I haven’t entertained you all with a “Nancy” story in quite some time. Here’s a quick one!
Background:
I love to share stories about my coworker, Nancy. Nancy is a man and of course, “Nancy” is not his real name. It’s a nickname that my colleague and friend, Bill, and I have determined is most suitable. Nancy is a 45-year old married man with 2 children. He is college-educated and has worked for over 20 years in the finance industry. He is an idiot and a pansy. Click here for more Nancyisms. You won’t be disappointed.
The Story:
At lunch today, I was the first to arrive at the lunch table in the cafeteria. Nancy came next and joined me. We spoke of a luncheon to be held next week for a former coworker. Another coworker is taking a collection to purchase a gift for the former coworker and present it to her at the luncheon. Here’s how the conversation went:
Nancy: I gave Karen money for the gift.
Me: Hmmm.
Nancy: I gave $14. That seems like an odd amount, but that’s all I had. I went to my car and got the $14 and then gave it to Karen. I keep my change purse in the car and it only had $14 in it.
Me: Oh.
LOL LOL LOL LOL
What man calls his wallet a CHANGE PURSE?
Why does he keep his “change purse” in the car?
He knew he was going to give the donation, so why didn’t he bring it into the office with him when he arrived this morning, rather than making a trip back out to the car?
And finally…
WHAT MAN CALLS HIS WALLET A CHANGE PURSE?
Then Bill told me that Nancy told him the exact same story this morning, complete with the reference to “his change purse.”
LOL LOL LOL LOL
I think that is so cute. He probably got this word from the women in his life. My kids call handbags “pocketbooks” because I always did. Because my mom always did. And people tease them and say that’s an old lady word, but it’s what we say.
Maureen – Spoken like a true “Nancy” rookie! LOL Thanks for stopping by and I call them Pocketbooks too!
Nancy is a perfect name for this guy. I’ll have to tell y’all about Asshole from my office. Oh, I think I just did.
Details, Linda. I need details!
What if it really WAS one of those bizarre little rubber change purse thingies that old people always bring out at the grocery store checkout lane and it had $14 in coins in it? He’s definitely odd, I’ll grant you that.
OMG! You’re right! Now I need to investigate further. Wouldn’t surprise me one bit!
Definitely. Pansy.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that!
I think I would die laughing if the words “my change purse” came out of my husband’s mouth. I don’t even know if he knows the phrase “change purse.”
It took alot for me NOT to laugh. In fact, I’m not sure how I managed it!
I was thinking the same thing as Croneandbearit. Maybe he needs a man bag?
LOL – I can totally picture him with a man bag. You’ve GOT to meet him. He’s friends with your brother too!
I have to admit, your Nancy stories are up there with my favorites… PLEASE tell me he has a murse!
We have a luncheon coming up. I”m going to ask Nancy if he can give me a ride – THEN I’ll be able to check out the change purse/murse situation for sure!
I’m envisioning $14 in change, which seems to me would require something larger than a wallet, so . . . I’m guessing $14 in change resides at the bottom of some lovely purse that once belonged to his mom(or some woman he “offed”), that’s now setting on the passenger seat, where he throws his loose change.
There. That makes total sense now.
OMG OMG OMG!!! LOL – You’ve got him pegged!
Several have said it before and I’ll say it again……that man is NOT a man.
change purse?? ROFL!!!
Tis true. You just can’t make this kind of stuff up!
Do you think that Nancy never went to elementary school. I would think the teasing and beatings he would have received as a child would have taken care of this. Or do you think this is a late developing trait in his personality? Very strange. A change purse……..ROFL!
Hmmm…that’s an interesting thought. Perhaps because of the teasing and beatings, he missed alot of time in school and therefore is even more of a knucklehead today.
I do believe I would have picked on him as a kid… not that it would have been all that nice of me, but back then I was one of the kids that would and could pick on others like this…
