Nun The Wiser
(I’m the employee in this story. I’m working at a gym’s front desk, signing in members and guests. My coworker is tired of standing, so he has knelt down so that the counter comes up to his chest. Two girls come in to be checked in.)
Coworker: “Hi, guys! Don’t mind me; I’ve just decided to do all my work on my knees today!”
Me: *quietly, to my coworker* “You know who else works on their knees all day.”
Customer: “Who?”
Me: *after a pause* “Nuns.”

Not Acting Glassy
GYM | LEARNING | SEPTEMBER 12, 2016
(I am 12 years old and already wear high-prescription glasses. I’m also not very popular. The gym is huge with four courts. A ball hits my face and my glasses came off, yet everyone pays no attention and continues play down the court.)
Me: *gets down and feels for glasses* “Please help; I can’t find my glasses.”
(No response and I continue to feel around.)
Me: *to those on another court* “Hello, can you please help? My glasses fell off and I can’t find them.”
(No response and still feeling around, those on my court are coming back to me.)
Me: “Please STOP! My glasses are somewhere down here; don’t step on them. I can’t find them. Help, please!”
(Still being ignored, I grab one of them and get brushed away.)
Me: *screaming very loudly* “[Teacher]! Please help! My glasses fell off on the court and I can’t find them and everyone is ignoring me!”
Teacher: “What?!” *blows whistle* “Everyone stop what you’re doing.” *they all do* “What do I hear about no one helping this poor girl find her glasses? You better not have damaged them.”
(The teacher made those on my court apologise and find them. Thankfully, no damage. The teacher then gave them a large scolding about their behavior.)
