Speaker 2 (00:24):
Here. It is the Strawberry Letter.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Subject I don't mind working over time. Dear Stephen Shirley.
I am a twenty nine year old single woman with
a great job.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
But I have an issue with a co worker.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I went to a local bar a couple of weeks
ago and had a few drinks. I noticed a man
and a woman in the corner cuddling, and I didn't
think anything of it at all at first. Later on,
I went to the bathroom and passed a couple and
realized it was two of my coworkers in the corner.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Bowed up.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Both of them are married, and when they saw me,
they instantly took their arm off each other and separated.
They spoke, and when I left out of the bathroom,
they were gone. I was a little surprised that they
didn't at least ask how my night was going, or
asked me to join them for a drink. That let
me know that they were clearly up to something. I
(01:17):
suppose it could have been platonic, since they weren't kissing,
but why were they out alone late at night in
the corner of this bar. So now I obviously need
your advice. No, I don't plan to tell anybody what
I saw. I'd much rather keep their secret to myself
because I want a chance to be with the guy too.
(01:38):
I've had a crush on him for years, and now
that I know he's a cheater, I want to see
what he's working with. I think I should have a turn.
I have spent many nights fantasizing about all the nasty
things i'd do to him if I ever got a chance.
I've lost count of all the sexual dreams I've had
about him over the years, and I think, thank you,
(01:59):
I knew it over the years, and I think it's
time to get my man. He is already having an affair,
so how should I let him know that he can
have me too? I don't mind putting in a little
overtime with this man.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
So there you go. One question for you, Are you crazy?
Are you crazy?
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I think you are. Didn't you say this man was married?
Didn't you say you've been working here for years? I
mean that means he's got a wife. He's cheating on
his wife. You don't get that or care about that.
Why would you put yourself through that? Why would you
do this? Plus you guys all work together. That could
be so messy. He's already working with another coworker. Usually
(02:45):
that sort of thing is prohibited on the job. The
funny thing is that you said they didn't ask you
to join them for a drink, and that let you
know that when you saw them, they were clearly up
to something.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Yes they were. They were.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
They separated when they saw you, and then they left
after that. I got to ask you where's your self esteem?
Because you said, since he's already having an affair, you
want to let him know that he can have you too.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Really, where's your self worth?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
You should know that you know you could do better.
You could do a lot better than this somebody else's husband.
I don't even mind you having fun. You say, why
shouldn't you have a little fun too? You can have fun,
but get your own man to have fun with That's
the moral of the story. Get your own man to
have fun with this with here at this job. This
(03:35):
is craziness right here. This man is married, this woman
is married, and now here you are are trying to
get something started. No, you're not going to say anything
because you want them for yourself. But how do you
think that's really gonna work out? Really, Steve.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Well, let me just start by saying, this letter took
one hell of a twist.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yes it did.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
It's spurn on me so damn quick I had to
quit writing my reply.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
I was all setting ready.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
First of all, twenty nine great job, got an issue
with a coworker, went to this bar, saw people in
the couple, couple in the corner all cuddle up.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Later on, you go to.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
The bathroom and then you realize that the couple with
some coworkers, they all booed up, and both of them
made when they saw me, they instantly took their arms
off each other and separated. You know, they spoke, and
when I came out the bathroom, they were gone.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
I was a little surprised.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
They didn't asked how my night was going on, asked
me to join for a drink. Now right now, I'm thinking,
how stupid is shit? And then you know, she went
on that let me know that they was clearly up
to something.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
You think.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
So I'm reading this letter and I'm going this letter
is actually written by a stupid person. I said that
this letter gonna be easy to anser.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I got this right here.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
You know, some stuff like this, ain't your damn business.
You know, don't nobody want to have you in the
corner drinking with them and telling they business.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
But then.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
It started turning. And the next thing I noticed then
it got a little more stupid for a turn. You know,
I guess they could be platanic since they wasn't kissing.
But then here when it's stupidity came in. But why
were they out alone late at night in the.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Corner of this bar.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Then she said, so, I obviously need your bikes. That
right there, that's where I was finna go mind your
damn busus, go on bout your business, shut your damn mouth,
all that stuff right there. Then she's talking about I
don't plan to tell anybody what I saw. So I said, okay,
I ain't got to tell of the mind the damn
bus to shut your damn mouth. Then she said I'd
(06:01):
rather keep their secret to myself, and then the letter
just clicked. Because I want a chance with the guy too.
I've had a crush on him for years, and now
that I know he'll cheetah, I want to see what
he's working with.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
What the show the hell happened here? Well? Are you
going with this letter?
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Me and Shanny don't feel like getting our minds and
things twisted up and wrapped up in some ignorant ass
letter like this, and I will attempt to do so
right after the break.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
All right, part too.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Steve's response coming up in twenty three after the hour.
Subjects of today's strawberry letter, I don't mind working over time.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
We'll get back into it right after this.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
You're listening morning show? All right, Steve, Let's recap today's
strawberry letter. Subject I don't mind working over time?
Speaker 3 (07:01):
You know, well, the subject of the letter is I
don't mind working over time. After reading this letter, I
think the let tyler this letter should be I'm a
nutty helfer.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
What you think? One more time? I'm a nutty helfer?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
What you think? Woman twenty nine years old got a
good job. Go to the bar one night to have
a drink. She noticed this couple in the corner, all
bowed up, cuddle up. She don't pay no attention of it.
She walked to the bathroom. She looks in the corner.
She realized that the couples booed up is a couple
of coworkers from her job, and they in the corner
in the dark. Why are they in the corner, BEQUI
(07:45):
because both of them is married. And then when you
spoke to them, but when you came out the bathroom,
they was gone. She was a little surprised that they
didn't speak to her and ask her did she want
a drink?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
They just left.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
So I was gonna tell her it ain't your business.
Then she said, I don't keep the secret to myself
and everything. I'm not gonna tell nobody. But you know,
since he married, I found out he a Cheaterah, I want.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
A chance at him too.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Wow, I love it, which goes back to the title
of my letter. I'm a nutty helfo. What do you think? Well, Nutty,
let's go and get into it. She said, So obviously
I need your advice. I don't plan to tell anybody
(08:33):
what I saw. I much rather keep a secret to
myself because I want a chance with the guy too.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
I've had a crush on him.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
For years, and now that I know he's a cheater,
I want to see what he's working with.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
I think I should have a turn.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
What I spent many nights fantasizing about all the nasty
things I do to him if I ever got a chance.
I've lost count of all the sexual dreams I've had
about him over the years that I think is time
to get my man. He already having an affair, So
how should I let him know that he can have
me too? I don't mind putting it in a little
(09:09):
over time with this man. Well, let's just gonna get
down to this letter. Since you've known this man for
years and he has not said anything to you, and
he is a cheating come on, let's wonder why has
he not said nothing to you?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Well, let's think about this.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
If you a man that's a known serial cheater and
you are in the cheap business, do you not look
for opportunities to cheat? Now, why after these years of
on the job, has he overlooked you? Well, now we
(10:01):
must face the truth.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Break it down.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Maybe when he looked over there, has it crossed your
mind that he don't.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Want to cheat with you? Maybe? Oh, here we go.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
You ain't cheetah material, lord jeep, you you already single?
Ain't nobody asked you to marry? But now ain't nobody
asked you to cheat with him?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
On the side? What do you look like? You gotta
break it down? Step? What do you wear to work?
You have to break it downs? What when you hold
your mouth? What come out? Because it's nutting?
Speaker 3 (10:56):
This in this letter and you type this, it was
spelling correct on it and everything.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I can't imagine what you then said on your job.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Why would not a confessed cheato, serial cheato asked you
to cheat with him?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Not ask you the cheat on? What is wrong with you? Now?
In this letter? She said? How can I make it
known to him that he can have me too? Well?
You might mess.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Around and find out that he don't want you. Many
years he ain't said a damn thing to you. You
don't flirt with you? You that had a lot of
nasty fantasizical dreams about him, But has he dreamed about you?
Speaker 1 (11:51):
What kind of nasty dream?
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Nasty fantasizical. See that's not a sisical, surety.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Those are dreams with that you fantasized with a physicality
aspect attached to it.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Fantasizical dream.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
I wanted to be clear.
Speaker 2 (12:09):

On Purpose with Jay Shetty
I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
