What the hell is that? by graemestevens

What the hell is that?

One of my colleagues, who has not spoken to me since I resigned 3 weeks ago, even when asked a direct question, finally broke his silence this morning. This "man" is 34, married and has 3 children, so one would assume that he is an adult. He asked me when my final day was, and I replied that it is next Friday...to which he said "well, you're just...you're just gay!"
Well poo poo head to you too.
Of all the insults that have been hurled at me over the last 44 years, this is the most insulting yet. Why?
Certainly not because I'm homophobic - in fact, two of my closest friends are gay, Fabulously, extravagantly, enthusiastically gay...very far from "just gay".
No, I'm insulted because there was no thought or effort involved. I would far rather be a "goat shagging gypsy slag wagon flying shower of goat shit" than "just gay".
He just love you, man...and doesn't know how to say it any other way. Seriously, though, not that it makes it right, but sounds like he doesn't want you to leave. So gay;-).

@amandal It's a well known fact that I'm a big ol' loveable cuddle pot, so you could be right ;)
May 15th, 2015  
I believe it. I saw you prancing on the beach the other day.
May 15th, 2015  
Now we know how to describe you, Graeme! That other guy has no command of english so thats the best he could do - laughable really!

Nice haircut!
May 15th, 2015  
But you used goat twice, so only 4 of 5 stars to you.
May 15th, 2015  
Family and workmates are thrust upon you... friends you choose yourself!
May 15th, 2015  
Maybe he meant "You're just happy!" ;) I hope you responded with the look you have in this photo. Fabulous.
May 15th, 2015  
Love it. As least here you have support from people who appreciate you sense of humour. Hopefully you will to in your new job.
May 15th, 2015  
Oh, Graeme! There just aren't any words . . . :)
May 15th, 2015  
cool
May 15th, 2015  
Mercy. Maybe your new job will have nicer people!
May 15th, 2015  
Love the shot and glad you got the rest off your chest. Fortunately, there does not appear to be any goat shit on the bottom of your boot.
May 15th, 2015  
ya'll shld've given him a great big smoochie kiss... "what the hell?" indeed!!!!!
May 15th, 2015  
Let it go! Sit down, take a few deep breaths…. talk about it if you like! Just mind where you put that boot!
May 15th, 2015  
@amandal I wondered why I felt watched...
@maggiemae Exceedingly laughable! And thanks.
@pandorasecho Well spotted, but they are different breeds of goats, so all is well ;)
@vignouse Yes indeed, and I'm forever thankful for that!
@epcello I didn't know what to say so yes, this is the look he got ;)
@deliad Yes indeed, and I hope so too!
@juliedduncan Nope, there aren't ;)
@moviegal1 Thanks very much :)
@lsanderson55 I believe so, but we shall see.
@voiceprintz Its probably on the other foot...
@northy He's not renowned for his personal hygiene so...ahhh...no
May 15th, 2015  
@yrhenwr It's gone - I found it almost hysterical that "you're gay" was the best he could do...one week to go and it's all over :)
May 15th, 2015  
@graemestevens Envious of your escape, perhaps? In any case, his problem not yours!
May 15th, 2015  
Well I feel that his "insult" (?) is a little old fashioned - tell him from me that some slightly more up to date words he may wish to consider are "phat" or "sik" or of course if he prefers the old stuff "I will miss you!"
Watch out for your last week - he will be trying to pull your (metaphorical) pig tails!!!!
May 15th, 2015  
Perfect expression as a response to that comment!
May 15th, 2015  
When are you going to write your book, Graeme? :)
May 15th, 2015  
I think he's just jealous that your leaving. And didn't exactly know how to tell you that. LOL!
May 15th, 2015  
Nice pic, odd situation, wonderful composition
May 15th, 2015  
I think I'd look like this too if someone said that to me - you are right, no imagination at all on his part!
May 15th, 2015  
Did he stamp his feet too? Like something a 10 year old would say.
May 15th, 2015  
@yrhenwr Absolutely his problem. And he is now a problem for someone else...
@alinz There will be no pig tail pulling here - like I'd give away a bottle of wine even to apologise!
@kt8ird Thank you kindly...it seemed to be the only rational response...
@kareenking Ah, now - about that...ummmm
@tabarlett You're probably right but he's still a prat.
@photographycrazy Thanks very much - quite peculiar I thought
@dibzgreasley None what so ever - at least if he'd made some effort I could have been happy...
May 15th, 2015  
@888rachel Isn't it though? Poor little dear...
May 15th, 2015  
I can see why you were so disgruntled and resigned..... Say no more :)
May 15th, 2015  
@hermann Among so many reasons...
May 15th, 2015  
Oh you poor poor man, well at least you got your art and you can always "kill" him with it ;-) And i so agree with @amandal ´s comment -he´s so gay :) Great that you got away from this Place, all the best for you new adventures. Oh and cool shot btw!
May 15th, 2015  
You have the hardest life of all living things I know.
May 15th, 2015  
Yep, he deserves the boot alright. I bet you are happy to be leaving? Great shot by the way :-)
May 15th, 2015  
Poor man probably has a crush on you
May 15th, 2015  
Besides the fact that this bloke is obviously a complete twat - one must be careful assuming that any bloke is an adult - hahaha oh sorry I couldn't resist
May 15th, 2015  
@graemestevens squash me like a bug for that terribly sexist (albeit true) comment - hahahahaha - I cannot be trusted to behave
May 15th, 2015  
Sue
Hahahaha hilarious!!! That a guy can only think of that to insult you with! Damn, you should have told him to watch his mouth or you would hit him with your handbag! hahahaha. Nice photo, I take it that's your foot up his rear!

Yesterday I had to sit thru (read: torture) "High Performing Team" training. We were told that 1st impressions count. Wow, that's coming from a genius. Anyway, maybe he thinks that a man that wears a scarf is gay. I can only hope you tongue kiss him on the way out as you give his arse a good squeeze :)
May 15th, 2015  
It is a little pitiful when no thought is put into an insult. Clearly not worth wasting your time on.
May 15th, 2015  
go on stamp the cretin out, I bet this guy has a limp hand shake too...
May 15th, 2015  
@susale Thanks very much - do I have to kill him with art? Can't I use a knife?
@newbank It's because I'm a drama queen ;)
@leanne333 I'm delighted - 5 working days to go!
@mothermalarky Well, who wouldn't? ;)
@annied He is a twat of the highest order.
@sioux Thanks very much - he's not the sharpest tool but still...
@gigiflower There's no way I'm kissing him - I've smelled his breath before
@karlow75 Absolutely no thought at all. He certainly couldn't remember his big boy words.
@jack4john I'd like to say I'd rather take the moral high ground, but as I only have one week to go and very little left to do I think I might spend my time playing with his little mind ;)
May 15th, 2015  
Love the look on your face in this. Well rid of that colleague
May 15th, 2015  
@graemestevens oh yes play with his mind - no time or reason for moral high ground ha ha ha
May 16th, 2015  
@rachelwithey Thanks and absolutely :)
@annied I only have 5 days left, there is no time to lose!
May 16th, 2015  
@graemestevens hahaha give 'em hell
May 16th, 2015  
Wow, what is this guy, five years old or something?!! Frankly, I think he is lusting after you, and is just too upset that this relationship did not go anywhere, and now, well, you are JUST leaving!! Love the "goat shagging gypsy....whatever.... ;-))
May 16th, 2015  
@panthora I thinks it's my tight buttocks that bring this unwanted attention...
May 16th, 2015  
haha, I thought there is another meaning of gay, that is just too envious.
May 17th, 2015  
@yaorenliu Yes indeed it is ;)
