My team was having a very heated discussion inside a meeting room today. It was a small room that wouldn’t fit all of us, so, I kinda have to stand right in front of the closed door.

The discussion went on until way past the time it’s supposed to end, without us realizing it. (In our workplace, meeting rooms are very limited resources, we’ll have to book it to call for a meeting).

After about 5 minutes past the due time, a petite lady appeared right outside the door and took a peek into our meeting room (through a small glass opening of the door). As I was standing at the door, I immediately took notice of her and gave her a petulant glance through the window.

She was immediately taken aback. She then gestured skankily that she had already booked the meeting room for that subsequent hour and we better get the fuck out…..
Kidding. She actually did it coyly and was wearing a sheepish smile that would make any bloke feel like putting a high five right into her face compassionate of her.

So, I did her a favor. I interrupted the meeting.

“Psst psst … the skeletal lady outside has gone ballistic. She threatens to reveal her bare ribs if you guys don’t give her this room now. Let’s bail !”

Alright, kidding again. I didn’t actually said that. I just went “psst psst” and pointed at the lady outside the door. The guys said they needed 5 more minutes, and I gesticulated to her with my five fingers wide spread indicating “FIVE MORE MINUTES BITCH… FIVE MORE…” and turned back to concentrate on the wrap up of the discussion.

10 seconds later, she tapped on the glass again and gave me the puppy-with-sad-eyes look. If she’s a cute or pretty young girl, it would have worked. But the problem is, she looks like a freshly excavated Incan mummy that has just awaken from it’s thousand year slumber. 2 barf cycles neat. I don’t dig mummified chicks with dehydrated tits.

I gave her a slightly disgusted look. Again, she pointed here and there in random, which was beyond my comprehension. I tried to jokingly gesture to her - “No I’m not giving up this room” - but she just could not get it.

That was when I opened up the door wide enough for me to speak to her .. and the whole meeting room paused.

“Ehek ehek .. sorry yea,… i oledi booked the loom…”
“Yep, we’re wrapping things up…. say.. in about … 3 hours”
“Huh !?”
“I’m just pulling your leg, lady. 5 minutes”

When I turned back into the meeting room, I could hear one of the managers’ said

“Kanneh .. lu kua ee eh bin … kia si lang …”
(translation : “Fuck .. just look at her … so damn scary..”)

We then wrapped up quickly and left the meeting room without looking back. Seriously, if she were to strip to her bare ribs, we would have committed suicide by deliberately choking ourselves with our own cellphones or with our notebooks. Serious.
