It dont pay to be nice !
Check this out and tell me what would you do ???
Yesterday I had a co-worker stop by my desk...she noticed that I had a large bottle of hand sanitizer on my desk. It was the brand made by Germ- X. She began asking me where I got it from.....I told her Walgreens. Paid $4 for it. No big deal...she went on to say how much she liked that kind and that it was hard for her to find.......yada, yada, yada......
Today she comes to my desk again, this time little bottle in hand talking about could she refill her travel/purse size bottle from my large bottle of hand sanitzer. I hesistated thinking well its just $4...you can drive and get your own. But I figured why be selfi**** dont hurt to share with someone no matter what it is, or the cir****tance.
I proceed to hand her the bottle and she takes it out of my office altogether......even though she could have simply filled her small bottle right in front of me. She had it with her at the time...... I thought it was strange that she would leave but ok. She comes back about 20 minutes later and half of my large bottle of hand sanitizer is missing. I looked at it and was shocked
I quickly looked at the bottle and said ....ummmmm you couldnt have just filled your bottle YOU must have filled up several iittle bottles because the product is more than halfway gone.
Im thinking.......... " didnt she realize that I would notice it "
" Is stupid stamped on my forehead or something "
Why would somebody who makes good money go to those extremes to take from someone else ??? We actually could buy the stuff by the case, and still not skip a beat. She completely denies taking more than a few squirts - talking about no she didnt fill up more than one bottle. When she saw that I wasnt backing down, she even had the nerve to get upset and just hand me the $4 for the bottle of sanitizer altogether talking bout I could just replace it altogether.
That worked for me to some degree.....BUT now Im without my santizer and my question is....why would someone just take advantage of my kindness. Is it that serious ??? Im trying to understand the nature of people. People got more game than a little bit I swear. Then they wonder why I keep my " guards" up when I come to work. Cause of sheisters just like this.
Thanks for listening family......and please know its not the hand sanitizer ( thats small ) compared to how I feel about this ghetto transaction right about now.

You feel me on this one huh ??? Love your suggestion
She's lucky Im a lady.
Cause I swear I want to kickbox her from my desk to the door and back.
I was thinking of swapping out the sanitizer for some K Y Jelly.
That way instead of feeling so fresh and clean she can feel hot and icky and be left wondering what happened.

Im very warm, personable and happy go luck most days.
People tell me I have that southern comfort thing going on.
But just cause I am...dont mean you can take advantage of me.
She was up to no good from jump. Im suprised I got here and it was still on my desk.
Basically she wanted to steal my thing and did......I just made sure to make her pay for it after.
But now I have to make a trip just to get some more.
You know whats so crazy I would have picked her up one if she asked me.
Something just dont seem right about how it went down. I swear.
I thought we were cool, now I know we arent. And she would do even worst next time.
Good thing there wont be another time for that. You cant burn me a 2nd time.
Im too sharp for that.
