Just a whole lot of babbling nonsense…

I think my new supervisor is starting to get frustrated with my coworkers.

I’m holing up at my desk here with my head down low and Toto’s Africa blasting through my speakers, when I hear the supe making the classic mistake of asking a coworker who goes by the nickname of The Mouth a question.

About 30 seconds pass and he’s already raising his voice trying to get through all the babbling so he could get a straight answer:

“I’m trying to understand why they didn’t call us back on this-”

“Babble babble babble babble babble babble babble babble babble babble babble babble babble babble babble babble babble babble babble babble babble babble babble babble….”

“But that doesn’t answer my question, I just want to know why they-” “Babble babble babble babble babble babble babble-” “No, I understand-” “Babble babble babble babble babble-” “No no, why didn’t they-” “Babble babble babble babble babble babble-” “You’re not hearing me, I just need to find out why-” “Babble babble babble babble babble babble babble babble-”

The last time I saw him he was in his cubicle corner, his head down low and a Van Halen tune cranked up high.

Spend a little time here and you’ll start to understand why the saner among us don’t use desk speakers powered by less than 400 watts.

Maybe you need to play that song, “You Talk Too Much” by RunDMC, whenever The Mouth comes near. If enough of you do it, they might get the hint. :hifi: :giggle:

If he’s silly enough to force an employee to justify the actions(or in this case non-actions) of others, he deserves to get babbled at. How would the mouth know why “they” didn’t call you back? :whistle:
