AIBU to be sick fed up of being faced with these childish drawings, they draw them in each other's notebooks, on notes left on desk etc. Just why?!!

I worked in the construction industry for 18 years and didn’t see this once!

In the building industry and saw no erections? What a flop Grin

phlirty · 30/10/2018 17:00

Sure they weren't drawing a pussy and got interrupted?

SilverHairedCat · 30/10/2018 17:14

@FekkoThePenguin they do, it's called "The Facebook Car" usually. But they're also excellent at drawing penises on anything that's left loafing.

I parked up behind an Asda delivery van which someone had drawn a cock and balls in the dirt. "Oh look Auntie" said my 8 year old niece, "Someone has drawn a space rocket on the back of that van and there's flames coming out if it".

@user34903583908 I'm in construction related work now. The word erection still makes me giggle. I struggle to keep a straight face when talking to scaffolders. It's a word of beauty.

In 46 years of work, I have never seen a dick drawing anywhere at work.

I feel deprived.

donajimena · 30/10/2018 17:22

I've only ever drawn one once. In high school the desks were littered with them. So in a particularly boring science lesson I thought I'd add to the collection. I was quite proud of my attempt at a phallus until I looked up to see my science teacher standing over me observing my 'art'. Blush
I have never seen one since leaving school
Definitely not in the workplace. I am referring to drawn ones. I have two children so have obviously seen a real one twice Wink

I drew a spurting cock with spunk tippex on my bosses birthday card today. He has a sense of humour.....

FaintyMcFainterton · 30/10/2018 17:25

It's just a bit of silly fun. Hurts no-one. Yes, it's immature, but jeez...fun will be banned if people like you have their way.

BackBoiler · 30/10/2018 17:25

I made gingerbread cocks and took them to work....my boss said he couldn't manage a full one so could he have a bollock.

BackBoiler · 30/10/2018 17:28

Draw one on the bathroom mirror after a shower. It will emergw when the next person showers

MissusLuciferMorningstar · 30/10/2018 17:29

Simply can't get het up by this... If the blokes from my department started doing this I think I'd realise they were actually human...

Love the drawings, keep 'em coming... Grin

@SilverHairedCat

OMG, I wouldn't last a day Grin

Ah, so you like the squirty ones, eh? Wink

I’ve been the only woman in two offices with not many men (Design industry) and dick drawings were commonplace to the point where it became pedestrian. Also forgot the obsession with flicking elastic bands at each other, farting in each other’s chairs, and chucking paper aeroplanes at each other.

whippetwoman · 30/10/2018 17:38

No dicks in my workplace, almost literally. I am a librarian. If you want to avoid dick picks OP then I suggest you move into the dynamic world of librarianship.

shapeshifter88 · 30/10/2018 17:39

can't believe anyone who works in construction hasnt seen one. I've delivered around 100 sites now and have never NOT seen them. they're drawn into the concrete before being covered and all over the walls before being painted . it's ridiculous and they do get told off EVERY god damn time

phlirty · 30/10/2018 17:55

No biology books, then? Wink

Henryismyfriend · 30/10/2018 17:57

Where I work I often have to ask a drunk and hilarious customer to sign for something.
At least once a week we have a cock and balls scenario.
They think it's amazing and obviously they're the first to do it and obviously it is going to embarrass me and make them look so good.....
"Ha ha do you like my signature?!"
"Yes Sir, you won't mind confirming your signature with the rather straight laced reception in the morning will you sir? When you're sober They have to match you see......."
"Can I have another one please...."

Fun for them and fun for me 😂

RomanyRoots · 30/10/2018 18:03

Can't say as it would bother me, as long as you don't take your kids to work with you.

My lads and dh draw moustaches and all sorts on magazine covers, if we ever have any.

FreddyFasbear · 30/10/2018 18:05

I wish my colleagues stuck at drawing cocks...

FreddyFasbear · 30/10/2018 18:07

We get this, and shit smeared liberally around the toilets

When out offices were being built the builders painted expletives on the walls of our floor, including one which indicated (with a handy arrow) where they would dedicate.

They painted over it all but took a photo and stuck it on the wall... Where everyone could see it... Including the (very high profile) architect and our company directors on a site visit...

You can't beat a cock and balls as graffiti

A 17th-century scrawl on a fresco is a reminder that, for 2,000 years, men have enjoyed this simply rendered act of rebellion
