One of the questions that has been on my mind recently is that why do people at work feel that our sole purpose in existing is listening to their problems? Yes, I understand that as humans, it is our fundamental right of existence to complain but no one said anything about enduring the relentless complaining of others.
I don't solely come to work so I can listen to someone whine about their life (be it their pets, their lack of love life, marriage, kids, family, etc). Granted that sometimes listening to this makes me realize how lucky I am and how minuscile my problems/issues are compared to these other individuals but GIVE ME A BREAK!! I don't want to listen to all of this before I have had a chance to drink my morning coffee.
Why can't someone send a memo to all offices across the world instructing everyone on how not to annihlate their co-workers sanity? I don't think it makes for a very productive work enviornment when all you really want to do is sit your co-worker down and introduce them to the health benefits offered by your organization for 'mental health'? The aforementioned is on a good day; lets just not go to what one would like to do on a bad day....we will save that for another time.

I can totally relate to what you're saying, your colleagues are people you deal with at work, they're not friends that you can share all of your feelings with!
Friends agree to care about what's going on with your life because they CHOSE to be your friend; your co-workers just have to deal with you to make an honest living!
Personally, I love coming to work and making people suffer hearing about my pets and the fungus between my toes1 =)
I don't understand, isn't that workplace is for?!
Where else will I go? Surely, I can't do that at home, then I'll have to find another place to watch TV, and then I'll have to find another place to do what I do at the place where I end up watching TV. At the end I will end up getting massages at work, and THAT is just not right for the co-workers.
Haha!
Great Master: Please shed some light on how does one go about finding a job where they offer massages at work?
