AIBU thinking some people are too up themselves?

[MotherofDragons48]

Having worked in an office for several years I have noticed a peculiar habit emerging. When going to speak to a Co worker, I noticed some people tend to kneel down beside the person they're talking to and give the impression that they are discussing something really important and confidential? I know in some cases it may well be but in others.... I couldn't help overhearing the discussion about what biscuits to order 🤔😂😂😂 These people will go out of their way to look important and it makes me want to just tell them to get a grip 😂
Also noticed an overuse of the word 'support'? A colleague sent an email out full of phrases such as 'push back' and other buzz words with the title 'do you support this'? ' I was cringing as it didn't really say anything but called for a meeting to be held to discuss who' supports'which department?
Just can't help thinking some people are just fannying around instead of getting on with the job! Sorry rant over...

I kneel down because if I lean forward I'll put my back out and if I stand up I can't see your screen or documents that I probably need to.

I pull up a chair rather than kneeling down. I'm old & creaky so if I kneel down I struggle to get up - which isn't very dignified.

The whole time I was reading this, I couldn't help but think of the IT Crowd, especially the Monday Friday meeting .

How's this for wanky... my boss doesn't pass work to me, she throws it over the fence... ffs!

I would squat down to talk to pupils so I could hear them and lip read.

Corporate speak is wanky though.

I particularly hate use of "myself" when meaning me and not the relflexive.

@Doingtheboxerbeat I need to revisit that show! 🤣

I k ell down too, purely a laziness/hearing thing and also because I'm short I'm used to looking up at people when I speak to them, looking down feels weird 😂

@Sunshineangel I have plenty to do at work but today is Saturday and I'm not working today. As far impacting goes, it doesn't so much impact, just find it a bit wanky unless someone has a physical reason to do it. Obviously we can't all be the same and some are more opposed to the idea of talking to a penis than others... Which is fine 😁

I hate 'reaching out' too. In my mind, it conjures up an image of someone standing with their arms outstretched wailing 'come to me'!
