To think this is the most immature behaviour ever witnessed?

[Diamondeye]

Had a big conference at work in a different location and they organised a bus for us.

Two of my colleagues are clearly having an affair. I sat next to female colleague who is my friend on the bus.

Male colleague then sat there in a sulk for the entire 15 minute journey all because he wanted to sit next to her,

I felt like I was transported back to being a 6 year old on a school trip

Obvious work affairs are pretty gross.

Two of my colleagues are clearly having an affair

You know or assume this?

They are having an affair.

That's the most immature behaviour ever witnessed. Have you led a sheltered life?

Did you deliberately sit next to your friend in order that they could not sit together? In which case that is also rather immature!

Are you cool with your friend having an affair?!

A man in his 30s sulking because he couldn’t sit next to someone on a 15 minute bus journey?

I grew up in Venice LA so no sheltered life for me thanks.

Your friend is the one having the affair? Is that what you mean?

Childish of him to take the huff I suppose but nowhere near as bad as "clearly" flaunting their affair in their place of work

Did you deliberately sit next to your friend in order that they could not sit together? In which case that is also rather immature!

No she’s my friend, I got on the bus and just sat next to her.

Are you cool with your friend having an affair?!

No I don’t approve but it’s also none of my business. I gave her my opinion and advice and I let her decide what to do with it.

I once managed a neurotypical grown man who, when asked to do a task that was in his job description, threw himself on the floor and had a full blown, hands and feet drumming the ground, toddler tantrum. So a man having a bit of a sulk pales into comparison IME.

TheTit I'm lost for words.

hahaha that's funny!

I am not sure I would have sat next to someone if I knew they would rather be with someone else though, and maybe she didn't dare telling you the seat was reserved.

But yes, immature is the right word.

TheTitOfTheIceberg
surely he got sacked for that!

If you know they are in a relationship why did you sit with your friend? Didn’t it occur to you they might like some time together? It made you a bit of a gooseberry.

He got a written warning DHhas but it wasn't gross misconduct as per the company's rules. He was very immature and took a lot of managing!

All these people saying they wanted to be together... They're on a 15 minute bus ride to a work event with Sharon from reception in the row behind and Hairy Phil from IT in front.

It's not a romantic mini break in the Cotswolds

When you say 'affair' do you mean that one or both of them are married or otherwise already spoken for? I wouldn't be doing anything to help that along, personally.

How do you know he was sulking?

Oh do tell us their names…

I had a similar experience @Tit. A very senior manager who literally stamped his foot and screamed when told what he wanted wasn’t possible. How we laughed when he left the office.

we once walked down a coastal path behind a family having what was clearly the Last Holiday Before the Divorce. Child 1 was carrying a fishing net and grumbling; Child 2 was hauling a bucket and spade. Child 1's grumbles got louder and louder until the father grabbed the net off him, yelled, 'So don't carry it then, Thomas!' or similar, dumped it over the fence into a field and stormed off. The poor mother looked at us in despair and said, 'Oh dear.' I wanted to hug her.

I love a good mantrum story! haven't witnessed one myself

I also want to know whether it's an affair as in one or both are cheating on their partners? Or is it just a relationship they're keeping secret to avoid work place gossip? Either way the strop was immature.

How do you know, did he say he wanted to sit next to her?

Did you refuse and say 'na na na na na' ?

Maybe he'd had some bad news. Maybe he felt ill.
