Shouldn’t Have Aided Him

(I am a receptionist at a senior home. When we clock in or out we have to put one hand on a pad that scans it. I’m sitting at the desk on a Sunday afternoon and when one of the laundry guys walks by:)

Laundry Guy: *while walking* “Can I throw this in your garbage?”

Me: *sticking hand out* “Yeah, no problem!” *assuming it is paper or a wrapper or something*

Laundry Guy: *dropping used band aids in my hand* “Thanks! It wouldn’t let me clock in with these on!”

(I’ve never washed my hands harder or used more hand sanitizer in my life.)
