I was on the receiving end of MonkEE's conversation. Sort of. My boss just hung up the phone with his wife and hollered across the office for me to get something off the printer for him. He ended it with, "Thanks, babe."

My ex and I have a great relationship with each other adn pretty much always part with a hug n kiss and "Love you". This always befuddles one of the ladies at the bank. Everytime it happens with her around we go through this.... "You two getting back together?" "No" "But you kissed her..?" "Yep" "So you're getting back together?" "Nope" "But you said you love her" "I do" "So you're getting back together" "Nope" "You two are weird!"

She's cool enough I suspect she just rolls with it, and probably confidant that she's got a tight hold on you/can whoop up on the ex if needed, but still sounds like something that might get you in trouble

Valid question. My relationship with my Ex is a known factor up front. So anyone that has a problem with it has the opportunity to bail immediately. She is cool with the ex. Just like I am cool with the ex's other half. The four of us go do stuff occasionally.

One of my finer moments was then I ended a call with a coworker with "love you, bye." Ugh, that's so awkward! And I've only done that like 10 times with 3 different female co-workers. Awkwardness level increased exponentially the one time I said it on the phone to a male friend by mistake. Him: Talk to you later, dude. Me: Alright. Love you. S___. I mean, f___. Him: [Laughter] Me: Shut the h___ up you ____.

The four of us go do stuff occasionally. No comment! Not "Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice" stuff. Like taking the kids to the amusement park or all of us having dinner somewhere. We cant take you anywhere Matt.

FedEx drops off package on my front step, addressed to next-door neighbor. Don’t know her number. Walk it over. Knock on door three times, no answer. Place package on porch, walk away. Door opens. Say, “Oh, I just wanted to let you know you got a package.” Neighbor scoops it up, looks at it, looks up and says, “Oh. Um. Okay.” Me, “Okay, bye.” Door shuts.
Halfway back home, realization goes ding: Because of how I phrased it, she thinks FedEx put it on her porch, that my visit was solely to point that out. This implies a considerable amount of watching her house.

I got invited to one of those "Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice" events. Unfortunately, Carol, Ted, and Alice were all involved in the pre-planning and I was the last to be invited to the party. But hey, Carol and I parted on good terms shortly thereafter (It was super awkward, as I knew the other two well. Trying to bring things back to the thread topic )
