Random Acts of Stupidity of Marilyn & Wilma

The names have been changed to protect the guilty. Marilyn and Wilma are co-workers of The Dog and Cat. The Cast of Characters are explained in Post #2 (March 06).
In case you're wondering - we don't make this stuff up - nor do we exaggerate it. We would never come up with this on our own! We can't laugh out loud at work, so we use this as a way to laugh and vent some of the frustrations.
Do you also have to live/work with stupidity such as this? Leave a comment and let us know!

I'll Cover For You, Then I'm Snitching!

Last Friday found only Marilyn and Wilma working in the department and today they were laughing about something they did, so we made them confess so we could share it with you, so here goes:

Wilma told Marilyn she was going on break - which means she was going outside to smoke so Marilyn needed to answer any phone calls. Then Wilma forgot to go outside! She lit her cigarette and was smoking while sitting at the reception desk. Marilyn hears Wilma squealing and comes out to see what is wrong. Wilma had realized what she was doing and was shouting "It's raining outside, what do I do? What do I do???" Apparently she came to her senses enough to take the cigarette outside. We're not sure if she finished it or threw it out.

Next, they see the CEO coming to the department so Marilyn grabs the Oust! air freshener she always has at her desk (another story we need to share) and starts spraying to try to cover the smell. It worked because either the CEO did not notice the smoke smell or he assumed it was coming from Wilma's clothing (or his own!)

About 15 minutes later Marilyn goes into the CEO's office laughing as she confesses the entire scenario. He must have laughed about it, too, because she was laughing as she told us.

The office went smoke-free long before Wilma became an employee so this wasn't a situation of a recent policy change and her lapsing into an old habit. It was just another random act of stupidity!
