Coworker Chronicles Part 2
The Le Douche saga continues…
… today we had lunch which our boss treated us to. We went to a nice steakhouse and invited one of the guys we are working with to come eat with us. Kind of like bribery but not really and more of a thanks for being cool with us so here’s some food. The guy that wasn’t from our company is also slightly… big-boned so let’s just call him Doughboy.
So we took Doughboy out to lunch and his job is pretty much telling us to do things better because his company is paying us to do a project. He needs to contact us if a certain part of the project is not up to par and most of this stuff just happens to be related to the work that I am responsible with. But since I did not have a company phone yet, he calls Le Douche all the time to relay the message to me. Le Douche hates this by the way and I always get a, “why don’t you have your phone yet?!” whenever Doughboy calls.
So this morning, my phone arrived. The first thing Le Douche did when he heard the boss handing me the phone was walk over and say, “call Doughboy now. Give him your number so he doesn’t keep calling me.” Wow. Chill out homie. I just got the phone one minute ago.
So now back to lunch. We’re just finishing lunch and Le Douche looks at me and starts grinning like a bastard. He says, “hey Doughboy, you know…Johnny just got his phone today. You can start radio-ing him when you need to talk to him.”
Doughboy: Oh is that right? Okay. That’s cool. I’ll get his number later.
Le Douche: No, I have his radio number right here. I’ll give it to you now.
*Smiles like a big idiot*
Doughboy: Alright, what’s his radio number?
So Le Douche gives him my radio number and he’s like smirking and giggling and it’s one of those I-want-to-punch-you-in-the-face moments. I mean I didn’t mind giving Doughboy my number because I had to do it anyway but Le Douche did it in a way that was well… very douchebag of him.
So Doughboy tries to call the radio code.
Doughboy: Uh… it says ‘service restricted’
Hahaha! No connection sucka! I guess my phone doesn’t work with phones outside of the company! Le Douche’s smile quickly disappeared as he gave me a quick glance of a “damn you” look. I just smiled back.
Lunch was very delicious. =)
Also annoying at lunch: Le Douche kept saying “wow this is very tasty” or “this is extremely scruptious” or “gee golly. this is very delicious” (I kid you not. Gee Golly)
Also annoying-er back at work: singing ‘Doo-bee-doo-bee-doooo…’ over and over again while you work. What are you six years old?
