Ever noticed that no matter how old we men get, that we still can't resist making a woman scream and jump?
(get your mind out of the gutter
)
I was stocking magazines at a few stores today. When I got to the grocery store (I won't name the chain) Diana caught me at the front of the store and went back to receiving with me as she had not signed the paperwork yet, and this would be a good time.
After retrieving the paperwork from the top of the stack (bastards), I gave it to Diana along with a box to use as a writing surface. She proceeded to set the box atop a shopping cart when I noticed that she had stopped in her tracks and was looking at me strangely (shut up every one of you
). I had not seen it, but she said that a mouse just ran past, and was kind of like eeking about it.
Now, I guess the compassionate thing to do would have been to remain calm and supportive.
Not a chance in hell as I replied along the lines of 'does it look like that one there?'; to which she responding by turning, jumping, and screaming.
Another employee had walked out of the receiving dock and seen what was going on.
Of course, I guess the compassionate thing for him to do would have been to remain calm and supportive.
Not a chance in hell as he said 'look out for that one' as he reached up from under the box, which she was still holding, and grabbed her arm; to which she responded by jumping and screaming.
Of course, I guess the compassionate thing to do would have been to let it go from there.
Not a chance in hell....er....let's just say that she left the floor at least two more times and left receiving, running.
She was standing at the receiving doors looking in through the glass. She had a smile on her face, but she just stood there staring at me. I had to go out and ask if she was okay.
We would not have picked on Diana if it were not for her having such a good sense of humor, and for being so much fun to pick on.
Cruel?
How many of you, when there is an opportunity to make a woman jump and scream, will abandon any maturity and fully return to your juvenile roots?
