unintended disparagement
I was working on something important when my lab phone wailed. As I was the nearest to that damn noisy thing (25 feet away), I went ahead to answer it … was greeted by a “somehow sweet” female voice. She asked for our lab technician, named Doof.
I then put the lady on hold and yelled for Doof’s name.
Me: “Doof ! Phone call for you !” [proceed to walk back to my table]
Doof: [snit look on his face] “Who’s that ?”
Me: “Some girl with a sweet voice … your girlfriend perhaps…”
Doof: [glowed like a lightbulb] “Ooooooo… thanks”
Doof dashed excitedly to the phone… while I continued to do what I’m supposed to be doing, while wondering how could a sleaze like Doof managed to get himself such a neat girlfriend. It was kinda like a stray thought.
Doof talked for about a whole minute and hung up. He then walked up to me and gave that disgusted stare…
I looked back at him.
“What ? What are you looking at ?”
“Sweet voice you say ?? My girlfriend ?? You bastard !”
“What the fuck ??”
“That’s PANDA you dolt !! My girlfriend ain’t no Panda !! You trying to insult me or what ??”
I’ve never seen him so aggravated before. Apparently, I was also irked by my sudden drop in esteem to refer that bearlike mammal as “sweet”. I duly responded to Doof’s confrontation with a mere yelp … and repeatedly smacked my head with my own palm.
Damn it dudes… next time you hear a “sweet” voice on the phone, don’t be too quick to judge it yet. You might be speaking to a disastrous looking person. Like Panda. Ugghhh.
That’s why. People will change better after bombarded by some impact, like kena sacked…..
I mean what’s wrong with being Panda?
Ugly people deserves the right to live.
Fugly people deserves the right to live and not get insulted just by the way the look.
Hehehe!!
That’s why us Tech Support over the phone have low expectation of a sweet/cute voice over…. And there’s one example of another technie who had a sweet voice but her looks killed many guys who were enchanted by her voice…
lol
well no one says they dun deserve to live. Just that there’s cruel people in this world who laughs/jokes /insult them. ANyhow, life still goes on…
Jase - I think I know who you’re talking about… heheh…
Hey,
Why judge Michael like that? As if you’ve never said anything negative about anyone’s looks. Besides, it seems like he mostly dislikes her for her stupidity. Not her looks.
Shh… don’t let her know…
