No spoilers here, see the bottom.


Trouble writes...

Work was... um... interesting today.

My week day night security person is French Canadian. He struggles with his English on occasion, so it's not unusual for him to wander into the office, grab the French-English dictionary, and look up words. He'll ask me how to say them, ask for them in a sentence, stuff like that.

He comes over to me last night, and is pointing to the word nudity. "What's another way of saying this?" he asks.

"Naked." Then I blink. "Why do you ask?"

"Ah, yes. Naked. There is a naked man on the 5th floor."

(Oh, for those who don't know, I work night audit at a hotel.)

"Naked."

"Yes, on the fifth floor. He was getting ice."

"Naked. Man. On the fifth floor. Getting ice."

He grin at me. "Yes. He was from Quebec. He just wanted ice. I explained he had to go back to his room."

I burried my face in my hands. "Well, at least it's the fifth floor. It's only a team on that floor, no one else. So, it would only be his team mates seeing him. Naked. Getting ice."

He walked away to start getting the papers. Later on, I was staring at him again. "Naked?"

"Yes!" He grin at me, then made this rather unmistakable hand gesture about .. things... dangling and stuff and size and oh my poor eyes and brain. "He was uncircumsized."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"

And that, ladies, gentlemen, and others, was my day at work.



Now, I gotta say, working in IT is great because it's so rare that you see naked people in this field. As Seinfeld said, 95% of the populace is undatable, so that's a good thing.

On the other hand, when I delivered pizza to the local colleges, and went into the dorms, it was a common common occurance that one of the little hot coeds would be on her way back from the shower with nothing but a towel on her head. God bless liberation! :)

Which Springfield, PA?

Spoonman, as I'm sure you're aware, there are two Springfields in the Philadelphia area, both have colleges in them. Swarthmore is one (however, I'm not familiar with the student body(ies) there - nuk nuk, and Beaver (I'm not joking, that was the name) college - girls only (now Arcadia University and coed).
Now, it was a few times a car load of us guys would pull up to the dorms at Beaver and shout "Hey, we've got beer!". With that, a bunch of girls would come out to meet us. We would take drive off with a few girls, get drunk, and - well, you know ;).
But...

There must have been a reason he declined...

are you sure you would have wanted to 'go in'?
When I started delivering for the wine merchant

There was one woman who insisted on her order being delivered, although it was too small according to the rules and she lived less than a mile from the shop. The guy I was taking over from came back white as a sheet, talking about her coming to the door wearing very little with nearly everything on show. He was invited in and only just managed to stutter "No, thanks" before escaping. Now why didn't it happen the following week when I'd started in the job?
Dunno...

...must've just been that one college (University of Rochester, for those that care). It happened at least 9 times out of 10...usually it was as I described, or a young lady changing out of her clothes in her room with her door open, or them just lying around in bra and panties reading.

The other one was...damn, can't rememebr the name of the college, it was in Springfield, PA. I think it was Swarthmore....very lesbian dominant school there. I'd have a door open to two half naked chicks making out on the couch more often than not. Man, if only the stories in pornos were true!


Damn, man...

...how come I never got to see naked coeds when I delivered to college dorms?


Sounds like

our ideal afternoon in a hotel. Not the family run bed & breakfast - those anonymous chain hotels work better. You can just put out the Do Not Disturb sign, lock the door, kick off your shoes (and everything else) and open the Jack Daniel's and Coke. (We recreate this at home too, but ya gotta have the cheap plastic hotel-style disposable tumblers. And be sure that the kids aren't gonna turn up unexpectedly.) The only problem is the way the hotel ice machine is usually sited in the lobby. Having to throw on trousers, shirt and shoes to go and collect ice at regular intervals is a pain. I can understand your customer wanting to save time. Maybe we should take a bucket on the next trip?
Hah!

I laughed my ass off when I read that :). Just glad my job doesn't involve any situations where there's a possibility of seeing naked men.
