At work... I was taking my 4 hour drivers training refresher class this morning.. Ya got to be safe ya know!! And half way through the class.. We were talking about safety zones... And the instructor.. A cute blonde girl says to me... Sir, can you step up here to the front of the class... Sure.... About 50 of my coworkers in the class..
So I walk up and we meet by the podium... "What's your name". Zarren. (Close enough! Lol). "Ok Zarren.. Shake my hand...". So I walk up close to her... And put my left arm around her and onto her sholder... (Were both facing the class) And with my right hand shake her hand..... And she looked at me and said "hmmmmmm... Ok that didn't work". What didn't work??
And she points to another coworker and saiys "what's your name". Jim... Ok shake my hand and Jim jumps up and grabs her hand and shakes it... Then the instructor says "anyone notice the differnece here?". Ahhhh. I'm cuter than Jim? Just kidding. I didn't really say that.. Lol.
Noooo..... Then she goes on to explain that men typically shake someones hand and then take a step back... Keeping a zone of safety around them.. Where as women get close and hug and touch each other.... So then she looks at me and says.... "I don't know about you, Zarren" and the class bursts out laughing...
Obviously my Dad never taught me about this one step back rule!!! I can't even pass as a guy any more... So now everyone at work knows I'm not a guy??? Ohh well... I'm still cuter than Jim!! Hahahaha
