I don't intend this to sound sexist as I know that it does not reflect upon all women; I worked in a office where there were only two other men. One had been there 14 years and had just sort of learned to keep quiet, he was defeated. The other man was gay, he was a little bit bitchy but in a funny way and he was actually my best friend there. Aside from me only ever hearing about babies, diets, holidays and X-factor - they were just so two faced and bitchy about each other, it was unreal.
They were never anything but nice to me and I got along very well with them but I couldn't help but feel that they were slabbering about me behind my back..especially because I did probably give them good reason to slabber due to me coming in on the etiz most days for a few months.
