Two wasted opportunities :-(

Re-reading a lot of sentences lately, and this one can be explained two-fold too; "she did not understand it" vs. "she did not fetch it". If the dude assumed the latter, you'd be coming across as impatient. Having worked in a place where no one had seen "Office Space", I feel your pain :thumbsup:

Yup, he did assume the latter meaning. Which is kind of the second wasted opportunity.

None of your spoons are belong to us! Also, been there done that, the pain (and awkwardness) of a great joke wasted on the wrong public :laugh:

I picked up a few items for lunch at the cafeteria and there was this cashier woman who took my payment. The cutlery box is usually just beside the till, which I found only had forks and knives. I immediately had an ear-to-ear smile, and told her with gleeful eyes: "There is no spoon" (I did my best with the voice). The lady said "I'm sorry, I'm sorry", started backing away and went straight into the kitchen and shrieked "somebody bring the spoons from the dishwasher, please". She must have taken me either for some kind of a psycho creep, or a en entitled prick. I giggled at the dude behind me in line, and said "I can't believe there was a real-life scenario that let me tell someone 'there is no spoon', but I think she unfortunately didn't get it". This dude's face turned almost pale, and he responded confusingly: "Sorry mate, the cutlery comes from the dishwasher and the staff could sometimes be behind in replenishing it at the front. You could drop in a complaints/compliments form on the box as you go out". :doh: /FML
I had to google it to get it too. Maybe that'll be one of the benefits of cyber-devices: understanding other people's humor. ;)

I've seen things you woodchucks wouldn't believe. Attack hamsters on fire off the shoulder of Oracle. I watched C-Sharps glitter in the dark near the Maunder Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
