How to apologize in a gentle way
-
It's terribly inappropriate to tell a person the truth and possibly hurt their little feelings. For the sake of peace, get some counseling before your terrible ideology of truth destroys the world.
Please keep your honest opinion to yourself! :laugh:

My coworker is really a nice guy, but sometimes when he watches or reads funny things on Facebook calls me to watch or read. And honestly most of times it's not funny at all :| . I tried to put my headphones to listen to music while working so he understands I don't want to watch or read, but with no luck. My question is how to apologize in a gentle way, we work in same room and on the same projects for 8 hours a day :) Thanks! :rose:
Shut the fuck up. Can't you see I'm working. :-D Well maybe not shut up but tell him you are really not interested in that kind of thing.
Once you lose your pride the rest is easy. In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you. – Buddha

I'm with POH, the grinding of bones should reduce the distraction re occurrence. Seriously, YOU should not be apologising, just tell him you are not interested, don't have time or just to plain fuck off!
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

I read this with interest since it can apply to a lot of annoying people that I have to deal with: 0: my IBIL (retired) who has called me 5 out of the last 6 days just to talk about his knee surgery among many other illnesses and pains...or else he is bragging about how smart he is. 1: my neighbor whom I try to avoid at all costs...why, well, he is also retired and loves to talk, mostly complaining about the other neighbors or how he's getting something over on somebody or some company. 2: my boss who calls me multiple times a day to ask the same old boring question...'what are you doing?'. I 'was' working, but now, since you called I have stopped being productive and simply looking to get off the phone as quickly as possible. 3: a friend who recently sent me a link (his idea) to a 'black market' music and movie sharing site. That was 3 weeks ago and I haven't checked it out yet. He sent 3 text messages and 2 emails asking if I had gone to the site. I politely replied back 'no but thanks' the first time, and have ignored the others. I'll check it out when I have nothing more important to do...Get it? I'm just not as enthusiastic about wasting hours of my time watching TV. There's too much coding to be done! ...or maybe I'm just anti-social! :laugh:
