Easy, gentlemen. You may uncross your legs. I’m not suggesting that anyone start indulging in that activity. It just occurred to me that there must be some good stories out there.
I have only once kicked a man in the balls, and it was completely unplanned. I was working as a support technician, and one of my coworkers, was one of those guys who could charm the panties off any living woman, and of course, he was a complete shit. I just didn’t realize it at the time, seeing as how I was hopelessly in love with him. I do believe the other men working there would have happily roasted marshmallows over his flaming corpse if given the opportunity.
Anyways, one day, we were supposed to go out to lunch. I was stuck on a long call with a clingy computer user and was gently trying to disengage myself. My coworker, the charmer, got impatient waiting for me. I had gotten out of my chair, put on my coat, and was doing my best to wrap up the conversation, but that wasn’t enough. He started tapping the top of my head with his pen. So, without turning around, I kicked back at his knee and connected.
At least, I thought it was his knee. He stopped bugging me. Finally, when I got off the phone and pulled my headset off, I turned around to find him sitting down, gripping the inside of his thigh, crossing his eyes, and trying not to whimper in a high pitched voice. Didn’t take me real long to figure out what happened.
I don’t know why, but I started cracking up. You know, normally, I don’t find people in abject pain amusing, and I know he was hurting. I really hadn’t kicked that hard (and I still don’t know how I could have possibly connected a foot higher than I was aiming for, but he did brag that he went commando, and maybe he was just really warm that day). But still, I giggled. I covered my mouth and tried to stifle it, but it came out. A snort. A chortle. A muffled guffaw.
I felt terrible. Then. Later, when the true depths of his personality became apparent, I didn’t feel bad at all.
What’s your story?
