It’s Actually A Pretty Sick Story

(I work at a well-known global fast food restaurant. It is 10 o’clock at night and we are waiting for the last customer to leave so we can close. Note that I have a crush on my coworker.)

Customer: “I just want to let you know, my son threw-up in the playground. Someone needs to clean it up before he falls.”

(The customer’s son is four years old. He had just eaten an entire meal before playing on the playground.)

Manager: “You two!” *addresses my crush and I* “Go clean the playground up. Some kid threw up.”

(The whole clean up process takes almost two hours. My crush and I spent two hours cleaning vomit out of the plastic bubble. Four months later, we started dating. That was almost 4 years ago. We are happily married today. Not many people can say they met cleaning a stranger’s vomit out of a playground.)
