I am 25 years old now and work in a manufacturing and distribution facility. When I was a kid, I always thought adults acted "old" and were usually wakled the straight and narrrow line. But now that I have been in the workplace for a few years, I am shocked at how "high school" things still are. In fact there is a song by a group called Bowling for Soup that has a song called "High School Never Ends" and it is so true.
We have a large warehouse and it has about 25 material handler folks and when I go there to check on items that have been received, I am amused at the conversations I overhear. First, a lot of the guys there like to pretend they are gay and will say things like "Don't bend over like that Robert, my wifes away on a business trip." Or "I like that shirt Carlos, it fits so tight and highlights your pecks"
Some of the guys will approach another worker and then fart and run off. Now in case you are assuming these are all young guys, that is not the case. They range from the early 20's to the late 50's and age seems to have little effect on how they behave other than the older ones call in "sick" less.
What sparked me to write this was what happened yesterday. There is a couple who works here who have been seeing each other for a couple of years, but they go out of there way to hide it or at least make it not so obvious. Unfortunately everyone is pretty much aware of it and they do not seem to realize that. Anyhoo, their names are Rosa and Rich and yesterday I overheard one of them tell a coworker "What did Rosa say after giving oral to her boyfriend?" After the co-worker shrugged his shoulders, the other said "ooh, tastes Rich."
Are adults like this everywhere?
