I share my office with a young guy in his 20's and a woman in her 40's. Over the last few months the little bit of flirty banter has been building up, and now seems at the point where they are struggling to keep their hands off each other.
I'm up for a laugh, and can see the appeal of cougars, but sitting in the middle of it is making me feel awkward. I always feel in the way, but I'm just trying to do my job.
Before you say that I'm just jealous, I am not. I'm in a happy long term relationship and have told my g/f about this and she just laughs it off, saying "I'm sure you have done worse". "Let them have fun".
Now approaching my 30's am I just getting old??

Nothing worse when you're trying to keep your head down than some dippy cow and her pretend toy boy bristling with endless inane banter bullsh*t.
I wouldn't be so annoyed but my boss made me give some of my work to the woman and she is taking forever to do it and it's all wrong.
Maybe it's just me but personally I've always put up an impenetrable barrier between work and my social life. I'm a naturally flirty person, it's just the way I am but at work my relationship with women has always been on a 100% professional level and I honestly believe that is the way it should be.
Lucky enough another person was using our office today and they kept rolling their eyes and tutting at them. So at least I know I'm not the only misery at work!!
I do hate seeing it in the work place though.
FFS get a life
LOL
I am bemused at why you are bothered and embarrassed about her offering to take him home. To be totally honest with you, it's none of your business. Even if the journey is two hours out of her way, that is her choice and none of your concern. I am wondering if they are playing up to your obvious annoyance with them.
Flirting IS fun, I agree...as long as it is light hearted.
But it is not fun if it is starting to embarass other folks and make them feel uncomfortable. Especially in an office, or other work environment, where you can't just turn away and ignore it.
Do you work at the 'Dear Miriam' office?
He's trying to.
Sorry if I offended you
