The Phone rings

[Lynnie]

Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cellular phone on a
bench rings and a man engages the hands-free speaker function and
begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen.

MAN: "Hello"

WOMAN: "Hi Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?"

MAN: "Yes."

WOMAN: "I'm at the shops now and found this beautiful leather coat. It's only $2,000; is it OK if I buy it?"

MAN: "Sure, go ahead if you like it that much."

WOMAN: "I also stopped by the Lexus dealership and saw the new models. I saw one I really liked."

MAN: "How much?"

WOMAN: "$90,000." ;

MAN: "OK, but for that price I want it with all the options."

WOMAN: "Great! Oh, and one more thing... I was just talking to Janie and found
out that the house I wanted last year is back on the market. They're
asking $980,000 for it."

MAN: "Well, then go ahead and make an
offer of $900,000. They'll probably take it. If not, we can go the extra
eighty-thousand if it's what you really want."

WOMAN: "OK. I'll see you later! I love you so much!"

MAN: "Bye! I love you, too."

The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are staring at him in astonishment, mouths wide open.

Then he smiles and asks, "Anyone know whose mobile this is?"

ROTFLOL.

A couple of years ago I got a completely random sms from someone, the sms read basically as follows.

"Good morning sir. I will be unable to come to work this morning because of a personal issue."

To which I just had to respond.

"That's completely fine. Take as much time as you need to sort things out."

Believe it or not, the idiot responded to that one with no idea of who he was actually talking to with.

"Thank you so much."

I still wonder if that dude ever kept that job. If you're going to take the risk of sending your boss an SMS (which is a cop out IMHO in the first place) then please make sure you have the right number.

In this country there seems to be a notion that you have a right to money with work being optional!

[HadEnoughofJuju]

There is a difference being paid to be at work and being paid to do your work. Mostly in South Africa people think they are being paid to be at work.

Hahaha Brad76, you're so right ! My dad worked at Dept of Transport in Bloemfontein till he retired, and shortly before he retired, AA took action also in their department. They got a new lady in an office on their floor, who just sat there, doing nothing. Someone confronted her with her lack of dutifulness, to which she responded (and this is as true as I'm sitting here typing !): I only applied for the job, not for the work ...
