We have a cafeteria at work. I sometimes get my lunch there.
Also, this stuff happens…
Awkward Conversation #1
a conversation I repeatedly have with the Cashier lady who’s a little too nice to me.
Cashier Lady: How are your kids doing? Two boys, right?
Me: Nope A boy and a girl. And they’re doing well.
Cashier: I always think you have two boys.
…2 weeks later…
Cashier Lady: How are your kids doing? You have two girls, right?
Me: Nope A boy and a girl. And they’re doing well.
Cashier: I always think you have two girls.
Me, in my head: No you don’t, you confused liar.

Awkward Conversation #2
conversation I overheard last week…
Lady: I’ll have the steak with the risotto
Chef, trying to be fancy: What temperature would you like your steak?
Lady: Umm…warm?
Chef, deflated because he remembers he is in a work cafeteria: No, I mean rare, medium, or well-done?

Awkward Conversation #3
another awkward conversation with the cashier lady who’s a little too nice to me
Cashier Lady: So are you nervous about the layoffs everyone’s talking about?
Me: No, I think I’ll be okay. And it doesn’t help to worry about it anyway.
Cashier Lady: It’s too bad they don’t determine who stays and goes based on looks, you’d have nothing to worry about.
Me: *mumbles, puts head down, and slowly walks away*

There’s more, but I think we’ll stop there for now.
What about you? Overheard any awkward conversations recently?
Better yet, have you been in any?
