Yo Dude in the Office Next to Mine,
I have an office, not a cubicle. My door is shut. I have loud punk music playing on the speakers in here.
Somehow, I can clearly hear your ass talking to someone about football. Now, by my calendar, that ended a good two weeks ago, and the news that the Redskins hired some nobody as a coach came out a while ago. Yet, you've been talking about the subject, and your love of a team that has been horrible for years now, all throughout the season, and every single day since the Superbowl.
Now, I don't give a fuck what your hobbies are. I'm not enough of a sports fan to care about trash talking your beloved team, even if they clearly just don't win too often, and are owned by a multi-millionaire who doesn't give a fuck about you. Hell, I can even respect your loyalty to something, if you want to look at it that way. That's your own business, much like the fact that many of my hobbies and associates are atypical for this workplace. I have no quarrel with that.
No, my issue is that it is YOUR business, not MY business. I should NOT be able to hear your ass every day, day in and day out, inside a closed office with music blaring. I don't know what it is you do here, but clearly, you have a lot more free time than me. I occasionally get to bitch about things on the internet, and slightly more often read about other people's drama that I CHOOSE to read about. I really don't have time for your bullshit. Really.
So yeah, tone it down a bit. You're talking to the dude two feet from you, not an entire auditorium. That way, you can still live your life, and I can get back to being frustrated about work, and find other things to passively aggressively bitch about on the internet[0].
~EEE~
[0] I call it like I see it. I can knock on myself too. ;)

Blame Rob (
I'm talking about the hardcore fans who rival the folks I saw back in the Midwest whose lives revolve around the Packers. The Redskins fans who annoy me are like Cheeseheads, except their team isn't nearly as good.
I don't care much for sports rivalries, and generally enjoy most games of anything I can see live. No, my issue is with the people who assume that anyone around here loves them some Redskins, and "I didn't grow up here" isn't an answer. Even if they are tolerant, it's all they can talk about. Loudly. When I'm trying to work.
These are the people I take issue with. Note that I dislike closed minded fans of just about anything. The worst ones are always the ones I am the closest to physically.
~EEE~
It's not that everyone is a Redskins fan. You just better not be a Cowboys fan, or I'll trash talk you :-P.
But yes, I don't talk loudly about the Redskins all the time. I leave that up to Rob and his friends. And even they don't talk about football too too often.......OK, they do it pretty often, but not all the time.
How much do you like your eardrums? 'Cuz you can try to blast your punk music to max volume.
