OK! It is May 6, 2016 and this incident happened a few months back. I work as an Armed Security Guard, where the DoD has a few items in the building. The employees here are majority Engineers working in Labs and on high profile machinery. However, I started working here since February 2, 2016 and so far, the employees here have entertained me to the fullest. Here are a few stories, that I can honestly tell you; "Its the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth!"
"Good morning..."
A few weeks into my new job, I hear a lady say; "Good morning, poo-tow! How are you this morning?" I quickly turn around to see where this voice is coming from because it sounded like she was saying it to me, and I couldn't see her. The next morning, same thing; "Mornin' poo-tow!" Then I stand still, because I cannot believe what I'm hearing... "Is that what I think she's saying?" This morning greeting has been going on for two weeks now and I can't seem to find out who the hell is saying this!
Finally, one morning, I see a female Mexican janitor walking towards me and a small Asian lady walks by and says; "Good morning, poo-tow! How are you?" as though it's a wonderful greeting. The janitor then rolls her eyes shut and keep walking. OMG! It's the Asian lady saying that to a Mexican!? Oh-emm-gee!!
A few days later, I'm escorting a visitor to one of the offices and the Maintenance Supervisor had asked if I can meet in his office after I escort the guy to his destination. I arrive into the office and the small Asian lady is standing in front of the Supervisor's desk, explaining how disrespected she feels.
"I greet her, ungrateful self every morning..."
"I know she don't speak English very well, but she does not have to treat me like I'm a piece of trash!"
And she concluded with; "I want you to fire her for disrespecting me!"
The Supervisor looked my way and said; "Can you bring in *** (female janitor) please? And I'm gonna need you to stand by in here, so that you can escort *** off the premises.
Me: "Yeah, sure." However, I'm thinking in my head; "...Dude! This is going to be epic!"
By the time I bring in ***, the Asian lady had left the office. Then the Supervisor (who is also Mexican) starts speaking in Spanish. I don't speak Spanish, but I can read body language. Once the Supervisor stopped talking, the Janitor started to yell at the top of her lungs, flailing her arms around and facial expression says; "you gotta be fucking kidding me!"
Then the Supervisor's mouth drops and he says; "Did she really say that?" I jumped in and told him that for the past two weeks I heard and saw the Asian lady say; "Good morning, Poo-tow!" Poor guy just froze and had nothing to say. I further explained that the Asian lady is the one who needs to apologize to the Janitor! And that this type of behavior is grounds for the Asian lady to get fired for harassment, being a bully, making the work environment unsafe and uneasy to work in and so much more.
Talk about a great day at work!!! LMFAO!! Puto's!!

1998 - College Volleyball Shenanigans
I attended a NCAA Division II College playing Volleyball in the Mid-West. I had just left home on a tiny little island, graduating with 106 in my Senior class. Talk about a culture shock!
Fast forward to Volleyball season...
I was made Co-Captain of the Volleyball Team and we were preparing for our first tournament to Florida. Coach told us that we had to dress up during this trip because our blazers and pants didn't come in on time. So we had to wear khaki pants and the team polo shirts.
The morning of travel, the Captain called me and said; " Have the team wait for me in the gym. What ever you do, make sure that they are all in the gym!" I didn't think too much of it so I had the entire team; medical staff of two, the coaching staff of five, and 16 girls on the team, were all waiting for her in the gym.
Coach: "Where in the living hell is your Captain!?"
Me: "She said that her class was getting out late because the Professor had started the class late, Coach."
Coach: "Bull-Shit! If she's not here in two min..." and our discussion was cut off by the sound of heels on the gym floor: clickin' and clackin'. As an athlete, the number one sin in the gym is no heels and or street shoes on the gym floor. Sneakers only!
Then we all looked down the gym floor and saw our Captain walking in. She had on a bright red prom dress, hair in a french twist, a corsage on her wrist, make up done, a french manicure, and two-inch heels, just clickin' and clackin' on the gym floor!
We all fell down laughing our asses off! Talk about making an entrance, she did that! Coach's face dropped with her clip board. I walked backwards away from Coach and her face just froze in the are-you-fucking-kidding-me look. I've never ever laughed so hard and long in my life.
Captain just walked down to the team and apologized to Coach like nothing was wrong. Then coach told the team to grab your own bags, take it to the bus, but the Team Captain and Co-Captain will be in-charge of all the equipment bags this entire trip. I didn't care at this point, because my Captain was off the chain.
On our flight to and from Florida, the Captain had changed her seating at the front desk to sit next to Coach. Her prom dress was soaked in sweat, but everything was still intact. My abs was so sore through out the entire tournament and 20 years later, I'm still laughing like it happened just yesterday.
Great times!
