[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 709430, member: 11832"] I'm sorry for the misunderstandings, Lil. I've noticed a lot of people have naturally loud voices. I'll bet the clerk was feeling guilty over something and that's why your words were twisted. Another character in our lab was a woman whom I will call Fatima. I tried really hard to get along with her but she had a truly bad attitude. She'd been living in the U.S. for 20 years but was still having a great deal of trouble with the language which made for some hilarious situations. I don't know why, but she thought I was having an affair with a man who worked for our department but in a different building. Apparently, Fatima had run into his wife on the street to tell her that we were having an affair. Thank goodness, she understood that Fatima was making mischief. I confronted her about her lying gossip and she claimed that I was "telling untruths!" I was married to an unstable and very jealous man at the time. I told her that her lies could easily get me killed. She didn't much seem to care. One day, she returned from lunch in a frenzied state. She yelled, "I hit caterpillar! I hit caterpillar!" We were all stumped as to what on earth she was upset about. Did she step on an fuzzy insect? After much careful questioning, we determined that she had driven the wrong way down a one street and a backhoe (the caterpillar) had swung its bucket around straight into her car door. I very much want to hear the Jabber stories. [/QUOTE]
