Trash talking?

Bea is the cleaning lady at work. I never know what to say to her when we pass in the hallway, so I usually toss out something intelligent like, "There's Bea!"

Yesterday, I was inspired.
As she rolled her trashcan-on-wheels into the breakroom , I gestured to her cart. "You ever take that thing down the stairs, Bea? I think you should. Just once."

"You're funny," she snorted. "They all tell me you're funny. I never listen to you on the radio, but they tell me you're funny."

"What? It's not like I'm suggesting you ride the thing down. Just give it a shove and watch it from the top step."

She only shook her head.

Thbbbt.

Don't mess with the cleaning lady. Ever. Else you'll find yourself riding the cart down the steps.

I totally would have suggested she ride it down. But offer her a crash helmet first.

Better check the seat before you sit for a while - Cleaning Ladies have ways to get their own back.....
