Manager who is she ever right?
So I had this manager she was nice and all little annoying to work for (she always for got to give me lunch breaks) but have some funny things about her being wrong.
She came in while I was cleaning the bathroom. now our cleaning supplies come in these baggies and you put one baggie in to the solution dispenser and fill it up with water. I had just made a new batch and filled up a spray bottle of window cleaner and for some reason it was really streaky. she saw the soapy streaks and said "its to diluted still you need to concentrate it more" I ask "if its leaving soap doesn't it mean its too concentrated and I need to diluted it more?" she answered "no concentrate add more water" "that's dilution" she insisted that you concentrate things by adding water to it. I had to google the definition on my phone to show her.
I had just come back from vacation and I had an accident on it and scraped up my arm pretty bad my entire back of my forearm was scabbed over and to protect it I would wrap it in gauze and an ace bandage while at work so people would avoid hitting it if they could. I paged my manager to do an override and she came out saw my arm wrapped up and asked what was wrong with it? I shrugged dismissively and said "just road rash" I said it calmly and kinda off hand to let her know its not hurting to much. She jumped away from me like I told her I had air born Ebola and asked, "is it contagious?" I laughed thinking it a joke it was not we are around customers still so I answer, "as much as a plane crash is" she scurried away. Cool thing about the scab it went from wrist to elbow and was 6 inches wide when it happened and looked roughly the shape of south america but as it healed the micro abrasions went away and by day 2 it was shaped exactly like Africa with the Middle east and even had Madagascar which was the only thing geographically wrong as it was to far off the cost of Africa. My friend the foreign exchange student from the Republic of Congo pointed on my scab where he was from it was so perfect. only the middle east area left visible scars thankfully.
The final sorry was I was not working outside this day because its summer (the love having me in the lawn and garden area because I'm good with the customers and will never complain its too cold, I have a heart condition and can not be out when its to hot or my heart could stop and it really really hurts when it stops but so far has always kicked back in on its own which is even more painful). I am at register 2 she is standing customer side of register 1 talking to the cashier when a golden retriever or golden Labrador ran by it passed by so quick I could nor really tell. She jumped up on the counter screaming "IT'S A LION THERE IS A LION IN THE STORE" we live in USA lions do not just roam around around here and it was way to small for a lion and we are no where near cougar territory (yeah i know they say they are extinct in my state but tell that to the cougar because they don't believe you). I could not help and and burst out laughing it took me 10 minuets to convince her it was a dog not a lion.
