Ok HILARIOUS had to be shared right this moment story. Names have been changed to protect the innocent.
Back story necessary: My boss pays close attention to detail and she is on top of her game all the time. She doesn’t let things get passed her and she likes for things to be neat and tidy and taken care of. Apparently this type of behavior, in her mind, makes her neurotic. She goes around saying it ALL the time. She isn’t suffering from any social adjustment issues, nor does she have any odd compulsions or obsessions…she just really wants to do her job right.
Real story: The guy that I work with has a small language barrier. He grew up in Mexico, but has been in America for a long time. His English is very good, but every once in a while he will get a word mixed up or pronounce it wrong, so today he comes up to me and says with a chuckle (and in much too loud of a voice) “Where’s Mrs. Erotic!? Have you seen her??”
“Uhm….What!?!?!?” was my response.
“You know,” he says shoving me jokingly with his elbow “Mrs. Erotic!? Sally? I haven’t seen her but her lights are on in her office.”
“Oh my gosh!” I say finally realizing he’s talking about our boss. “No, no…Josh…keep your voice down dude. Don’t say Erotic….it’s NNNNNNeurotic. Ok?”
And then the light bulb hit him and he realized what he was saying and I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone’s face turn so red
