Valenteenah. Posted September 22, 2008 Johnny, it's not funny! The guy reeks like I have never smelt. And everytime I open a window, someone closes it (*it's cold*). Ibti, I did take a break - I'm spending my lunch hour in Starbucks with my laptop. Thank God for free wifi. Thanks, JB. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NGONGE Posted September 22, 2008 Too late, CL. I calmed down now. Val, Open a window. Better still, throw yourself out of a window. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NGONGE Posted September 22, 2008 ^^ But you told me you work on the ground floor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ibtisam Posted September 22, 2008 Starbucks is Zionist. Damn them. I’m waiting for Costa to start doing nice looking/ tasting things. Val, if you are going to be working there and he always smells like that, you might need to have a word with him. If it is just for today, then the day is nearly over.

NGONGE Posted September 22, 2008 ^^ You know and I know that Val is too nice to have a word with anyone in such a situation. Val, I reckon you should get yourself a tiny fan or heater and have it facing him. With luck, the cold/hot air will blow the smell back to him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny B Posted September 22, 2008 ^I think Starbucks IS the wrong refuge. Guys reeking of liac clone, girls reeking of self-pity. ps.. don't listen to Ibti n talk to the guy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oz Posted September 22, 2008 Originally posted by Ibtisam: Starbucks is Zionist. So I've heard. But it is impossible to resist their drinks. Also, I've heard Starbucks is a social gathering for Somali men living in America- I am only going by rumours. :confused: Maybe a Somaliaonline member can confirm or deny those rumours.

The last time I tried to buy a drink from there in Ramadan, the guy serving me gave me a look, told me he was fasting (like it's my fault inaan fasaxanahay or that he's working in a food establishment in Ramadan) and then advised I don't drink it in public. Honestly. NG - No, I told you I work on the third floor. Ibti - We work 'smartly' at my office. Meaning we don't have our own desks - I just set my laptop up at any vacant work space. Unfortunately, I sat opposite a right stinker this time round. (I know who to avoid next time tho, I'A.) PS: About Starbucks, I was never much of a fan, but free wifi is free wifi. You know?

Ibtisam Posted September 22, 2008 ^^^Loool Val, then all you have to do is come to work early, I mean early, everyone is going to want to avoid him. Sit in the opposit corner I'A. Get it yourself, mate. The last time I tried to buy a drink from there in Ramadan, the guy serving me gave me a look, told me he was fasting (like it's my fault inaan fasaxanahay or that he's working in a food establishment in Ramadan) and then advised I don't drink it in public. Honestly. Loool No way haha. lol. People are so fast! lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NGONGE Posted September 22, 2008 Aha! And there I was thinking you stood me up THAT day. (has a bet with himself). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny B Posted September 22, 2008 ^The only way to avoid him will be getting enough of 'malish' smell, hang on Ngonge on a visit to his Ugandan friend, you may appreciate your co-woker. The alternative is to go an invite tha polish cleaner every 30 minutes in your office-landscape. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NGONGE Posted September 22, 2008 Heh. I missed the bit about the Starbucks employee. Haha! Only you Val would get bullied by a bloody cashier. I hope (though I doubt it) you told him to mind his own business. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
