  • Never again do I offer to run an errand for a coworker ...

    This story comes from my former job in retail ...

    I wasn't doing so well one day; I had a very mild case of Montezuma's Revenge ... not nearly enough to make it necessary for me to go home, but enough to be an annoyance. There were only two of us in the store that day. So finally I tell my coworker that I am going to run to the drugstore for some OTC meds for this.

    CW: "Oh, are you going now?"

    Me: "Well, I'd like to. Why?"

    CW: "Can you pick up something for me?"

    Me: "Sure. Waddya want?"

    CW: "A pregnancy test kit."

    Me: "Buh ... wha ... GAAAAAAHHH ..."

    So 20 minutes later I'm standing in line in the drugstore, clutching a bottle of Pepto-Bismol in one hand and a pregnancy test kit in the other.

    At which point I decide I have been officially traumatized.

    Better then a preg kit and a couple packs of smokes.

    Sarcasm dear, sarcasm. I’m well aware that dealing with civilians in any capacity will skin your faith in humanity alive, then pickle anything that remains so as to watch it shrivel up into an immortal husk thus reminding you of how dead inside you now are.

      Or a pregnancy test and some condoms.

      "A little late for that, isn't it??"

              Better than the woman I had the other night, a pregnancy test and a bottle of champagne!
