Outrageous Employees

Tcat

I have an "unusual" employee story.

We have an employee who told her manager that she needed to change her schedule due to a domestic issue. She claims that her ex-husband was somehow breaking into her house at night and plucking her eyelashes out while she slept. She wakes up in the morning and she has patches of eyelashes missing.

This brings up sooo many questions:

1. If someone is plucking your eyelashes while you are sleeping, wouldn't you WAKE UP? Must be a heavy sleeper.

2. How is changing her schedule going to prevent her husband from breaking into her house in the middle of the night? Does she think that by getting off work a few hours earlier will "throw him off"?

There are many more questions that come to mind, but I will leave it at that. It is payday Friday and I really shouldn't be posting on these boards right now. I guess my break is over - back to work.

And what was your reaction when she told you this . . . ?

Man, I have the same problem sometimes. Maybe my wife is plucking my eyelashes. I hate it when that happens.

I've stopped laughing enough to write a response...I have to ask, does she look like she's missing eyelashes? I mean, thats pretty hard to miss and such a bizarre thing to make up. I will have to try that one on my boss, just for kicks, and see what her reaction is. But I don't know that I could keep a straight face. Lets say for the sake of argument that this is absolutely true...she must be one heck of a deep sleeper and the Night Plucker is nuts!

I laughed when I read your post, but on a more serious note....
Many medicines make your eye lashes fall out, including some antiboitics. You might ask.

Tcat, your profile is disabled so we have very little info to go on. Pluuuueeeezzzzee, unless someone is comatose, the probability of this occurring is farfetched. My thoughts on this matter lean toward..... "Is this the best you can do?"
