I Must Confess

Over at Drunken Wisdom T1G takes the opportunity to share with us some of the games guys like to play. Heh. Having raised three boys not a single one of those surprised me. :-)

His final question is "And you ladies... do you have any games that you play with each other? *wink, wink, nudge, nudge*"

At first I just laughed and thought "Yeah right"....

Then I realized - holy crap, I have played THE game. And at work even!!! YIKES. Am I even more immoral than I thought?!?!?!

Let me explain.

When I worked at the steel mill, way back when, the department I was in had their own building right off the mill. It was all tile so you could hear someone walking anywhere. It was mostly guys, just a couple of us girlies so of course we girls bonded pretty tight.

Now, I've always been a bit of a smart ass. And if I can't think of something to say I'll usually use a gesture of one type or 'nother to get my point across. Hey - I have no problem with non-verbal communication. Also - I should probably mention that I wore a lot of skirts. I call them "flippy skirts" as they would fall just above the knee and have enough material to swish when you walk.

So - one day I'm walking down the hall and one of the girls I worked with said something smart and I just kept walking and flipped my skirt up at her - basically a partial moon. She about shit. Then she started tellin' everyone what I did. NONE of the guys believed her.

"Not OUR Tammi!! She's WAAAAY too lady like!!!"

Hehehehehehe

So it became a game. She would try to set me up so that one of the guys would see me do it, and they'd stop calling her a liar. This went on for years! She just couldn't get me. Until.....

One day - I was cruisin' down the hallway and she popped out of her office with yet another smart remark. I don't remember exactly what was said, but it was worthy of more than just a quick flip. So I stopped, never turning around, and lifted my skirt while cocking my hip. Pause, and then go.

The laughter that erupted echoed throughout the building. What I didn't know was the little shit had a couple of the VPs hidden just inside her office. It was a set up!!!

Good thing I always wear coordinating panties. I never did hear the end of that one.

The benefit was when I got promoted a few months later (hmmmm - never realized the timing on that before) I got a really nice gift certificate for Victoria Secret. Well, that and they STILL talk about that!!!

Ahhh the games people play.................
