A clash of cultures.

Ok there seems to be this little riff going on at work. See we bought all these games for the break room, like jinga, monopoly, checker/chess etc. I was crabby at work so I was eating in the break because there were too many people in the office. So I said to recetionist that we should play a game. She picked checkers becuase it would be the easiest and the quickest. Well it turns out there are some, well I'll call them made up, rules to checkers. So we are playing and S makes her way to my side of the board and gets a King. I'm all no big deal, though she won't move any of her checkers out of her side so I can get in, they still aren't going anywhere. Well then she tries to move like three spaces with her King to Jump me. I'm all what the hell are you doing. You can only move one space at a time. Well its starts this whole big thing where in we need to break out the rules. Half the people at work though really thought thats houw you play the game. There really seems to be a divide along the lines of where you grew up. Thats the best I can figure. Seems a little crazy to me though as what would be the point of the game once a king has been made if it can do whatever it wants. There was actually quite a big of discussion about it throughout the day. I'm happy to say that we did break out the rules, and i was right. I can always live with that.
