At my new job, there are lots of little things that happen that are pretty funny. But, due to the complexity of everything, I don't really have time to reflect on them... and laugh. So, when I remember, I'm going to put them down here, for everybody else to enjoy.
For example, there is a group of 8 people who always wants to sit together. Unfortunately, the biggest tables we have only accommodate 6 comfortably. At their insistence, however, we continue to seat them together, squashing the chairs and place settings together. One lady, fed up with the squashed environment, started to complain loudly. We told her that we could split them up, seating them at two separate tables. But, no, that would not do. Instead she asked, "Why don't you just make the chairs smaller?"
Ahh, the privileges of being rich and retired. :D
