Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

I went to go donate blood yesterday and the whole time I was sitting there, this guy kept talking to me about how he has been in a relationship with a married woman but she broke up with him for her husband and he thinks she was cheating on him with another guy while they were together because she always wanted to spend time with her children and now he's really lonely. I was half-heartedly listening, throwing in "oh that sucks" and "that's too bad" where it seemed appropriate. He asked me to exchange numbers with him (I couldn't switch numbers because I was 6th in line and he was 9th, and I had to be to work in an hour and a half, otherwise I would have let him go ahead of me) He kept glancing down at me, and positioning himself so that he was awkwardly close. He had a wicked stutter, and joked that I should try to "slap it out of him." He was bragging about all his scars and how cool his scar stories are (seriously, his best scar story was that he was sweeping with a really cheap broom and it broke and stabbed him in the finger, and he needed a couple stitches). He kept telling me how cute he was though he still couldn't find a woman, and I just smiled politely and said "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and told him that he'd find someone "eventually." This older gentleman gave me a sympathetic glance and saw that I was shivering (my chair was next to a fan) and gave me his coat, which was really nice. The guy with the stutter turned to him and was like, "oh you don't have to do that, I could have kept her warm." The old guy started laughing and said that he was donating double reds, so he'll be there awhile anyways. I have no idea what weird guy's actual age is, but he was telling me how he didn't get his learner's permit until he was 29 and he still can't drive a car because he doesn't have one. It was so hard to not just be like "shut the hell up, sir, you're stupidly annoying!"0

Many parts of this tell me why the dude is single. And he was hitting on you way too hard!0 -

Anyway, I have to go out to lunch and bowling with co-workers today for "team building." I'm not looking forward to it...
I hate team building. Just let me work. They made us have a team photo taken last week. It was for a retiring coworker or I would have told them to shove it.
I'll do it if it gets me out of the office! We had an "employee appreciation week" over the summer. We'll also have United Way week later this month. Not much work gets done at the office those weeks...
Of course, next week there's a Cricket tournament during one afternoon. Um, I don't even know the rules of Cricket. I suppose I'll pass...
I'm on the "Social Committee" in my office (voluntold, not by choice) and I think it's kind of the worst. I don't mind organizing the Christmas hamper donations/Food Bank volunteer work and that sort of thing, because it benefits people, but most of the potlucks/lunches/activities just seem like...if people wanted to do that stuff they could do it without it being formally organized, I guess. I like my coworkers but I don't like them any better after being forced to play weird office games or whatever. Charity stuff is one thing but the random parties and games and stuff are not for me.
YES!! It's always so awkward. And, I never take part in the potlucks. I don't know how sanitary these people are when they cook.
Haha you sound like me. I RARELY take part in potlucks either. I also hate when people bring in food that their kids helped make. I never eat that. Yuck. This usually happens around the holidays. I'll leave the food for someone else.
The big fundraiser at my son's school every fall is the Apple Pie Fundraiser. They always want people to come help peel apples and roll dough, etc. I can't imagine a world where I would purchase and eat a pie that was made by snotty nosed Kindergarteners.0 -
Oh hey, I have over 1000 posts. LOL0

Ugh, neither do I!
I once ate tacos that were provided for our store being accident free for so many days & had diarrhea. Plus with potlucks you never know if people wash their hands after using the restroom or touch foods with their hands.0 -

The mint ones. In Canada (as far as I know) we only get mint ones in the fall, then in the spring it's a combo box with the vanilla & chocolate filled ones.
I realized I typed Girl Scouts, but I guess it's Girl Guides, right?
Are they like thin mints? Yum!0 -

You can't see me nodding, but I am.

We are NOT letting this thread die!
I knew I could count on you POF!! It's funny how the thread is really slow for a few days and then it picks up for a few. I can tell when my Confession friends are busy IRL.
I know! Today seemed a bit busier too.0 -

We always have free food at my work (leftovers from meetings etc). If it sits out in the open, I will not take any. If it is covered but sat out for too long, I will not take any. I'm very picky about taking food. That's a good thing though. If I took free food every time it was offered, I'd be even bigger than I am now.0 -
Oh, me!
If I weigh myself and don't like the number I'll weigh myself again to check. If it's the same number again I accept it but if I like the number the first time around I don't weigh myself again.

We are having a potluck tomorrow. I am bringing a prepackaged veggie tray. I like easy.

You win the weirdest encounter of the week award. I'd have told him yo shut up and leave me alone.

The ONLY good thing about all of the hand washing training and reminders around the hospital is that we all practice it. It's such a habit that my kids laugh at over it.0 -

We had a meat and cheese tray here one day last week. I took it home and treated my dog. No way I was leaving it for people after it sat on a break room table for 8 hours

Funniest part was I didn't even realize he was hitting on me until I told my husband about the encounter and he started laughing at me. Apparently, the guy wanted to exchange phone numbers, not blood donation numbers. He was also bragging about how he works at a nice restaurant and gets free food while he's working, or 20% off otherwise.0
