I have this ‘condition’ of sorts. A friend once coined it “verbal diarrhea” – the ability to just let shit flow out of my mouth without being able to stop it. The other day, I had a pretty funny occurrence of the VD verbal diarrhea.

The scene:

I was sitting at my desk at work, Natalie was sitting in the cubicle next to mine and Speakerphone Asshole and John (my boss’ boss) were standing nearby talking. Speakerphone Asshole and John had just come back from a webinar on social media, a discussion of things like Twitter and Facebook.

SA: I want to join Facebook too!
John: I think everyone wants to join now.
SA: And Twitter, let’s all join so that I can Tweet you.
John: [something inaudible]
SA: We can become Twits!
Me [unable to stop myself]: Become?

Natalie immediately burst out laughing and didn’t stop for a few minutes. I’m pretty sure Speakerphone Asshole heard me as he was well within earshot. He didn’t acknowledge it though.

I do try to keep the condition in check, but that opportunity to zing Speakerphone Asshole was just too good to pass up.
