Meatball mishap

[TopDaugIn2000]

Today is our office Christmas party. I loaded my arms up with my purse, coat, chocolate candy, banana bread, umbrella, and huge crock pot full of meatballs and went in the POURING rain on my LONG HIKE to the building. I hustled, trying not to lose anything, and trying to stay sort of dry. As I was ENTERING the buildilng, some guy held the door open for me, and then just as I got about 1/2 way in the door he let go of it and it slammed me in the arse, making me DROP THE WHOLE POT OF MEATBALLS AND BBQ SAUCE!!! Of course it shattered all over my shoes and the floor, and the a$$hat just kept walking. Another guy stopped by and got me a trashcan, then took it out to the dumpster for me.

My hands still smell of bbq sauce, and I'm still pi$$ed!!!!!

I've been teased all day about "you know what would go really good with this sammich?? some MEATBALLS!"

[Fugue]

wow, that "don't let the door hit ya" saying took on a new meaning for you.

[TopDaugIn2000]

no kidding.

[Fugue]

were you able to salvage any balls?

[TopDaugIn2000]

no, they all had glass in them.



ouch, right?

[crawfish]

That's NOTHING compared to the "noodle incident".

[GottaHavePride]

1. That sucks.

2. The guy opens a door for you and he's the a$$hat? How did the door hit you, did you stop in the middle of the doorway or something? Usually once a person is halfway in a door it's safe to let go because their momentum will carry them through the doorway before the door closes behind them.

I was part way in the door, and I couldn't get my umbrella thru, so I paused for a second, that's when he just let the door close and walked away.

[NormanPride]

Is the a$$hat a guy you see regularly? Can you get away with keying his car? Or dumping the glassy meatballs in his driver's seat? :D

[TopDaugIn2000]

never seen him before. there are several thousand people in this building.

[TopDaugIn2000]

yes, I should have just made 2 trips, but it was pouring down rain and I thought I could handle it all in only 1. WRONG.

[Fugue]

never seen him before. there are several thousand people in this building.

and you only brought 1 pot?

[GottaHavePride]

I was part way in the door, and I couldn't get my umbrella thru, so I paused for a second, that's when he just let the door close and walked away.

Ah. See, with that much to carry I would have just ditched the umbrella. Actually, Inever use umbrellas anyway - my hair looks the same wet as it does dry and being damp doesn't bother me. I would have put the banana bread and chocolate candy in a plastic bag so I could loop it over an arm, leaving both hands free to deal with the meatballs.

Well, or I would have asked the nearest cute chick if she'd mind helping me carry something. :D

[BlondeSoonerGirl]

and you only brought 1 pot?

Yeah, but now all thousands of them get to smell it all day.

:D

[TopDaugIn2000]

out little office had the party, about 20 people.

[toast]

"Mamma mia, that's a spicy meatball!"

[Fugue]

Yeah, but now all thousands of them get to smell it all day.

:D

Jesus actually feeds the 5,000. TD just makes 'em smell like they ate. :D

You would surely catch your death of pneumonia.

Pffff. If it's raining REALLY hard I'll put on a hat or wear a coat with a hood. That's only to block the falling toads and cats, though.

Youd have asked a really cute chick to help you "carry your balls " ?
Man you do have a set :D

I'm disappointed that nobody on the SO got the C&H reference. :rolleyes:

Obviously I would have had the girl in question carry the candy and bread. Or I'd just ask her if she'd mind holding the umbrella for me - gets her close, right? ;) I'd carry my own balls.

And damn! I missed the C&H! I'm slipping.

I THINK I might have seen the guy today, not sure though. I remember he was a big burley Harley type guy, but that's about 99.9991234784712894% of the civilians that work here.....
