Tale from the Field House

[Trayol]

Y'all know that I work at my college's Rec Center, but I also work at the Field House a smaller lesser used facility. They're both apart of Recreation Services, in short the same administrators and workers. While the Rec is a destitute black hole devoid of happiness from which know sanity can escape, the Field House is a realm of Joy and Empathy from which love flows freely through. The Field house is where the patrons are stupid in a good way, funny, rather than mind numbing. Here's a few examples:

Starting this semester, Health Enhancement has been handing out condoms to students during the day at the field house counter. During the evening is when Recreation Services runs the counter for admittance. Not a week has gone by that I haven't been asked whether or not we had condoms. Either I or my supervisor M would tell them that we don't do that and it's only in the morning. Luckily, HE now keeps some extra condoms in a tub if we have to hand some out. The Funniest thing is that when asking for condoms, there's no warm-up to it, just
Me: Hello, good..
Patron: Do you have any condoms? (Try to imagine saying it like a crack head)
M: That's Health Enhancement, not us. They close by 4:30.
Patron: "defeated sigh"
M: But, we might have some extras lying around.
Patron: "ecstatic look"

God college kids are such sluts. Not all of course, but there is always a contingent of them that just go at it like rabbits all 4 years. I guess I should be encouraged by the fact that they are at least searching out protection.

Don't they know where walgreens is? The one from my university is about 10 minutes walk away and you can buy a whole box.

[wynjara]

Ah yes, but why buy them when you can mooch for free? My college even had colored ones. I stuck the packets up on the walls of our dorm as decorations Because I could, that's why.

Then use some foresight and grab a few just in case you ever need one.

A guy in my year - after the local social services came around to give us a talk far too late... - found out we could get a dozen condoms per month free from the NHS by walking in and asking for them.

He and a few chums ensured that a few months later his car boot (trunk?) was rather full.

I went to a Pride Parade over the summer and they were handing out the most ridiculous condoms. There were rainbow condoms, banana condoms, strawberry condoms, blue condoms, yellow condoms, colored ribbed, vibrating...it was intense. We filled them with water and used them as water balloons. Twas wicked fun, I gotta say.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

A vibrating water balloon?

No comment.

[South Texan]

M: But, we might have some extras lying around.

The image that flashed thought my head when reading that was of something opened and used that morning then thrown in a corner or onto a chair rail.

boot (trunk?)

If you're talking about the part in the back (generally) where you put luggage, groceries, etc, then you got it dead on, Raps. Otherwise, I have no clue what "Boot" means in this context.

I'd go with you for the freebies, I've got a large enough purse to carry lots.
