If you want to ruin someones day..try this.

OK. The story. I work freelance and have to visit a lot of workplaces in my week.

Yesterday I called into an organisation and knocked on a managers door and peeked my head round. There was nobody there so I closed the door again and stood outside. While I was trying to decide what to do eg wait or go an employee came along and knocked at the door too. I said to her " There is no one there." I thought she glanced at me but she kept walking in and closed the door after her. About 8 seconds later she came out again and puzzled I asked her "Is there someone in there?" She twirled round and glared at me
" Do you remember me?"

I sort of blustered and stumbled because I could see this was no happy woman. While I was trying to answer her she snorted " Huh!" glared at me again and marched off before I could even work out what the hell was happening. I was left reeling. WTF??? As far as Im concerned I have never seen her in my life before.

Cue hours of mentally recalling any argument I have ever had. There has been one about 4 years ago when I started work in this particular field. They had introduced a new billing system and I got into an argument about paperwork. Thats it. I hate arguments. I cant cope with them and would climb out a window to avoid them which is why there arent many to remember.

Im not in a position of authority. I have nothing and I mean zilch got to do with workplace rules and policies.

4 hours later and on the verge of a vein bursting in my brain my friend said "Could it be an outside of work issue? Did you meet her on a night out?"

Now saying that to an Irish person is just plain mean because when the demon drink enters the picture then anything is possible. However she is not even in my age group. My social group is pretty much established now and even then if you have annoyed someone that much then you would imagine you would remember. I remember no fights. None.

Finally last night to put me out of my misery my partner said "Maybe she has the wrong person" Hmmm. She didnt have a look in her eye of someone who had the wrong person.

So I have had to call it a day. It will have to remain a mystery. Forget the 4 mysteries you were taught in the Rosary. There are now 5. I am writing to the pope to have mine officially listed as the 5th. I want beads added to include it.

Given my line of work I could meet her in 4 days or 4 years or never.

I will say one thing. If I am the guilty party here then she sure as hell got her revenge on me.

If she has her wires crossed then Im going to sue the b***h for loss of grey matter.

If its you..yes you who did that on me then would you mind telling me why cos trust me if I see you again you aint going anywhere. If it involves a locked cupboard and a hurley stick you will tell me.
