At work one day while preparing blueberries, some ladies and I were discussing the benefits of blueberries and how it is said they are considered "Brain Food". When out of the blue one of the men who worked in maintenance walks in. Talk about a guy who thinks he is a Casanova, this one is married and still likes to flirt, and not just a little! The look upon his face as he looks around the kitchen says "I am here kneel down before me and worship me" Until this point I knew I could be funny but what happened next showed me the only time I really double people over is when I am annoyed! Trying to be nice one of the ladies asked him if he would like some blueberries to start his day off, because they were brain food. His reply was a cocky " No I never eat food like that!" Finally at my wits end I replied back to him " Thats obvious" The kitchen went deathly quiet all eyes turned to me! The cocky maintenance worker puffed out his chest and stalked out of the kitchen! Thats when the howls of laughter started! Up to this point I hadn't really realized what or even how funny that was I was still fuming over this mans attitude! Later in the day after I calmed down it hit me at how I just , in two words, took him down! I never saw him after that! While I am a person who just loves to goof off, and crack jokes, it has been brought to my attention that when I am on my"soap box" I am at my best! Other times is when my mind is on one thing and between my thoughts and mouth comes out a different version of what I actually meant to say! I also have a bad problem of blurting things out when I feel guilty over something! At a drive thru my sister in law told me to order the complimentary drinks for children under six. We only had two kids under six and she said to order three! I was a little nervous! When the kid on the other side of the speaker asked will that be all, thru my guilt I thought he said something about the drinks so I yell back at the speaker "Its for the children!" I know cars as far back as four herd me yell that at the poor kid! My sister in law in between gasps of breath said " He asked if that would be all" "Oh Sorry" I yell back into the speaker! The whole car line including the workers in the restaurant were laughing so hard I could hear them! I thought I would die. I still haven't lived it down! I have one friend says she just loves the way I blurt things out, and the way no one ever knows what will come out of my mouth next!
