Re: No matter where i put my coffee cup down at work
I think it's little crap like this that get people thinking "they are after them"...

I swear when I go outside there is always like some random car the pulls up in front of me and just idles there. I know this is all in my head but it seems to happen at an unreasonable frequency.

Lol I’m not saying it’s a big deal but when it happens enough you notice it it’s kind of odd
 Quoting: Geraldgar


I deliberately put my cup where people arent located as to not keep it where people could breathe their morning germs all in it. It almost never fails. Sometimes i will move my cup 5-6 times in a 1 hour period and people will still end up hovering over it! Sooooo weeeiiirrdd mann
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74081842


How about this one... before I was married I noticed whenever I would start dating someone all the chicks that were always “out of my league” would suddenly start paying attention to me, saying nice things, going out of their way to talk to me... flirting.. then break up and like magic they vanish.

Re: No matter where i put my coffee cup down at work
People fucking flock to the area and hover their unbrushed mouth right over my fucking cup.


I could put it on the 2nd level shelf and all of a sudden someone brings over a step stool and holds a conversation while searching for something right next to my cup.



The question is: Am I causing this to happen due to subvonscious expectation affecting reality via law of attraction


Or is this just a long string of very unlikely consistent hive-mind behavioral patterns at my place of employment?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74081842


I think you're a little OCD. Most stuff we come in contact doesn't harm us. Some stuff is worth taking precautions over, but unless Ebola is going around your office, I don't think protecting your coffee cup is worth it.

The best way to counter this is to lay a cable in your mug, and just let it sit next to your monitor for a few days.

The scent will work its magic, naturally repelling your colleagues.

Lay a cable?

Maybe we can somehow set a trap that knocks over the coffee cup when a hidden laser is obstructed from making contact with the reviving end and you can blame the offender for getting too close to your coffee

Get one of those cups with a lid. There's ceramic ones.

Lots of beer and steamed broccoli. When the hoverers approach, just squeak out an SBD. After a few of those, they'll stop bothering you.

Re: No matter where i put my coffee cup down at work
Where do I work?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74081842


Healthcare?

It doesn't matter what I eat, it's always a BFD. I couldn't care less what people eat and I would feel like an ass if I acted like them. It's like I'm eating cow brains and hog balls or something. Then if it's something they like, their fingers are in it.

I've been told they're doing it because they know it bothers me, but it was going on for years at different jobs even before it finally started to piss me off.

Re: No matter where i put my coffee cup down at work
You have magnetic attraction, same as me. I'll go to the grocery store and see an aisle with nobody in it. I'll start going down the aisle and suddenly 6 to 8 shoppers will round the corner in front of and behind me and next thing I know I'm blocked in.

I'll go to a buffet, everyone will be sitting down eating, I'll go to put something on my plate and ten people will stand up, walk over and stand next to me grabbing the same thing I'm getting.

I'll be driving down the road coming to a 4-way stop with nobody there. As soon as I pull up 5 cars are there wanting to turn in front of me.

It's been happening pretty much my whole life.

Re: No matter where i put my coffee cup down at work
Actually... this is how we are taught lessons

It happens all the time but people go through life unawares and so many opportunities are missed.

How it works...

The same problem, event or obstacle will present itself repeatedly



Level 1 - Pay attention to internal and external environment

Level 2 - Become aware of any obstacles

Level 3 - Actively seek a solution.

Level 4 - Apply solution



Apparently...moving your cup does not fix the problem.

Think of a better solution and actually apply it.

Once you've solved this problem...there will be another obstacle that will eventually present itself


Part of the lesson is being aware and actively SEEKING knowledge and ideas and applying what you've learned

The vast majority go through life on auto-pilot and completely miss these recurring events. And the few who do see them dismiss them as happenstance.

Apply your solution and the pattern will stop occurring..

I know it sounds woo-woo. But anyone paying attention will start to see beyond the "coincidences"
