ON weird questions...

the company i am currently working with just organized a roadshow about contraception...it was a post event for World Contraception Day which was held on 26 September..the roadshow lastest 4 days from 15-18 nov...wow...what a hectic 4 days!i worked for 12 hours from 10am-10pm and not only that, i had to come to work with Audrey at 8:45am just to set up the booths..then we had to wait till everyone left the curve for us to put things in their courtyard..*yawn* still so tired from that event..
anyway, even though the event was very tiring, i still learnt alot from it, and one of the things i learnt alot about is the various contraceptives that are available!

well, world contraception day is about "raising awareness about unplanned or unwanted pregnancies" (i had to say this so many times throughout the whole four days...again and again and again...*sigh*)
well...i'm not going to talk about contraception...but i'm going to talk about some of the weird and sometimes very "intelligent" responses people give me when i pass them booklets or when they're playing one of our interactive games...

when passing booklets:

scenario 1:-

ME: hi, we're celebrating world contraception day..

woman pushing child in baby trolley (aka stroller) *looks at book* (or more like stares at book): well, i'm pregnant now....so....(says very angrily or sarcastically....)

ME: (wanted to say *don't think you're very happy with that,so you SHOULD have a book...) *pauses* ok thank you..


scenario 2:-

ME: hi, we're celebrating world contraception day..

white man: well, i'm married and have a child on the way...so i'm fine...

ME: *pauses* ok thank you...
*why do people think that they don't need to know about these things if they're married or pregnant? think people...its for future reference...in CASE u DON'T want to get pregnant or don't want to have anymore children!!DUH....


scenario 3:-

Audrey: hi, we're celebrating world contraception day..


white guy: excellent! *walks off without taking the book*


when playing interactive games:-

Question: something released by a male during ejaculation

Clue: S _ _ _ M

Answer: SPERM

indian guy's answer: STEAM?



ME: *very long pause* umm...no, its not steam....


the most surprising thing is to find out that there are alot of people who don't know how to play tic tac toe...(i hope YOU do...)..u know...noughts and crosses...the X and the O....u know?
omg!!it was so hard explaining people about the concept of the game..omg...

anyway...malaysians should have better english and should seriously learn to talk english!

ENGLISH people, ENGLISH!!
