I Swear I'm Not Racist!
I find myself over-analyzing things lately. Too much, in fact. Everything from how often I should eat to salvage my fading metabolism, to what footwear I should slip on before heading out the door "just in case". I like to think of the past, present, and future with all my actions. Though as I grow older and find myself drunk most of the time, I rarely think of the future. /smashes bottle over headMost recently, I found myself in that state of mind. For work, I brown bag my lunches almost every day (crack is an expensive hobby). I hate bringing home a stank lunchbox, so I always clean it after I finish my lunch in the office kitchen. Now if you know me, I clean like a champ. Where bar room brawlers slide their sleeves up before a fight, I like to take my watch off so it doesn't get wet (I hate that feeling!). But this time, a Black co-worker happened to stand behind me, waiting to use the sink. In my mind, I was thinking "Oh my god, if I take my watch off now and put it in my pocket, will he think I'm a racist?"
I stare at the sink for a few seconds.
"Crap, crap, crap! What do I do?"
I eventually end up leaving my watch on and gingerly wash my container with my fingertips, avoiding water from being splashed onto my wrist. Racist action averted. Awesome!
Though my attention to detail can escape me at times, overanalyzing things can be my downfall.
Do you overthink things?

lol I would have done it anyway if I were you. Only assholes play the "Is it cuz I'm black?" card for dumb things like that.

Property takes precedence over moronic butthurt feelings.
that's a funny rape joke
yes I over think everything
that's quite a dark courage wolf
You should take off your watch, give it to him, and ask him to take care of it while you are washing....
Anit Racist~Awesome!~
crack is whack!
I still can't get my dumb facebook Like badge to work. I need a lesson!
You could keep thinking a lot and disregard certain things you think about... and not have a chance to get your watch wet too.
wow, an entry with WORDS? tl;dr... tits or gtfo.
kidding.
yeah i would have taken off the watch. or slid it up further or something. i don't wear watches.
Face the fact, you're Asian.
Wax on, wax off! Yea, you did not missed a spot, gg! You're hired.
I would have pretended to suddenly remember something and leave... and come back a little bit later after he had finished using the sink. That way, potential misinterpreted-as-racist-action averted and you can take your watch off like normal instead of washing your lunch box like a sissy.
Heh... yeah I tend to do that. What's worse though, is being used to a gang of multi-racial friends in which we all make racially inappropriate jokes about each other... and then transplanting that habit into another group of friends who are NOT used to politically-incorrect humor. It quickly turns into a foot-in-mouth extravaganza.
@shoujo -
actually, that seems more racism as in you don't wanna be in the same room as him and have to come back later on,.....you racist!! :p
by the way, who cares what he think! if he wanted to think you are racist, let him!
rape is not funny chrissssss...
words! lol
smart move. he would've def thought you were racist.
insensitive feral animals ftw!
in the process, making them irritated because of the longer than usual washing...
Aiyaaa sei lah! Leaving your watch on so that your black co-worker wouldn't think you are racist, us Chinese are just that courteous, you know? LOL

You could have asked him to hold your watch for you
LMFAO
@wenguang - LOL Well, I used to do that all the time at my old office! I just hated it when people waited behind me. Made me feel uncomfortable, no matter what race they were! XD
Is there a massive 'WTF' mini that I can give you for that rape zone picture?
I don't think he would of thought you were racist for putting your watch in your pocket, unless he's paranoid, and his paranoia overruled his common sense to see that you just didn't want your watch to get wet. Actually, putting it in your pocket probably would have made it easier for a pickpocket to steal than if you had it on your wrist. You just overthought it, but it's good that you are considerate of others' feelings.
Nah. you're asian. only white people hide their watches cuz of a black person.
haha jk
LOL. Next time, please remove the watch. I promise dude won't think you're racist. SMH.
