Whenever you're in a group with somebody you don't like and he starts yaking about stupid shit, you just look at him, sigh, put on your headphones, and walk away.

Can´t stand it. Makes me feel stupid. Tarantino hit the nail on the head in Pulp Fiction with: Mia: Don't you hate that? Vincent: What? Mia: Uncomfortable silences. Why do we feel it's necessary to yak about bullshit in order to be comfortable? Maybe that´s the reason why I only "yak about bullshit" in order to not feel stupid, but it only makes things worse, cuz people end up thinking that I´m stupid thanks to all the bullshit that comes out of my mouth. (Ask all the people that know about the first impression the had of me.) But I found out a good way to avoid uncomfortable silence; wear headphones. I just can´t leave my house without my trusty disc-man. It helps me to avoid all the small talk I might end up having with people in elevators, bus stops, movie lines, etc. Fuck, my brain´s busted. Got no more to say. That´s what happen when you´re a "first time caller, long time listener". Also being kinda drunk doesn´t help. I fucking hate uncomfortable silences. Can´t stand it.

True as fucking hell. Riding on the subway on a hot saturday is like getting punched in the nose by an angry turd. Repeatedly.

Check it out, I am in the bus with a friend, the bus is getting pack, and the silence is present you know, I am sweating balls and the bus is getting packed and packed, anyway this chinese guy gets in the bus, everything is fine till he smiled and showed me that M&M smile, but the problem is that motherfucker is not eating no chocolate. Now everytime my friend says "please Lee give a smile" i cry. Thank you Lee.

I guess if enough people realized they're better off not leaving this particular month then August would just be a regular month, and that would suck for me... ;) I mean, tourist shit is open, but for office workers, it’s hell or high water, “I HAVE TO GET OUT OF THIS PLACE!”.

I wish, we had something like that. I just came back from vacations. 5 days off spent 2 on a plane. I was lucky two get that. Anyway enjoy the tourist and the space at the office. Get Inga und Helga out to a bar. That rest area sounds really nice. I wish, we had something like that. I just came back from vacations. 5 days off spent 2 on a plane. I was lucky two get that.

On the other hand, asking for vacations out of season is the best you can do....even here it works... I wish I had that kind of rest area at work….

As I understand it France works on the same principles and takes vacation also during August. I dont know about England. I find it fascinating, provocative (who wouldnt love it), but on the other hand, I dont understand how a country, nevermind a continent, can function properly when about half of its workforce goes AWOL for a month. Having worked most of my life in the slavish american system where vacation is something you take once every three years for a week or two at most and that is IF, it just doesnt compute in my wee brain. There must be tons of tourists that go to Europe to shop and stuff, and then realize in horror "Hey, everything is closed!!". What a pisser. Where do all these people go to? What happens if I refuse to take my vacations and just continue to come to work? Does this continent-wide vacation coincide with the kids school vacation? I'll make note in my little black book of evil that if I ever decide to take over the world I should do it in August since it seems I would get minimal opposition from Europe at least. F it.
