How to extinguish those office rumours

When we are in the workplace we often think about sex. It’s a fact! Men especially, in fact we think about sex in the office at least once every 20 seconds on average. This is going to lead to flirting and then ‘the dreaded rumours!’

Work is where we spend most of our life so we are bound to get close to our work colleagues and think about what they look like without any clothes – sometimes we wished we hadn’t! But the fact of the matter is that we can’t help it.

If you are in a big company, rumours are far more likely to spread because people don’t have anything better to do. There are a couple of things you can do to stop rumours which I have listed below:

Start a new one… about someone else, but make the story juicer so people’s interest turn to them.

Confront the ringleader. And tell them ‘you started it because you are jealous of me, aren’t you’. Don’t take no for an answer, just keep implying it and they will get really frustrated and go on the defensive.

Turn it into a joke. Once it’s out in the open and a public joke people will get bored of it. People like intrigue and letting their imaginations run away with them. Fire it initially by performing stunts, and then just make it blatantly obvious that you are leaps and bounds ahead of the snoopers.
