Sometimes the strangest things happen at work. For example, it wasn’t too long ago that an older patient came up to one of the clerks to check out. As he was standing before her desk the clerk noticed that the zipper to his pants was down. The clerk said that she noticed the zipper was down and wondered, “what’s that thing hanging out?” It didn’t take her long to figure out what the thing was. She said she pushed away from her desk and thought to herself, “His Pee-Pee is hanging out.” Apparently the older man wasn’t wearing any underwear and his penis was sticking out of his unzipped fly.

After the initial shock of seeing old guy’s penis hanging out of his unzipped fly my co-worker started laughing uncontrollably. I don’t know if I would have done the same in that situation. I just don’t think that most guys in general would laugh at another guy’s penis, especially if you’re sitting at your desk and the other guy is standing on the other side so his penis is hanging just about at eye level.

To be honest, I think I would have said something like, “Sir, your fly is open and you can keep that pen you’re using and anything else you touched on my desk.”

My co-worker told the man, “Sir, your zipper is down and your … uh …. Well, your thing is hanging out.” She then added. “If you want we can get someone to help you with that.” She turned to my other male co-worker and asked, “Chris, can you help this man with his zipper?”

Chris turned and said something along the lines of “I ain’t touching that.”

At this point I was laughing - I tried not to, but it was just too funny not to laugh.

The patient said, “Mama, I can handle it myself. It’s embarrassing enough already.” The man tucked his penis into his pants, zipped them up, and went on his way as if nothing out of the ordinary had just taken place.

I went up to my co-worker Chris and said, “Dude, you should have helped him. That would made for some awesome customer service. I bet you would have even gotten an award for that.”

He looked at me with a strange look on his face. “Shut up. I’m not going to touch some guys dick and zip up his pants for him.”

“Dude,” I said, “you could have gotten a customer service award, maybe even a fifty-nine minute early out.”

“I don’t care. I’m not touching some other guy’s dick.” We were laughing about it now.

I said, “I would have written the letter for you.”

“Shut up.“

The letter would have gone something like this:

To Whom it may concern:

Please consider my co-worker Christopher for a customer service award. Today we had an older patient come in who seemed to lack any stamina at all. He just seemed to be dragging his entire body along. Not only did the gentleman lack stamina or energy but it seems that he might be a bit on the forgetful side as well, since he had forgotten to zip his pants and for whatever reason had decided to go commando for the day, so he was not wearing any underwear. Maybe he forgot to put them on. Christopher noticed that the man was just hanging out, flapping in the wind and he did what a lesser man would not do. He rose to the occasion and helped the patient tuck his penis back in his pants and carefully zipped him back up so there would not be any unnecessary pinching. If this is not going above and beyond in the customer service department, then I don’t know what is. Please consider Christopher for an award as it’s not everyday that a man tucks another man’s penis in and zips him up.

Thank-you
