Does this qualify as schizophrenic?
You're really not going to believe this story. I can hardly believe it myself, and I was sitting there.
Now to be sure, my co-worker and I have a very fundamental personality conflict to begin with ('cause he's an ass) so I'm not likely to cut him alot of slack. But judge for yourselves.
Here we are, staying at a military base for three weeks, working on a contract. It's overseas, so we get to stay at the (rather nice) on-base hotel. So we're down in the bar one evening last week, and two women walk in for a drink. We ask them where they're from, what they're doing here, etc. It turns out that the older lady's son was seriously injured in an accident, and they're here on family emergency.
Fast forward 4 days. We're walking out of the hotel on our way to work, and we notice the lady now in the lobby of the hotel, looking just devastated. Her son has died of his injuries, and she's in shock and mourning. We file past and sit on a bench to wait for our ride in silence, thinking about how awful the whole thing is, and feeling very bad for the lady, indeed. Or at least that's what I thought we were thinking. The lady gathers her composure, and walks past us to the ATM, withdraws some cash, and walks back slowly, as if in a trance, past us again. She enters the hotel, and the door closes behind her. That is when my co-worker says quietly "She's got a hot little bod."
I nearly ripped his head off.
Thank you all for letting me vent.
