A co-worker told me a very personal thing and I was wonderin
Question Posted Friday April 30 2004, 3:06 pm
I'm the one that works at the pizza place and was nervous that nobody liked me and was worrying about losing weight. This is to all the columnist who answered my previous questions: Yesterday a male co-worker came up to me and asked me to go into a back area with him because he wanted to ask me a question. Well, I had no idea what was up and then he showed me instructions for a pregancy test and asked me what does two lines mean verses one line, because he was not sure how to read it. I told him two lines means pregnant even if one is very light. I wonder why he was asking me? I assume he thought his girlfriend or spouse was pregnant or he could've been asking for a female freind who was too embarrased to ask me herself. I was curious, but I didn't ask any questions except, "Is there good news?" in a light-hearted joking way, and he said "It's not for me, I was just wondering." Or something like that. He told me not to tell anyone and I said "I won't." So I think this must mean that people there like me and trust me. I haven't told anyone, and I don't think this counts because it's anonymous and I could be anyone talking about anyone at a pizza place anywhere. I just wanted to let you all know that I feel much better working there knowing that they would trust me with something like that. I have a feeling the guy and a girl there are involved, but I don't know, and I'm not going to say anything, just mind my own business. Has anyone else been in a situation like this where they blabbed and got in trouble? Just curious. I'm not the gossipy type, and I hardly know these people, so it's not that difficult. If they were really close friends, or family, that could be harder, but in that case, it's even more important to keep a secret, unless it's something that is dangerous to the individual, and you have to tell for their own good. Any stories anyone would like to share?

But yes I have been in your situation and it kind of follows something I have always said "Sometimes its easier to go to a stranger rather than someone you know". And it doesn't mean a complete stranger it just mean someone you don't know to well. And yes people do probably like you and trust you, I could see no other reason why he would ask you because that is something one rarely asks another person, or maybe a kind of test.
