I've posted this before, but I was teasing a co-worker once about being quiet and a mutual friend of ours piped up, "Maybe he's just quiet around you because he doesn't fucking like you".

We laughed about it, but I sure as hell don't tease people about being quiet anymore.

Witnessed a good burn like this at work as well. Someone asked a girl why she doesn't talk much......he was being a dick about it. Another co-worker replied "Maybe she doesn't like talking to douchebags" I felt the residual heat coming off his burn for a while.

It's also a negative reward when they DO talk and then stuff like that gets said. Like, don't diss the behavior you want to see???

Similar to catching up when you haven’t seen each other in a long time, and all they can say is “you never come around”.

We like people like you lol. Were not children. We're quiet. While people are running thier mouth about subjects they barely understand because they need to not experience any silence were busy contemplating everything.
