The chap next to me can be a bit like but he has also given me stuff or offered to.
I just nod and answer in the right places and get on with what I want to do. He is ok really and I take some things he says with a pinch of salt. Another bloke tends to talk about this chap behind his back sometimes in a nasty way, that I dont like, and I have ignored him and now he doesnt bother me.
