Weirdoes

My mother can never understand why I'm not dating anyone I know from my workplace. Here's why: I work with weirodes or they are already married.

Example: Tonight I get a guy working for another company asking if these keys belong to my company. Yes. I reach out for them and he takes them away stating I owe him $1. Excuse me? Yeah see, he gets a quarter for returning luggage carts so we owe him $1 since he is returning our keys he found on the sidewalk. Sorry, we don't give out money for turning in keys, have to ask the owner about that. He threatens to throw them back on the sidewalk where he found them if I won't give him $1. Go ahead, I reply, my coworkers will find them. He finally hands them over yelling somebody owes him a dollar. I'm sorry to ask, but is this male humor and this conversation suppose to be amusing?

Later he comes by and tells my coworkers what a horrible and mean person I am for not rewarding him for turning in keys and still yelling how we owe him a dollar. Then he gets mad over the obvious fact that I'm working on crosswords and not paying attention to their conversation. Male conversations tend to be very boring so I make an effort not to eavesdrop on them. After his slamming his hand down on the counter and imitating my "Huh", he explains they are badmouthing me, What do I think of that? "Whatever," I say, "I'm use to it" without looking up. He walks away telling us we still owe him $1. Get it from the owner, I answered. Is this more male humor I'm not getting? I work with weirdoes. Post later. Bye!
