Bounce

You know what I dislike.

People who say "I am going to bounce a few ideas off of you." OR people who bounce ideas off other people.

Here is why,

I once had a co worker (who I won't name but her or she probably frequents my blog every now and then so they'll know)
who use to burst into my cubicle with a bouncy ball and was like "Ok Aditi I am going to bounce a few ideas off of you."
Then he would bounce his bouncy ball off the side of my cube and tell me things. Like how he was going to go about his presentation or how he was planning on writing a some emails. A few times I'd interject and he'd totally disregard what I would say. He would respond, "Oh well I am not sure what exactly I am going to do, I am just bouncing ideas off of you."

This would really annoy me because he would waste a lot of my time just bouncing. A few times I'd even say "Hey, I am actually in the middle of something right now, can we do this later?" and he'd be like "Oh, its no big deal. You can continue what you're doing I am going to just talk a loud."

Then he would stand by my cube and talk aloud, distracting me.

After all these unsettling experiences I've come to despise people who like bouncing ideas. If I am confused or not sure how to order events I write them down OR I talk aloud TO MYSELF. I don't waste other people's time. I think people who BOUNCE ideas are selfish and insecure (these are my generalizations). You don't think your ideas are wonderful but at the same time you don't want anyone to say something mean about them. So you "bounce" and watch peoples facial reactions to your stupid ideas...bc lets face it any idea being bounced is stupid. If you were confident in your idea you wouldnt be throwing it up against people.

So moral of the story. Don't bounce your lame ideas off of me cause I'll give you disgusting mean angry looks.
