"Can't I call him darling?" - Fiel - 2009-02-06
alright, so I work as a lab consultant in the computer labs here. I help people out with minor troubleshooting issues, but this one issue I won't forget from tonight.
I'm sitting at my workstation and a tall, blonde man in his 30's comes up to me. He has a very thick dutch/germanic accent.
HIM: "Could I ask you a question?"
ME: "Of course. How can I help you?"
HIM: "When is it okay to use the word darling?"
ME: "Uhh... it really depends on the context. What's happening?"
HIM: "Well, like, is it okay for a guy to call another guy darling or is that strange?"
ME: "Might be a bit strange. Usually it's used from guy to girl on a more personal level. Or people use it when imitating rich people: 'dah-ling'. Otherwise, it's probably not a word you'd want to use on a guy. It might come out wrong."
HIM: "What would be a good replacement then? Something similar for a guy?"
ME: "What kind of relationship do you have with him? Acquaintance? Long-time friend? What?"
HIM: "Well, let's just say we've been friends for a while."
ME: "Just say 'buddy', or 'bro', which is short for 'brother'. That's good enough."
HIM: "What is wrong with darling? Can't I call him darling?"
ME: "Probably not a good idea. Just stick with buddy or bro."
HIM: "Okay, thank you."
He left, and I'm left wtp'ing at the convo. Five minutes later he comes back.
HIM: "I have another question."
ME: "Go ahead."
HIM: "He says he peed."
ME: "He what?"
HIM: "He peed. Is that slang for something?"
ME: "Well, what is the sentence? I need some context."
HIM: "I'll be right back. I write it down."
He goes back to his computer, writes it down, and comes back.
HIM: Here, I have this. *He hands me a sheet of paper*
The paper reads, "Don't you remember how I peed? It was everywhere."
ME: "Oh, well, peeing is like... Well, do you know what a penis is?"
He turned beet red.
HIM: "Yes?"
ME: "Well, the yellow stuff out of the penis. When it shoots out. That is peeing. He peed, so he was peeing in the past."
HIM: "OH! THAT'S PEEING!" (Ed: He said that a bit loud)
ME: "Is there anything else I can do to help you sir?"
HIM: "Nono, thank you much."
I went to the bathroom, shat bricks, and cried myself to tears.

Computer Lab consultant? At first, I thought it was a HelpDesk / Customer Service job, but regardless, that was full of lol. Gotta love people that weren't born and raised in America!

Bad parenting is what caused this to happen to him I bet.
