Somehow I thought you'd like that story! ;;D

One of my colleagues I used to work with ate very healthy. We had a fridge where we kept all of our lunches when we brought them. He always brought a perfectly proportioned out meal. A certain amount of meat, certain amount of veggies, etc. Anyway, one day we were all getting our lunches and Trav had sat down at our break room table, doling out his lunch in his matching Tupperware bowls. One of the other guys I worked with walks by him, looks at his food and says:

"Man, that looks like some s hit the guys from Nickelback would eat."

I'm not sure why that hit me so funny, but for some reason I got the joke and just about spewed Dr. Pepper out of my nose that I had just taken a drink of.

Trav looks at me kind of weird, looks back at the other detective and says "What's wrong with Nickelback? I like their music."....oblivious he's being made fun of.

The same detective yells back over his shoulder as he walks away, "I'm not surprised at that since you're a huge F'N tool. Your boyfriend there gets the joke but obviously you're too stupid."

Trav looks back at me and says "Why he'd say that? That was kind of uncalled for."

"After you admitted you like Nickelback? Good luck living that one down anytime soon, moron. Did you forget where we work?"

lol

The way some of these stories are going, I don't know who is supposed to be the strange coworker: the person the story is about or the person telling the story. :umm::zip_it:

I used to crunch ice all the time. All day. Every day. Turns out I was iron deficient; I make sure to get tons of iron into my diet now, (vegan living went bye bye) and guess what? No more ice chomping. If memory serves, it's called pica when a person consumes non-food items in search of iron....

Coming back to work after Spring break and we're in the staff lounge catching up on what we did on break:

Staff member: I went and saw the movie Logan! Has anyone seen it yet?

A few staff say, No, not yet. Soon though. Maybe this weekend.

Staff member:

Logan dies!!!!!

Jaws hit the floor. Aghast.

Staff member laughs maniacally.

WTF?!

I haven't seen it. Hopefully he was joking. That's a great way to get your butt whooped, in some circles.

Hi, sir!

My BFF (also a SKMB member) told me about a co-worker who was, apparently, a *dill weed* ( I should probably look up what a *dill weed* is =D) and said, I watched The Sixth Sense last night! It was awesome!!! Have you watched it yet?

BFF: No. My girlfriend and I plan on watching it this weekend. We are really excited.

Co-worker spilled the SPOILER! I chit you not. Why would ANYONE do that?

Hugs!

EDIT: Doc Creed I wanted so badly to whoop that person who ruined it.

A *dill weed* is perhaps a nice polite way to say
d*ck weed?

Years ago (like the early 80s) I was in the military in Trenton Ontario, working as a supply tech.

We had one old French civilian guy who would take a nap every lunch hour - he would climb up on a big wooden table in the Aircraft parts Supply section (it was in a hangar) and just fall asleep for 30 minutes.

I don't know how he managed it, but nobody bothered him about it.

This is a bit off topic, but I didn't know you were in Trenton Neesy. My older daughter,Sarah went to Loyalist College
in Belleville and was on air with 95.5 FM there after graduation for 5 years. They she went on to Ottawa for a few years, on air their too. Small world isn't it.
