Sex Toys At Work: A Tale of Real Life

rsadelleI work for a nonprofit, and my office is located in the family resource center, where we offer all kinds of useful services to clients. One of these useful services is our free table. People can bring in stuff they don't want/need anymore, and clients (and staff, of course) can take things off the table that they do want/need.
Every once in a while, someone comes in and drops off a whole bunch of clothes. This is what happened a couple of weeks ago. Normally our receptionist would sort through it. On this particular day, however, our receptionist was out sick and it was a quiet afternoon. So coworkers S and M (I swear I'm not making those initials up) were doing the sorting. It was late in the day, the boss was gone, and I was unmotivated, so I hung out and watched for a while. This is surprisingly fun. There was the skirt that looked like upholstery. There were the very nice shirts that still had tags on them. There was the red belt with hearts on it. After a while, I went back to my office to try to be a bit productive.
A few short minutes later, S yelled for me to come see what they'd found. I thought maybe a dead rat or a spider or some other type wildlife.
But no.
There, in the bottom of one of the boxes, on top of a black dress, was a large purple vibrator, a bottle of lube, and a blindfold. We then summoned coworkers C and J, and attempted to keep M's preteen son away from the box. The whole adventure caused great hilarity.
But it doesn't stop there! Our receptionist came back in two days later, when yet more clothes had come in. She was sorting through them and came across a very large spider. I, of course, laughed and told her what they'd come across two days before. Then M called in and was completely shocked to find out that I was the one to explain the vibrator discovery.
The oddest part of this tale is that my coworkers thought that the fact that the vibrator was huge and purple is the key to entertainment; I think the blindfold is what really makes the story.
