Is there a part of the unwritten rules of good-natured teasing I missed?

The 'rules' are totally random though I suspect that it has some bearing on the degree of relationship you have with the other person. It also comes down to people's expectations they have of you.


Rule #1
- Doesn't work with gilrs unless you are one too, or really good freinds. It's more of a guy thing from what I know, I have much experience. I know someone who calls everyone fat.

I don't know about that. Girls usually like guys who have a smart-alecky side and tend to stray away from ones that are always nice. But yeah, weight is a subject matter I'd stay away from with girls.

I've often had problems in being able to tell when another person was teasing me.

There is a situation where I work now that is getting very irritating. There are 3 or 4 women who make up really dirty jokes and go on about their sex lives. I don't want to know about it and often walk out or mutter to myself.

It is getting to the point where I am considering making a complaint to the boss but then they might suspect I made the complaint. I can't ask them not to do it as they are the kind of people who would then do it even more to stir me up.

I got myself ear-buds to listen to CDs at my workstation, but they really hurt my ears after a little while. I spoke to another lady about it (she is 2nd in rank to the boss) and she said she has had to walk away sometimes when they go on with their stupid comments and that maybe I should say something to the boss.

I'm thinking about it because the situation is really getting too much for me and they ought to be doing their work instead of goofing off.
