Loungers - tell me how YOU would respond

[cwydro]

if your boss came in to your office and showed you her kidney stones?:crazy:

[ceile]

1. um, seriously?

What possessed her to do that? That's just gross.

[cwydro]

5. Seriously.

Yeah, she is kinda gross. I mean, we are not even close. It totally put me off my dinner ya know?

[Ann Arbor Dem]

2. I suppose it would all depend on whether they had exited her body yet.

But regardless, it would be kind of weird.

[cwydro]

7. Oh yes.

She had them in her hand. Two of them.

[MissHoneychurch]

3. Tell her it is too much information

ewwwwwww

[cwydro]

9. I should have said that.

I was in shock.

[myrna minx]

4. I was totally unprepared for your punchline.

:spray: :rofl: Perhaps she can fashion a necklace out of them to model around the office for all to see.

[cwydro]

6. This woman totally thinks the world revolves around her.

I mean I was simply speechless...what does one say? "Um, how nice, TWO of them." Or, "Cool!"

Erg.

[myrna minx]

12. I don't think that even Miss Manners could answer that question.

That is just hideous behavior. My sympathies. Who shows off their kidney stones?! :puke: You should tell her to have them set in platinum or that she should send them to the Smithsonian for posterity, unless, of course she just wants to keep brandishing them at people. :hi:

[cwydro]

22. I think that you are right.

It is the brandishing she enjoys. This is a woman who goes to the doctor at least once a week...and the chiropractor.

OMG, I can only imagine Miss Manners' response.:rofl:

[scarlet_owl]

8. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwww!

That's gross and kind of scary. :scared:

[cwydro]

11. That is what I wanted to say: eeeeewwwwww

Yeah, she showed them to a few others too. I have had a lot of things happen to me in my life, but this takes the cake.

[Maddy McCall]

10. I'd say, "Nice! They'll look great in a platinum setting."

That's as bad as my co-worker, who showed me and everyone photos of his wife having a c-section--from the incision to the baby being yanked out, covered with goo.

Some people have no class. :)

[cwydro]

23. Oh god.

At least I'm not the only one! What did you say?

[Ms_Dem_Meanor]

29. YUCK!!!

:puke:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

79. I love it!

:thumbsup:

[Dangerously Amused]

13. "Boss Lady! Boss Lady! Come quick!!!

You HAVE to see this gigantic shit I just took!!!"








That oughta do it.

[cwydro]

24. ...

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Patiod]

14. The people here would do that

we do medical/pharmaceutical research, and I could see it happening.....

[ChickMagic]

17. Here too

In fact, it's not uncommon. I don't give it a second thought.

[cwydro]

35. Perhaps it is my aversion to her

that made it so difficult.:shrug:

[cwydro]

28. Well now,

THAT would make sense.

[crim son]

15. i would have been politely admiring

and then snickered after she left my office. There are lots of oddballs out there and on the scale from 1 - 10, that's about a 2.

edited for typo

[cwydro]

31. You crack me up Crim...

that is exactly what I did. I was speechless really, but sort of murmured complimentary sounds. Like, "wow, um, well, er, ouch. " She seemed pleased by this response and very proud.

OMG, my life.:eyes:

[datasuspect]

16. "can i taste one?"

[cwydro]

36. oh no

you di'nt say that!:rofl:

[trof]

18. "Hey! Let me show you my circumcision!"

;-)

[cwydro]

42. Well,

being a woman...that wouldn't work for me...but I could have showed her the scar on my toe when I stepped on glass as a child.:rofl:

[dropkickpa]

19. "Cool!!!"

But, I like that sort of thing.

[nini]

21. that's how I am

:-)

[nini]

20. it depends on my relationship with my boss

If I was friendly with them I'd be interested because I'm interested in medical type stuff.

If I wasn't that friendly - I'd think they were nuts.


:hi:

[cwydro]

25. Well yeah,

we really don't have that great a relationship...perhaps she thought it was a bonding experience? I know she is trying to be nice to me because she knows I want to transfer out of the department.

But hell, kidney stones? :rofl:

[wildhorses]

26. since i work in a hospital--

i will refrain from answering--

depends on the size:P


oh, sorry meant to refrain from answering:hi:

[cwydro]

34. Hey wild woman!

I would say they were about the size of a smilie..one was bright red and the other kind of beige. :hi:

[wildhorses]

38. were they smooth or jagged?

beige is a common color, red not so much

she needs to drink more water--

good to see ya :hug:

[cwydro]

46. Now listen here darlin'...

if you think for one moment that I examined them to see if they were round or jagged....:rofl:

No, I thought the red color was weird too. On a glance (which is all I gave them) they looked round. She is a very heavyset woman and these are not her first (just the first for me to see, lol). She enjoys her doctor visits, what can I say?

Good to see you too. Might be heading up there soon. Mayhaps we could have a mini meetup?

[wildhorses]

83. send me a pm with the details of your trip

and we will plan to get together!! look forward to it!!

[QMPMom]

84. The size of a smilie????? What I want to know is how they got

one that big out of her? Usually the big ones they smash with a lithotrypter and then....ummm....you pee them out.

A SMILIE???? OUCH times 1000.

I wonder if she's making some shit up. If she passed that thing naturally she would have died from the pain.

[cwydro]

88. Maybe they just seemed big to me

trying to think here...I really only glanced at them because I was trying not to hurl...maybe a very large grain of sand? But large. This woman is rather large too if that makes any difference...probably close to 250 if not more...

[Ms_Dem_Meanor]

27. WTF?

:wtf: I'd tell her to get that out of my face!!! While thinking, "Are you f%*&ing crazy?! Nobody wants to see that shit!!!"

[rug]

30. I'd offer to show her my anal cyst.

[cwydro]

33. Ok, thank you!

I just sprayed my drink all over my keyboard!:rofl:

Hmmm...so you and Rush have something in common, eh?

[Ariana Celeste]

32. An aquaintance of mine showed me hers once.

I thought it was cool. :shrug:

[cwydro]

51. Well, if a FRIEND wanted to show them to me

that might be different. I dunno, just seems like there should be some boundaries at work, ya know?

How ya doing there Ariana? Are things working out OK? I sure hope so. And I hope you're hanging in there.:hi:

[Ariana Celeste]

53. Well I'm definitely less stressed

lol. And I agree with ya, at work there should be boundaries, that's just kind of weird. Thanks for thinking about me. :)

[cwydro]

55. Thought about you a lot lately.

Positive energy coming your way.

Just wrote a letter to the court supporting a friend of mine's son who found himself on the worng side of the law...a travesty no doubt. Young black male...the best kid in the world. Oh, don't get me started.:banghead:

[Ariana Celeste]

56. I'm sorry to hear that

I wish your friend's son the best of luck... "justice" just ain't. :hug:

[cwydro]

57. Yeah,

he is only 19. His mom is white and his dad is black. He is the best kid I ever met...and now I am trying to convince him (and his mom is too) to cut his dreads before court. I think he has got to "play the game" ya know? Who cares as long as you win, right? He is a very good looking guy and could carry the whole yuppie kid thing off fine, but...I know how I was at that age.

[Ariana Celeste]

60. My SO is struggling w/ the thought of cutting his hair

19, huh. Fuck. I really hope that he gets off easy, then. Are his dreads long enough to tie back nicely?

[cwydro]

68. Yeah, they tie back very nicely.

And he is a beautiful guy. But the court may not see what I see. His dad thinks he shouldn't have to do it. Of course, he shouldn't have to do it...but you have to play the game, imo, and who cares? As long as you win, right?

Not a drug thing with him...he was at a club in Tampa and was with a bunch of kids on a bus. Bus driver told them they should go back and take a bathroom break before the trip back to the Keys...they went back and the club was closed. I guess the bouncers were out there and told them to get lost...my friends kid got knocked to the ground and came up shoving...oops...was a cop there and that is who he shoved. But ya know, this stuff can happen to any kid and funny how Jeb's kids got away with this crap again and again. Meantime, my friend's son is totally in the shit. But then, he is black...hmmmm.

Anyhow, I think he should play the game and totally do whatever is necessary...cut his hair or whatever. Hair grows back...He is dealing with a felony charge here; if cutting his hair works...I would do it.

[Ariana Celeste]

69. That's a messed up situation,

and a mistake anyone could have made. I completely agree with you, if cutting hair works, it works- and sadly enough some people do look down on long haired men. Jesus, a felony fucking charge for that? That's bogus. Our justice system at work. Sigh.

[cwydro]

72. Yes, and he is black

though his mom is white. Something I never understand anyway. I told her to tell him two words - "Barack Obama". He is a clean cut handsome intelligent man, I mean, hello, would ANYONE vote for him with dreads? Um, probably not. Even though he is the same person. It is a horrible truth but it is a truth and I just want him to get out of there with the least penalty possible. It is a fricking FELONY for crying out loud. I hope he will do whatever it takes. Sometimes this world is just a joke, ya know?

[SPKrazy]

37. I'd Think It Was Cool!

although there are other things I wish she'd come in and show me!
:evilgrin:

[cwydro]

39. Oh you WOULD!

And if you saw this woman's, um, uh, well let's just say RACK...you certainly would. Bad bad boy.

[SPKrazy]

41. Well, There Is No Doubt About It

my boss is without a doubt HAWT!

it makes it hard.. I mean difficult to concentrate when she's talking to me!

:evilgrin:

[cwydro]

43. Believe me

you could fall into this woman's cleavage and it would take a damn mountaineering expedition to get you out...

[SPKrazy]

47. Nahhhhhh!

I'll take my fantasy over that.

:evilgrin:

[In_The_Wind]

40. I might ask her if she was going to have them bronzed.

:evilgrin:

[cwydro]

58. She probably will.

Or perhaps put in a paperweight to keep. HEY! Are there such things as paperweights anymore???

[In_The_Wind]

62. Yes, they still make paperweights.

Silly aren't they? :shrug: After all just about anything that isn't wet will do the trick.
She could have them cast in a small plastic replica of their home.

[cwydro]

67. I think paperweights must have been

for the days when we used fans instead of central ac.

No doubt she has them displayed in her home...she is a compulsive Christmas decorator, so perhaps they will appear again on the tree next year...lol.

[Danger Mouse]

44. I would say...

...'Uhhh, congratulations?'
Then start looking for a new job ^_^

[pitohui]

45. i would probably say "how nifty" and change the subject EOM

,

[mike_c]

48. "Can I taste them...?"

They look yummy.

[cwydro]

49. You and datasuspect

should get together, lol, see that post upthread!:rofl:

[Xipe Totec]

50. Beautiful! You should have them mounted on earrings

and try to keep a straight face when you say it.

[judaspriestess]

52. COOL - I'd ask her to dissect them for me

n/t

[The empressof all]

54. Mmmmm---I wonder how much they'd go for on E Bay?

Really........

[cwydro]

73. Now. That is funny

that might really appeal to her...

[salin]

59. "while I am sorry for your discomfort due to these...

no offense, but i would prefer not to have to see them..."

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

61. I'd whip out my bag of marbles and challenge her to a game

I'd have those suckers off her in a hot second.

The stones, that is...

:rofl:

[begin_within]

63. Offer to let her inspect the contents of your colostomy bag?

[struggle4progress]

64. "Red is nice. I might have gone with aqua."

[struggle4progress]

65. "I think I still have my appendix in a jar of alcohol. I should bring it in."

[cwydro]

75. OMG!

I did get my appendix out when I was 12...what a great idea! (No I don't have it, lol)

I am sure she will bring more of these specimens around...and now I'll be ready...sigh, sadly this will sail over her head.

[struggle4progress]

76. I really think #64 is classier, though on reflection it should be transposed:

<thoughfully> I might have gone with aqua <pause ... then brightly> Red is nice!

The idea is to sound as if you're not quite interested enough to devote full attention to what she's showing you (she obviously doesn't get to choose the color of the stones) and seem to question ever-so-slightly her taste in stones, all redeemed by the final polite (but clueless) compliment on the nice color of the stones.

[cwydro]

91. Yes.

Very good.

I'll be prepared, if god forbid, there is a next time.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

66. High five! WooHoo! You passed!

just congratulate her. If she's showing them, she's proud of them.

:)

[cwydro]

77. Yes, I think she was indeed proud of them

you're right.

[philosophie_en_rose]

70. "Oh my Gosh! I can't look at that."

"Sorry."

[Little Wing]

71. I'd double-dog-dare her to swallow them like pills

:evilgrin:

[cwydro]

78. Oh gag.

I wonder what she would have said...

[astral]

74. She was just fascinated her body made a couple a rocks

Innocent of the grossness of it, probably. I don't think it's so unforgivable. I have never seen anybody's kidney stones before, and doubt if I'll be making any of my own! hah haaah! But, hey, maybe she thought they were Purty or something! Her lil' ROck Babies!

[cwydro]

80. Well, she's made them before apparently

and is still proud of these latecomers. Yeck.

But you're right, she has no clue on the grossness of it. Ut maybe I'm just too squeemish..or not.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

81. "Ow. That had to hurt."

[graywarrior]

82. I helped my boss clean up her cat's puke that sprayed all over the window screen today

So, kidney stones might be a treat.

[cwydro]

85. ...

:rofl:

[mockmonkey]

86. I would say

"Nice catch!"

[cwydro]

89. THAT would have been

a fantastic response...Why didn't I think of that?:rofl:

[Skittles]

87. I'd tell her I was disappointed it didn't have antlers

yes INDEED

[NC_Nurse]

90. I've seen plenty of 'em.

No big deal.
