mrcharlie Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I agree with wise owl. Manners cost nothing. So, if someone says. "Morning" with a smile you feel comfortable just blanking them!! Autism or not it's downright arrogant. Hope your colleagues read this and decide to blank you first. What a miserable conceited person you sound.

RickyM Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Why not just say 'Hello' or 'Good morning' and if they blank you the second time........no longer acknowledge them? There's nothing wrong with a 'Hello' as it can help establish rapport when it's needed later on. Don't be short sighted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You obviously know nothing about people on the Autism spectrum. Apart from this, I agree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcharlie Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 You obviously know nothing about people on the Autism spectrum. Apart from this, I agree with you. Maybe....maybe not I recently changed my job at work and my new supervisor is exactly like this!! He supposedly suffers Autism. Every morning I arrive at work, bright eyed and bushy tailed and every morning do I say "Morning" and never once has he replied. In the beginning I'd repeat myself... But louder! Made no difference. He's without doubt the most miserable tw#t I've ever had to work with. No people skills whatsoever - so how the hell he became a supervisor baffles me. The fact that it's common knowledge he constantly views porn both on his phone and in his locker, never had a girlfriend and still lives with mum and dad makes me realise he's nowt but a mamas boy......autism or not!! So if you want to be viewed and worse regarded as a loner and basically odd!! Then go right ahead and blank people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not talking the 3rd page! nor is it Pirelli!! I'm no prude, but c'mon add it all together and the guy's just weird. I can get on with anybody - but this one's made a rock for his own back!

You were getting your pictures from the wrong transmitter:) Those of us from Dinnington all have porn lockers now. We use them for storing our hover boots.

taxman Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 It is awkward. What do you do if you've sat next to someone for three hours in the morning and conversed normally about what they did over the weekend and work stuff but then you are suddenly walking down The Moor at lunchtime and they are walking towards to you. You can't blank them as you've been sat next to them all morning. What's the point of saying hello, you've been talking to them all morning. No point in stopping for chat....usually it's just an awkward nod then walk on. Ex colleagues it's easier, stop and pass the time of day, ask how things are going etc Vague people who work in same building as me...I usually pretend the sun is in my eyes or I've just got a text message.
