This is strange behaviour?

Tbh I find it quite funny and I'm not upset by it but just thought it was odd as I wouldn't do it. Guess it's a compliment.
I was sitting at my desk and a colleague commented on my hair looking nice. I had plaited it. As that person got up to get drinks, the girl beside me quickly plaited her hair too. Half a hour later the girl who complimented me turned around and said oh you both have the same hair. I just sat and laughed and the girl beside me got a bit flustered and was like oh hot chocolate has done hers better and tried to change the subject 😂 very odd.

Anybody got any funny workplace stories to liven up my Thursday night?

Maybe the woman next to you is interested in the other woman and was trying to get her attention?

You're going to get flamed for calling women girls. 🙄 Personally I like being called a girl.

She's getting married to a man in a week's time so doubt that.
Getting flamed for that really? 😂

Yup, sometime will come along and say something like, "where do you live where they let girls get married?" Something snarky like that.

I noticed that posters on here don't like the girl/woman thing. How about lady, would they like to be called that I wonder?

Delurking to say I like girl too. I hate saying/being called lady, don't know why, just makes me cringe a bit. Woman sounds old to me and I'm 48 so hanging on to youth by my fingertips.

So any one got any funny work stories?

No funny stories but I finished up today until 8th January. It's been a long hard slog the past couple of months with staff on long term sick so really need this break.

Not work story but I did click on the thread wondering if it was going to be a neighbour of mine wondering wtf I am doing

Also delurking to confess, I also say "girls"! If someone calls me a lady or a woman a small piece of me dies and I gain a grey hair.

My co-worker gets numbers wrong, his first language isn`t english,yesterday he asked the manager if he could take the 71st of December off work

I also prefer to be called a "girl" as it makes me feel young(i`m the wrong side of 50)

I’ve found my people! Girl for me too.

OP, I have a copycat story too. I used to be a teacher and one year I was praised in a staff meeting for how I’d written my end-of-year reports. In September, I was looking for some information on a child in my new class and had a look at his previous report. As I was reading, it slowly dawned on me that I was reading my own words. His previous teacher had copied one of the reports from my old class almost word-for-word, just changed the name and added some individual targets. I went through some more of her reports and every single one was copied from my class. Very odd. (Obviously I reported it to my team leader)

where do you live where they let girls get married

Ah I'm glad I'm not the only one who prefers girl too. She's early 20s so would be odd calling her a lady.
71st off 😂 bless him!
boswell that would have annoyed me! What did your team leader say?
