So one of the new girls at work, L I will call her, is fresh from Britain. Gorgeous woman if you ask me, with a well articulated British Accent. Today we had this conversation:
*she takes her purse out of the locking cabinets. I watch*
Me: L, that's a HUGE purse!
Her: Well, I have to have a big one to keep all my rubbish in it!.
Me: ... I love you. You're the ONLY other person I've ever known who KNOWS what that word is!
She said people kept trying to correct her and get her to use 'garbage'. I told her not to.
We also have one of those 'Snake Oil Salesman" types in it, selling a 'revolutionary new idea' (A new kind of Swiffer Sweeper knockoff). Thing is, how she does the announcements:
Her: Attention Shoppers. THIs is a very SPECIAL announcement for every ADULT customer in the Store RIGHT NOW.
One time I happened to be up there when she was paging it, and then afterwards, We talked:
Me: You're the only person aside from Bill Shatner who speaks in Iambic Panatameter!:
Her: *laughs* are you a poet? I'm a literature major and I've never seen ANYONE ELSE know what that means!
*she takes her purse out of the locking cabinets. I watch*
