Bebemoche's "What Lines Not To Use In Your Office" Tally

There are many people in the world who lack originality. However, I was surprised to find that even in a firm full of such talented young people there is significant overlap in the lines being used for office flirting / pickup attempts.

As a service to the pathetic and unoriginal men everywhere, I will keep a tally of said lines and how many times they are unknowingly used on me in my office by different men. Let this be a lesson to you, dear readers - do not by any means consider incorporating these into your MO.

Line 1: "You must be following me around"
Believe it or not, there are reasons for me to actually leave my desk during working hours. Just because I happened to cross your path on my way to the ladies room does not mean that I am tracking your whereabouts.

Notable usage: Someone actually said this to me when they walked into a room where I was sitting down and having coffee, with another man I might add.

Line 2:
Bebemoche: " What are you doing in the office today?"
Perp: "Well of course, I came back early to see you."
Bebemoche: " No, what are you really doing in the office today?"

Notable usage: Any usage of this lame-ass line is notable. This is really pathetic, although I suppose it does have a certain old-school charm about it.
