My Man.

Looks like the theme of this week’s posts is “annoyance.” Eh, screw it – every week's theme is annoyance.

At my gym last month, I suddenly needed to make a call, so I ran outside to my car and took care of it. When I came back in, the diminutive fella who works the front desk asked me for my ID and tried to exert his authority with a slight scolding.

Since then, I’ve been giving my improv skills a workout, by greeting him with a new nickname every morning. Here are a few of my favorites:
  • Squirt
  • Junior
  • Tattoo
  • Webster
  • Bill Shoemaker
  • Kucinich
  • Scrappy Doo
  • Eddie Gaedel
  • Finster
  • Spud
  • DeVito
Here’s hoping the runt checks the attitude in the future.
