What is wet?

This morning we had a meeting. There’s two divisions where I work at Mattress Store, so we had the two guys from Alternate Store in for our meeting. My manager, Cory, was running the meeting. He had us all try doing an adjustable bed demo for each other, trying two alternate methods. When one of the AS guys got on the bed, I ran through the demo. When he got up there was a huge wet spot under where his left leg had been.

We all stared in horror at the wet spot. Mortified he mumbled something about a medical thing. When they left I burst out, “Why is our bed wet?!” Cory and Andrea didn’t know. Some vague medical thing that makes your leg weep, which I’ll be honest, I’ve never heard of. But the man is in pretty bad shape as far as taking care of himself. Andrea told me when she worked with him at AS she noticed the chairs were funky and had to clean caked on shit from the seats. When she told me I was grateful that clear mystery liquid was all he got on our bed.
