As the hospital I work for continues to cut workers hours and positions I remembered a situation I put myself in a few years ago. I was invited to a after-work party at a supervisors house. No, not my supervisor, so I decided why not a few other people were going that had been to one of his after-work parties before and I thought, why not.So, I finish my shift and hitch a ride with a guy friend of mine that works under him and is friends with him and was familiar with where we were going and such.
So we were on our way over and He says "I hope this doesn't freak you out, but him and his wife are a bit freaky". So of course I asked "WHAT do you mean by freaky?"? I was thinking maybe they had monkeys for pets or they had bright pink curtains or something.
I definitely wasn't thinking when I walked in, that there would be 3 big screen TV's broadcasting HARDCORE PORN and that the house would be lit up by black lights and that the entire kitchen would be lined from wall to wall covering every counter top with bongs! Or that there would be naked...NAKED people playing ping pong! I'm very serious when I tell you, I was there less than 5 mins!
I was totally freaked out! I am not the partying type and I have never done drugs of any kind or even tried them! I made my friend take me back to my car immediately! From then on I never accepted another invite to an after-work party unless I personally knew the person , because its perfectly clear to me there is a definitive difference between knowing someone personally and knowing someone professionally!
that is so random of these people, weird, and why invite people form your work???
ReplyDeleteI don't know why they invited me? I feel like I should have been frustrated and pissed off that they thought I would be interesting in their personal "pot-smoking, orgy, ping-pong party" OMG I was applauded that they invited me! However not even a month later that same supervisor got fired for sending a picture of his dick to one of his employees! Surprised? Not at ALL!
ReplyDeleteHOLY!!! Um, yeah, I would have hightailed it outta there like there's no tomorrow. I mean, to each his/her own, but...COME ON! Very odd. I'm sorry you had to see that!!
ReplyDeleteYes I was mortified, seriously these were people I seen at work on a daily basis!
ReplyDeleteI am sitting here wondering if it is possible that you accidentally time travelled and walked into my house when I was a kid...the 70's were full of stupidity like this.
