My co-worker excitedly chatted about her family trip to Busch Gardens over the Bird day holiday. Since the office was closed on Thursday and Friday, she was supposed to be taking the entire week off along with the beginning of the following week. So it was peculiar when we walked in the day before Bird Day and she was sitting at her desk, typing away.
She tends to be a bit chatty so no one wanted to start what could prove to be a really long conversation. We all just figured that we'd just wait for some poor, unsuspecting soul to inquire.
There is always one.
He came around the corner with a smile on his face and happiness in his heart. He stopped at her cubicle and said:
Poor Man: "Hey Dorothy! I thought you were supposed to be in Tampa on vacation."
Dorothy: "I was"
PM: "Oh, why are you back so soon?"
Dorothy: "It was packed"
PM: "Oh, well it's usually packed during the holidays"
Dorothy: "Yes"
PM: "So why are you here"
Dorothy: "I'm working. Why are you here? Clearly you're not"
PM: (silence)
Sir....pull up. Clearly this isn't the conversation for you.

Let someone say that to me and there would be a flurry of smart comments coming her way about how dumb she was for coming in when she is supposed to be on vacation among other things that would hurt her feelings.
