Be Careful How You Say It Part 2
Crazy Andy at work cracks me up. He used to sit in our bank of cubicles, but got switched into another section so he's a few banks away now. He used to sit in our bank for a long time, so all the other gals in my bank know him pretty well. He's not actually crazy, but super dramatic and lovvvvvvves attention. Anyways, he walked up to Cheryl with 5 minutes left in the work day and said to her, "I just came over to check you out." Now, from 99% of the men in a workplace, this would be a real bad thing to say, but from Andy, you gotta assume he was intending to say, check on you, but it got lost in translation (he's Vietnamese). Hilarious. So after Cheryl told me this, the next time he came up to my desk I said, hey Andy, did you come over to check me out? He got a super concerned look on his face like something was wrong with me.
