Boss wants to take us to lunch on Thursday. Where would we like to go? I suggest Applebee's, co-worker suggests Red Lobster. Because "after all you have to stick it to the company any way you can."

OMG that had be rolling

Great thread. I'll be waiting for more.

Reminds me of my former coworker who called the Naval Observatory to find out when 12 AM was noon or midnight.

He's also one that flew out of Philly and on his way home, had to fly into Baltimore due to bad weather. When he couldn't find his car at the Baltimore airport, he reported it stolen!

 

[Fitswimmer]

That reminds me of another "marian". She was flying back into the NYC area and the pilot told them to look out the window and they would see "the Big Apple". Marian said: "Huh, all I saw was a bunch of buildings. I didn't see any apple, big or small."

I have no idea how my Mom kept a straight face all those years.

Oh, I have a good ignorant co-worker story also!!!

This womans 18 year old daughter became pregnant by her boyfriends friend. Well, they couldn't list him on the birth certificate because she didn't know his last name. The boyfriend and his friend are both Puerto Rican as is my DH.

I asked her why she just didn't ask the boyfriend what the friends last name was and she actually turns to me and says

"Well you know how Puerto Rican's are, they don't know any of their friends last names." She was totally serious.

I said, "Gee, my DH knows all of his friends last names. Anyway, if she didn't just jump into bed with someone the second she meets him and actually learns his name first then I guess she wouldn't be having this problem now".



Oh, she used to sit in the cubicle next to me. One day I turn from my computer towards her and I see her standing there scratching 'her private parts'. I'm talking about the ones below the belt.

I quickly turned away, in shock at what I was seeing. After all she wasn't just scratching, she was going to town. I was really, really afriad.

"Sometimes it itches and you just gotta itch it, you know" she says to me.

"Yeah, and they make creams for that" I said. Thankfully she stopped scratching and just laughed.

I lived in New Mexico for a couple of years and people all ways wanted to know where they could change their American dollars into Pesos. Sometimes it would take a long time to explain to them that New Mexico is one of the 50 states.

Oh the Baltimore airport story is priceless!!

I got one for you. Friend of mine went to nyc with another couple. They did the site seeing thing and of course that entails the statue of liberty. While standing at the statue base Miss Information asked "did anyone ever figure out where that thing came from?"

Oh the car at the wrong airport was funny, and so was the "big apple" unsighting...but this! What did she think it just APPEARED in the harbor out of nowhere one day??

And now for one of my own! Not a coworker, but a fellow American on a tour of St. Paul's Cathedral in London. Fortunately I did not know this woman, nor did I encounter her again. Because I was SOOOO embarrassed...

The guide was telling about the Blitz and how the Cathedral survived partly due to heroic efforts by members of the congregation. This lady was dumbfounded and kept going on and on about "Why would they bomb a church?" She just couldn't understand.

 

[Stargazer]

OMG!
No stories to add myself, but keep your updates coming - I needed a good laugh today!

 

[MyGoofy26]

These are too funny - I'm going to have to keep an eye on this thread.

 

[r3ngels]

How funny...

SOmeone should have just told her the truth: Those damn French snuck it in when we weren't looking

I would have told her that the US bought it at Macys!

 

[Alyssa88]

haha, I love these stories!


One of my best friends is very sweet, but she is VERY gullible. We were at MGM and had gottne fastpasses for RnRC. Anyway when we returned for our time, she asked my friend Kurtis why we "had our own line". He told her we were VIPs because my uncle is Steven Tyler, and she believed it. She walked by eveyone saying, "yeah, thats right, let the VIPs through, very important people, thats what we are"

This is also the same friend who asked me where Raven (thats so raven) lived while we were at the MK, and thought I was wrong when I explained that the disney start don't live in the parks.

Oh man I love this thread. So many good belly laughs to start a work day. Keep them all coming!

Claire, I agree with one of the other posters. You should come up with some good questions and see how she answers them. Too bad filming someone without them knowing is illegal, this would make for a good tv show!

 

[Evil Genius]

Nothing yet. But remember we have lunch today at Red Lobster. I can't wait to see what she orders so she can "stick it to the company"

 

[iggbees]

i have a coworker who just nods when you ask him a question. i don't think he understands a word you are saying. i'm really surprised he's still in grad school...

 

[coles1mom]

OK , one to add. A few years back my ex and his dad bring home 4 chickens. 1hen 3 roosters. My exFIL asks how to decrow a rooster. I told him you just cut off his head and put him in the stew pot. He did not believe me so he called a vet to learn how to decrow a rooster. I would have loved to have been the vet. Good Laugh to this day. Keep em coming.

Man this lady sure reminds me of a few people I work with. Very strange people.

It IS "Lobster Fest" time.....maybe she'll live it up!!!!

(truly don't understand the whole Lobster Fest campaign...shouldn't it always be at Red LOBSTER? Nobody needs to explain it to me, tho!!! ).
