TOO True Hand Stories

Sometime back, I was a lead Houseman for a major hotel in Southern California. As lead, I was responsible for supervising 5 other guys as well as answering calls and maintaining public areas.
On one occassion, a class was having their Prom in one of the big ballrooms. Gorgeous SoCal girls in fancy dresses and spiked heels. I wasn't responsible for the Ballroom, but was for the common halls outside. As I was walking through, I noticed a flower on the floor. I stopped and turned around.
Two girls were walking toward it-a blonde in a fancy green pastal dress and a light brown haired girl in a yellow pastal dress, barefoot.I was somewhat disappointed as the girl in spike heels wasn't on course to step on it-but the brown haired girl was. I waited to the last possible second-they were looking-and bent down to pick it up(as if.) What I did instead was to flatten my hand over it. Sure enough, the barefoot girl stepped on my hand. I heard her say,"I stepped on that guy's hand!" They laughed and kept on walking and I remember the briefest time this lovely girl with the softest feet walked on me without a concern about it in the world!
NEXT TIME . . . the step that eventually got me fired!
