Coworker over-share

I have this one odd coworker that often seems to overshare oddly personal information. Such as this exchange that just happened. Her: Christin, I used some of your coffee creamer! Don't kill me! Me: okay coworker! I may beat you, but I promise not to leave any visible bruises! Tee hee. Her: I had an ex-husband that did that! Me: oh. Um. Enjoy the coffee.

Re: Coworker over-share

  • Whoops. 

    I have a co-worker who talks incessantly about Dancing With the Stars. If we are eating lunch at the same time I excuse myself and take my lunch to my desk. If I have to hear about Dancing with the Stars one more time this week I may dance off a cliff.

  • Christin, I sincerely hope you followed that up with a knock knock joke.

  • I watch a lot of nature shows (not really), and I think I know what's happening here.  In nature, some animals have highly visible things that keep other animals from making the mistake of getting near them.  Porcupines have quills, armadillos have that plated armor, snakes and spiders are just freaky looking.  All of this sends the message, "Run away from me!" 

    Humans are more varied, and not all have an outward appearance that notifies you to stay away.  So sometimes you need a signal to not bother talking or getting to know someone.  Her oversharing is your signal.  You should thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster for making her that way so that you don't invest any more time associating with this drama magnet.

  • You should keep "I ate a sesame seed from my keyboard" and "I stole my sister's Chili's giftcard" in your back pocket as standby retorts.
