Could you work with Ben if he was employed in your workplace?

If I were a hammer tester-then yes.

I would have to threaten him with a shave.

Nope. I'd be out of the door as soon as he walked in.

We went to a spade mill to watch spades being made today. I would be very tempted to buy one and keep it beside me at all times.

If I was looking to design something spring loaded to produce resistance during sex I'd happily use him as a crash test dummy during that unpredictable and painful design phase. Though come to think of it if I wanted something to produce resistance during sex the line "Hi, I'm Ben" would probably do the job on its own.

I'd get sacked for smacking him one

He thinks he's a pretty boy and it just fails because of his chubby face.

Yes. I am a social worker, I work with many undesirable characters.

I reckon he's easy to work with in real life.

What we see is bravado for the cameras.

I think the desire to smack him one would eventually consume me until I couldn't contain it a moment more...

Me too!!! Are you talking about your clients or your team leaders?

If he was my manager and behaving like that he would have a few tribunals on his hands......if he was a client however, I'd be looking to have him referred for psychiatric help for his delusions and aggressive behaviour.

No, too annoying.

As people mentioned above I'd probably be sacked for giving him a good ear bashing and telling him where to go due to his pompous attitude or smacking him one. I'm not actually a vocal or violent person but he'd really bring the worst out of me.

Unfortunately I do work with a Ben Not very often thankfully, the best way to deal with Bens is to repeat their most self-aggrandising statements in a stupid accent and make everybody else laugh at them the Ben in my job really hates that, sometimes he even clenches his fists when I do it

I know plenty of people like Ben unfortunately. They swan around with their Blackberries and suits talking loudly and looking down their noses at anyone who actually does any money earning work in whatever company they leech off.

Having worked on reception at a gynaecological clinic, I probably would work with him. I'm used to entertaining *****.

He wouldn't last five minutes where I work. He's exactly the kind of **** we try our best not to hire.

He'd be upstairs in sales so I wouldn't have to deal with him very often.

I do, I call him the arrogant g*t. Thankfully he's not my boss. He's diddled people in the office out of money. I tend to ignore him as much as humanly possible. I wouldn't bite his teeth out, but hopefully my ignoring him means I wouldn't see him if he was dying in the street.

Not for all the money in the world.

I'd rather flush my own head down the toilet!

Well as I'm responsible for the hiring and firing I'd probably sack myself for having employed him, however I would relish being his manager, it's wouldn't be my bumhole twitching like a rabbits nose

I think Ben is a fairly typical city boy, has earned too much money too young and thinks he is god's gift because of it. A good boss could slap him down pretty quickly.

I wonder how much the Producers encourage the candidates to make their moronic statements and how much is unprompted. I get the feeling in Ben's case it all comes quite naturally to him.
