| Did he take it just
too far? |
|
|
| An office worker in
London this week has been projected into the limelight for
successfully imitating a modem. |
|
|
|
According to his co-worker, Left
Buttwik, has perfected the noise emitted by a standard external PC
modem when dialing a connection to the internet.
|
|
|

"It all started a couple of weeks
back", says Tiny Bunyon, a former employee. "I used to
sit opposite him in this tiny room, just the two of us. One Monday
morning I got online to grab my emails and as the modem was
connecting Left pretended to be a modem too. It was a little funny
I guess. I remember smiling but that's it. I definitely didn't
laugh. But he just thought it was a hoot and carried on all day. I
thought it was pretty odd, but the next day he was at it again. He
really took it too far."

|
|
|
"It just didn't stop, it went on
for weeks. And he was so damn smug about it too. And it's no big
thing either, I probably could do it to but I just don't want to.
Not no for sure."

|
|
Mr. Bunyon has since left the team and
has sort employment elsewhere.
|
|
|
| According to
Office Psychologists this problem is on the rise. An
official area of psychology is now centred on 'feigned
laughter and other social support systems'. "This is
kind of occurrence puts the subject in a quandary,"
said one expert, "they have to smile but deep down ..
they think the person's a jerk." |
Modems: chirpy little numbers |
|
|
|
|
|
| In a timely moment in
time, leading psychologist Dr. Keek Kant has just launched a
book on the very subject. Entitled "You stink and I'm not
afraid to say so" could become one of this year's best
sellers, maybe.
