Carrie and I where reading the waiters blog when we got talking about coworkers and the drama of them. Here are a few that made our list:

1)At one of my last jobs I had a waiter who pretended to be British and faked his accent and background. It was funny whenever he got upset (which was often) the accent would suddenly disappear and his voice would go up three octaves. He was actually from Wisconsin!
2)Another coworker changed his name and refused to acknowledge anyone who called him by his given name, this included his mother when she visited him at work. He also is a drama queen from Wisconsin! What makes people from Wisconsin so ashamed of their state that they want to reinvent themselves???
3)Then there was the hypochondriac who one day when I walked behind the front desk of the hotel, she had three pill bottles out, was on the phone with her doctors office and had a light box with a reflector shinning on her to treat her SAD. When ever the news reported on some new and bizarre illness she would come down with it!
4)There was many years ago the day care worker who I heard from everyday when I dropped of my niece. She lived with her boyfriend, his two ex girlfriends, their kids, his best friend, brother, mom, grandmother and the grandmothers drunken boyfriend in a two bedroom condo. Everyday she would complain about her living condition to everyone. Thank God I only had to listen to it five minutes a day. I always felt sorry for her coworkers one of which was the boyfriend!

We could go on, the hotel and restaurant business is full of strange drama queens... not to mention the guests.
