Dandruff And Huff About It
(I work at the front desk of a gym that has locker rooms stocked with mouthwash, deodorant, soap, and hairspray. Our showers are stocked with soap and shampoo. One of our members, a middle-aged man, approaches me at the desk.)
Member: “Excuse me, but why does the mouthwash in the showers taste like shampoo?”
Me: “I haven’t actually been in the men’s showers myself, but I know the women’s showers do not have a mouthwash dispenser — only shampoo and soap.”
Member: “The mouthwash definitely tasted like shampoo. I hope it was mouthwash…”
Me: *turning to my male coworker a few feet away* “[Coworker], do we keep mouthwash in the men’s showers?”
Coworker: “No… there’s only shampoo and soap in there.”
Member: *with a worried look on his face* “Oh. Um, thank you. Bye now.”
(The member leaves immediately.)
Coworker: “Do you think he was joking?”
Me: “No, he was definitely serious. That guy gargled shampoo.”
