Huh?

Today I was leaving the bathroom and saw a coworker walking with a bottle of Diet Coke. I didn't think anything of it, as I see him all the time. All of a sudden he backtracks toward me and says, "Hey...hold this for me." Then he walked away. I was completely confused. I grabbed the pop and walked behind him...bewildered. I mumbled "Thanks" at one point and he ignored me. So I walked toward my office and then greeted another coworker who was passing me.

I came in and sat down and put the pop on my desk. I wasn't sure what was going on. In complete consternation, I sat at my computer trying to figure out what happened. Did he accidentally buy a Diet Coke and didn't want it? Was he being nice? Was he on crack? I couldn't figure it out.

Then about 2 minutes later, me still confused, he wandered into my office and said, "Did that confuse you?" My response..."Uh, yeah!"

Turns out...it's a Secret Santa gift. Not for me. He had grabbed this Diet Coke for her and was on his way to deliver it when he saw her coming. So he did the only sane thing he could do...give it to me. Apparently he'd never be seen drinking one and people would know it.

Mystery solved. Strangest five minutes of my day. I'm glad I didn't open it.
