When one of my co-workers asked a few weeks ago, "So, did anybody try to get in while I was gone?" and "Did you see the bad guys anywhere in the neighborhood?" it sounded to me like he was joking. But he persisted. I was confused. He then informed me that there had been a robbery at a bank in the area. I didn't believe him. I thought it was a stupid joke. He insisted it was real. I was skeptical.
So a little later, I asked the supervisor. She confirmed that there had been a robbery at a nearby bank. She was a bit confused that I didn't believe what I'd been told, and that I wanted to check on the story. That's when I realized something kind of unsettling -- I no longer assume I'll be told the truth. I've heard too many lies.
That's sad.
By the way, for those in the metro area, the serial robber was caught.
