The UP Technohub KFC Fiasco

Since I just got back from my work off, I needed a day to get my work mode on. So I volunteered for a task that I know that would take up so much of my time. Sometimes you get caught up with work that you forget how much time you have already spent in the office. I already spent four hours sitting and not even pausing for a coffee break. My stomach was growling. So I ask my colleagues if they wanted. Good thing they were hungry as well. Food doesn't taste good if you're eating it alone.

So started the normal 3 minute debate on where to eat. We didn't want to eat what I call "Recycle Food". The fried chicken today would be part of a different dish tomorrow. We haven't eaten in KFC in a while. We don't normally eat there because it's so far away and we would be hungry by the time reached the office. But we still decided to eat there.

So we ordered, got our food, and sat down at a table next to the entrance of the KFC. I was about to take my first bite and then Bam! The glass door was so squeaky clean that a guy didn't notice it. He really tried to stop. His hand print was testament to that and not to mention what seems to be a print of his cheeks. The squeaky clean glass door is now filled with smudges.

So I turned away as fast that I can and at one synchronize motion everybody bowed their heads. I think I was the last one to raise my head since I could really stop myself from laughing. A full minute or more has passed and I decided to raise head. What happened next was a surprise.

Normally a person would simple laugh and walk away. But this dude is something else. He was standing in front of us. It seems like he was waiting for someone but he was definitely staring at the glass door. I wondered if he was asking himself why he didn't see the glass door.

The next 10 minutes of eating was brutal. He was just standing there. It seems like he is waiting for someone to laugh. I was asking myself why I am the one embarrassed. I am not the one who hit the door. But after an agonizing attempt of not laughing or even smiling, he finally left.

We almost forgot it since we were trying so hard not to laugh then. We were quietly walking back to the office, when the silence was broken when my colleague started to laugh. It was contagious. We were laughing all the way until we got to the office. I haven't laugh that hard for years!
