@Saeyra: I like her too, she's my favorite. Originally I was going to make her bigendered or trans but considering the era I decided to just hint at it. As for Mermaid Lagoon, that's just the name he uses for it. They're still mermaids even though their people are known to the island as Amazi.

@Hachi: I used to illustrate a comic I called "Welcome to Melvins" that my co-workers all enjoyed and shared and it was all our stories of the people we met and the shit we had to deal with lol.

Yeah that would be frustrating af.

@Kozi: Me too, it makes no sense to me. It's more than a slur. It should be a fire worthy offense.

@Kozi: Oh the bigotted slur f word????? My husband had a kid say that to him once, but he did nothing about it. I still say the kid should have gotten fired.
Posted in Stupid co-worker stories Posted 6 years ago
@Kozi: I don't know what his reason was but he was an all around idiot lol.

I'd say repeat what they said but use the word fork in place but I get you lol. That's no good, at least they got fired. But still, a reputation is hard to build, especially with new hires, one small thing can cause it to come tumbling down and if you're to command any respect, being seen as someone goes off on you while you can do nothing but take it is a massive blow to said reputation.

I want to hear all about the stupid shit your co-workers have done or said.

Here's mine.

So I'm working at Mervyn's, the children's clothing department, when my manager Mary tells me I'm going to be training a new hire. I got so excited as this was my first big responsibility and I wanted to be management one day.

That's when I met him. Danny. Tall, skinny, tanned, blonde bowl cut, blue eyed, big braces, this kid was a mess to start with. But I do my job and I take him around each section, the infants, toddlers, boys, girls, etc. I show him what to do, what shirts needed to be folded and how, all the great stuff that comes with being a retail employee.

One day I'm working my department when Danny asks me to wait for him as he wants to have his lunch with mine so I do. All he has is an apple, he runs in to grab it, I start walking towards the mall with him behind me. He's talking away through mouthfulls of apple and I still had not looked at him after he grabbed it.

That's when I notice the mall security reaching for their tazers and watching us. I turn around to see if they're following us when I finally see what has them and so many mall customers so nervous. Danny is wielding a massive hunters knife of which he is using to cut the apple. He had a weapon out in public.

I sped up and pretended I wasn't with him, and he got taken in for questioning and they took his knife away lol.
Need inspiration.

@Hachi: No, everybody had already turned in their register bags and were waiting at the doors at the end of my section. They could see me on the phone but couldn't hear me. I definitely told them though and they all started laughing hysterically and telling me I was a dumbass lol. Which I deserved. It was like ten questions, legit. At the least. It was a lot of questions.
"What size are they...the panties?"
"What color are they...the panties?"
"What's on them......the panties?"
"Is the crotch cotton...on the panties?"
"What are they made of...the panties?"
It was ridiculous lol. There's a slim chance that that was really a teenage boy buying underpants for his girlfriend, but sometimes I wonder if it was, and he was just nervous or something, how his story ended up? Lol. I'm like 90% certain it was a pervert or someone EXPERTLY prank calling me lol.

@Hachi: Oh you've got to laugh when something like that happens, otherwise the pervert wins lol. He already got to make you uncomfortable, and possibly get off to something you say or the sound of your voice. All you can do is laugh because what other options are there really? You can't really do anything about it, lol. And it took me a stupid amount of time to figure out I was likely being fucked with, so I pretty much earned it lol. I love telling that story, especially out loud because I do a mean impression of him, lol. I used to remember all of his questions, he asked me a lot of them and my stupid ass stood there and answered each and every one lmao.

@Mousy: They don't even need a costume for me. I don't care who it is, so long as they're just trick or treating and want candy hahaha
Giving out candy is all apart of the fun, why are people being so shitty about that? Like you said, better trick or treating than doing something else like vandalizing other peoples property.
