Understanding the Cubicle Male
***
The Cubicle Male will often be spotted treading the well marked path to the coffee machine. Like many of his species, the Cubicle Male will often arrive at the coffee machine to join a queue of others already at the scene.
***
N: Great. This is going to take forever.
Q: I know. Why does everybody need coffee right now?
N: There’s about fifteen other people ahead of us!
***
In normal circumstances, such crowds often disperse as each member quickly fills the company provided coffee-drinking-facilitating utensil and leaves. However, there are exceptions.
***
N: We haven’t moved an inch in five minutes. What’s taking so long?
Q: I don’t know. I can’t see the machine from here.
N: They better not be out of coffee.
***
Notice how the Cubicle Male shows an increased level of aggression and frustration at the delay. Delays caused by fellow Cubicle Companions have a very low tendency to be tolerated.
***
N: Did that guy just cut-in the line? Hey! You! Back of the line, buddy. Bunch of #$%@^.
Q: Yeah get some sense of professionalism! Jerk!
***
However, there are exceptions too.
***
Q: Is that B?
N: (sigh) Yes it is. She looks great today.
Q: As always.
N: Did she just cut-in line too?
Q: It’s okay we can’t look at her if she’s behind us.
