I worked in a team last year and we were really close and always had a laugh together.

It wasn't a great job though so eventually we have all left now. It's been a year since we all met up as a group as one of them went travelling and so did I.

We finally settled on a date for our team night reunion. I was then told that two other people were invited. They worked in the same building but I barely knew them. Up until that point it was always just our team who were going.

Aibu to feel a little annoyed?

You do know all that team stuff is complete wank dreamt up by management gurus to make people think their jobs are important, right?

Why are people finding it hard to believe we were a team. We were the only ones who worked in that department.

The extra people worked in a completely different department.

Ok then bye!

I also never said my job was important. It was a pile of shit.

And yet, we still don't know how many are going, and who invited those other people and their reasons for it.

wonders if the OP is an AI in testing

No at this point it's more funny withholding Grin

Maybe I'll throw in a giant drip feed too

WalterMittyish · 21/05/2015 19:29

Oh, I've been waiting for the massive drip feed since page 2 Wink

Lweji · 21/05/2015 19:30

I think we'll have to employ clever interrogation techniques.

Who's up for good cop?

LineRunner · 21/05/2015 19:31

Ooh yes, like the team is four maverick cops and the other two are from Internal Affairs.

It will be moyder.

hangoversally · 21/05/2015 19:31

The two extras are escaped convict drug dealers.

Lweji · 21/05/2015 19:33

So, you were a team in jail? Hmm

No wonder the job was shit.

hangoversally · 21/05/2015 19:34

No they were sentenced after I left hence the escaped part.

They were caught selling meth behind the fag shelter

Damnit, I didn't even have that on my 'drip feed bingo card'.

My money was on them being UKIP voters. UKIP voters on benefits, perhaps.

I know how you're feeling but it's something not to be expressed to other people because you will look silly.

I remember a work night out with a close -knit team where a woman who vaguely knew someone in our team invited herself because she wanted to apply to work in our team in the future.

I didn't like her AT ALL and in a childish way hated that she was with out with 'my' team and talking to 'my' friends. She was also quite obviously rude to me.

Fast forward a few months and she got a job in our team. I hated the idea of it. Really hated it!.

She joined the team and was actually a lovely person and became a good friend.

So I understand where you're coming from not wanting an 'interloper' on a night out. I didn't either but knew I'd look a precious and possessive knobber if i'd have told anyone that!.

Go along, enjoy the night. You might make a friend.

WalterMittyish · 21/05/2015 19:40

But they're escaped drug dealers, Always!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OP, just too the rozzers off with the address of the restaurant - the escapees will be re-arrested, you get your team all the yourself, and justice will be served: win/win!

alwaysstaytoolong · 21/05/2015 19:41

Escaped meth dealers?. Escaped from where?.

Then I'd definitely invite them. I've tried most drugs but am a bit too old to have been in the meth scene.

It looks really moreish though and I'm sure my skin wouldn't fall off straight away so I'd give it a go.

WalterMittyish · 21/05/2015 19:41

*tip the rozzers off

Houdini-like meth dealers.

Don't try meth unless you want to lose your teeth and look like a leper.
Eventually.

I read earlier today that there is a new drug on the market.

So, out of fashion dealers. Probably why they were caught. The only customers were the plain clothes coppers.

alwaysstaytoolong · 21/05/2015 20:04

Lweji - but teeth only fall out and skin falls off (or picked off) if you just try it once?.

There is nothing about meth, which has decimated entire communities in the US to suggest it's properly addictive though? Nor that it permanently alters your brain chemistry?.Grin

Breaking Bad makes it look proper glamorous and in no way would I end up pushing a pram full of shoplifted meat products to sell in the pub.

Lweji · 21/05/2015 20:08

Eventually

Yeah, I'm sure it's safe. Those meth addicts just don't brush their teeth and obviously don't shower enough.

alwaysstaytoolong · 21/05/2015 20:14

Well exactly Lweji - I reckon those addicts who go to prison and/or have their children taken into care just can't be arsed to sort themselves out and poor personal and oral hygiene was just a symptom of their apathy.

Those 'faces of meth' websites are probably photoshopped. Like the Kardashians.

ImTerryWogan · 21/05/2015 20:21

I'm always the person that invites the extras...

Team Wogan must be secretly furious at me.

LineRunner · 21/05/2015 20:33

I invite extras as well. I'm of the 'kill two birds' way of thinking. It only went tits up twice in three decades. As in blood and stuff.
