Workplace Stories:
In the inevitable Christmas vs Holiday party debate, I was asked, "Do you celebrate Christmas?" to which my prompt reply before exiting the room was, "No I gave it up for Lent".
Ruby, the most crazy coworker ever, stated she does not go to the car wash because as soon as she does it always rains afterward. A confused me said, "Ruby, it only rains like twice a year here?" and even more confused Ruby replied, "Oh yeah?"
With my Spanish Tutor Miguel:
We had class at a Mexican restaurant. I know the basics such as if a noun ends in an O it is masculine and if it ends in an A then it is feminine and he was trying to teach me how to figure out if nouns ending in other letters were masculine or faminine. He would write a Spanish noun and then say does that look masculine or feminine? I told him that because I am a native English speaker it does not occur to me as masculine or feminine since I have no point of reference. I said take umbrella for instance it does not seem very masculine or feminine at all. As soon as I said that within a millisecond I followed it up with, in an exaggerated fey manner, "Although if you put the word parasol next to umbrella it does make the word umbrella seem downright butch!". Miguel spit out his drink because of his laughing. It was at that point I chuckled.
