(image googled.  No connection with the story, just that the author love cats pictures though at times afraid of real cats).

There’s one middle aged man at my workplace, but from different division.  This man is quite unpopular among colleagues and so far most feedback from people around him are not really good as this man is not very friendly, and most of the times can be very crude in his talking.  Moreover he has a poor image.  Many times when he comes out from the toilet, he has the habit of pulling his pants up while walking, well that’s his habit.  However, I personally think that we cannot judge a book by its cover, he may not be very pleasant to people, but he may be better than some hypocrites around, who knows.  Anyway, it’s non of my business, I’m not interested whether he’s nice or not, I don’t really know this man and has very less interaction with him though we are working in the same organisation but working in different divisions.

Few days ago, I had a very funny interaction with this man, just to share with you the joke, though to me should not be a joke.

Around 11am, I stepped out from my office and around the workshop area, I saw this man appeared in front of me.  I guess he was on the way to the common gents toilet which was around that area.  To my great surprise, he gave me a very sweet big smile, which I hardly see it usually, and for courtesy sake, I smiled back.  He then continued to walk, but across each other’s direction (his left against my left), and I don’t know what happened to both of us, hello my friends, not chemistry or whatever, know what, his left hand and my left hand hit against each other, and then, there was a loud “KOCK!!!” sound!  Guess what, my watch and his watch hit against each other!  I looked at my watch, luckily, still in good condition, but this man exclaimed “aiyoh!!!” I wonder my watch hit his watch or his hand, I think should be his watch, otherwise there should not be any ”KOCK!!!” sound.  He then “AIYA, AIYA”, and then stepped into the gents toilet.  I then shared this joke with my colleagues and we had a good laugh over it.  They were teasing me, why so coincident, watch can hit watch, if this coincidence can apply to lottery, how nice.

    A great article here! Thanks Star!

    I don’t believe in coincidences Star. As you said – don’t judge a book by its cover, and then he smiles at you and your watches connect. Perhaps you are the only person who has been nice to him there. He could end up being a friend perhaps.

  • Jimmy Shilaho on Apr 2, 2011

    A good story. You know what, he mayactually end up being a great friend.

  • fagina on Apr 2, 2011

    Hope you have more of such coincidences so that we will get to read more of such articles :)

    Quite similar to the poetic Story The Smile which I wrote in 2009…. Nice one!!!!

    Funny share

  • haydenise on Apr 2, 2011

    haha this happened to me, although I forgot who I bumped my watch with

  • Michal Dorcak on Apr 2, 2011

    For some reason, I cannot understand what is so funny about this. It happens to me all the time, mostly in summer when my watch is not covered by clothes. Though, I wear my watch in a little odd way. I am right-handed and yet I wear my watch on the right hand :) .

    :) nice share

    Star, sorry to hear that your watch was broken. Hope it can be fixed. BTW, do you see more of this man after the watch-hit-watch?

  • Starpisces on Apr 3, 2011

    thanks friends for your comments.

    @Linda – Actually I always see this man around since we work in same organisation, but hardly talk to him, but the first interaction with him was really not a pleasant one. However I have realised one thing about this man is that he’s not so unfriendly as what others have mentioned.

    @Lennox/Jimmy – to be a friend with this man, er.. very unlikely, some can only remain as colleagues, as totally no chemistry and frequency.

  • LCM Linda on Apr 3, 2011

    Star, I think you have inner beauty that makes people feel comfortable to see / interact with you. I’m proud of you. You need not take that man as a friend if you don’t wish to. Just be yourself as usual would be fine.

  • PR Mace on Apr 3, 2011

    Excellent read.

  • Lady Sunshine on Apr 3, 2011

    Watch hitting watch? I don’t think that has ever happened to me. lol. A weird and enjoyable read, Star. And cats are adorable. ^_^

  • SharifaMcFarlane on Apr 4, 2011

    Lol
    What is the lottery number for accident?

  • CA Johnson on Apr 5, 2011

    I enjoyed your story. I wish I could have that type of luck for the lottery too. That is really something that it took something like that for you and your coworker to speak to each other.
