To be fed up of colleague talking about her holiday?

[LauraKaren]

That happened 4 years ago!

She even got me over to her computer to show me her itinerary

I can be happy for people and when they come back from holiday I of course want to hear about it, see photos etc

BUT when they’ve been banging on about it for the 2 years I’ve kmown them and it wasn’t even recent then, aibu to just want to scream - shut up already!

Was it Maui?

omg can't believe the op hasn't even bothered to tell us where she went after all her complaining!!

OP could you at least pass on her details as we'd all like to hear about her holiday.

Watch it be somewhere like Tenerife!

Is she a cruise bore? I used to work with one of those. She even joined Facebook groups with people going on the same cruise so they could talk about the cruise before and after. And every conversation was about the latest cruise, how her daughter was going to be exchanging gifts with the other kids on board(?), what activities were happening etc.

Actually this is the first thread or posting from this poster so perhaps a

So I get a biscuit just for being a first time poster regardless of what I posted. How lovely and welcoming

But, but..... Where did she go?!

Did she go to the South Pole?

It doesn’t matter where she went, I’ve been there myself.

I’m not posting it just to out myself. Surely we shouldn’t be posting identifying things on here if we don’t want to be recognised?

Oh please tell where she went!

I don’t think you can whinge unless you explain where she went / otherwise this is just a complete waste of time, surely?

I don't think posting where a colleague went on holiday 4 years ago, especially if it's nothing special will out you!

Maybe she keeps showing you as you've been there too and it's something you've got in common / something to talk about with you.

Out yourself? Seriously
If she's been on holiday since its clearly a destination she feels is interesting and that she really enjoyed. If you're not going to say where it is then it's impossible to say whether she is being unreasonable or not and the thread is bloody pointless

Oh FFS. Why post on here at all? Now EVERYBODY KNOWS you work with someone who bangs on about her holidays. Totes identifiable.

Was it her honeymoon and she went to Maui?

Unless her holiday was to outer space then it's not outing.

That’s a shame, she’s obviously not had much since to compare to it! Can see why it’s annoying to you though.

Honestly, WTF is the point of this thread. Have my very first .

Oh FFS. Why post on here at all?

Oh look. The Thread Police have arrived. Surely the holiday destination is irrelevant when the point of the thread is that no one gives a shit about someone else's holiday that they went on 4 years ago.

Dmil, and she really is d (it’s not a milbashing post) was telling me about a friend’s hospital appointments including the Drs name I caught it and wondered whether it was a mutual dr but no, she was telling me the drs name and her friend had told her his name . I can’t imagine knowing that level of detail about anyone’s but my toddler children’s dr!

Ahh I used to work with someone like this, she would go on for weeks (or months!) about how great her holidays were. She’d make a point of changing her desktop background to photos from her trips, steer conversations back to her personal holiday stories regardless of context, and constantly due ‘throw back Thursday’ type memories on fb etc.

It was infuriating! So dull and became a bit of a running joke in the office. But then one night we were all out for work drinks and she had a few too many and started talking about her next trip. My eyes started to glaze over as usual, but then she drunkenly started talking about how dull/boring she finds her life, and her holidays are the only time she feels she’s the person she wants to be living the life she wants to have. I felt quite sorry for her after that..

Of course it matters!!! It gives context FFS

Oh...@sparklesocks. That's quite touching.
