as being the happiest on site. We've been told more than once that we are "having too much fun" by the older employees as we stagger through the building while doubled over with laughter. The staring started about a week ago as a joke, but he's since managed to recruit most of the coworkers in my area. There's nothing quite like having the place go silent and looking up to witness a sea of unemotional faces staring back at you. This is my third published FML.

Actually from what I hear serial killers are quite loud in real life.

Actually most serial killers, being the psychopaths that they are actually social, charming, and seem friendly. They often use those traits to manipulate their victims. And yet when they finally get caught neighbors will say things like, "He always seemed so quiet and kept to himself".

What a douche! Stay happy. That's the best revenge for all the miserable pricks in the world. Or bring in a "V for Vendetta" style mask and watch them through it. They'll tire of it soon enough, especially if it's not working on you.

Oh boy, you work with Vampires. Run OP run.

Oh, I just read your follow up. Then maybe you should walk singing

create an issue...they are forced to talk...sorry OP..

tell your supervisor

Google "boneless butt whole". Print out an image of the meat label, make a small poster of it and hold it up when they are staring at you. Repeat with a new funny image the next day. If no one breaks up laughing, they are pod people. Run!

If the silence bothers you too much play some music...or get a game yourself until they quit...
