Another Reason to Keep the Day Job

I could win the lotto tomorrow and I think I would keep my day job. Why? Where else would I get my WTF? moments. I had two last week and I’m in a sharing mood.

Exhibit A

I was talking to a visiting engineer about his vegetarianism. He mentioned he drinks a lot of milk to make sure that he gets protein. I explained that I was slightly lactose intolerant, however I seem to be able to eat yogurt and cheese with no issues. He looked at me quite concerned and told me that it was good that I didn’t drink milk. Drinking milk and yogurt within eight hours of each other causes leprosy. Honestly folks, I was all set to crack the hell up, but the man was serious. WTF?


Exhibit B

I was sitting at my desk, minding my own business, when the maintenance guy asked if he could speak to me outside. I go outside with him and he proceeds to tell me that he saw one of my employees go behind the dumpster. My first thought was, oh shit, the guy is stealing stuff and hiding it behind the dumpster! The maintenance guy assured me, that as far as he knew, my employee wasn’t stealing. When he’d looked behind the dumpster, all he found was a large pile of human feces and used toilet paper. WTF?
