Toying With The Annoying

Coworker: *looking down at his phone* “Ugh. My friend’s been texting me every day to hang out, but I don’t want to.”

Me: “Why not?”

Coworker: “Well, he’s annoying, and he’s also oblivious about it. He never seems to realize that we’re annoyed.”

Me: “If you feel that way, why don’t you just stop being friends with him?”

Coworker: “No, no. I don’t want to stop being friends with him… I just want to never see him again.”
