Yeah...
I stopped at a store before work wearing most of my uniform. After parking, I noticed the car next to me (a 90's model jeep grand cherokee) leaking what appeared to be antifreeze. It wasn't just leaking, it was...gushing from underneath the vehicle. When I went in the store I told the nearest clerk and asked them to page. By the time I was finished nobody had showed. As I went back to my car I had to pass in-front of the jeep. It was then I felt a...hot wetness along the front and left-side of my body! I jumped back and realized the the antifreeze was now SPRAYING from the front grill of the car; it was arching a good 3-feet! I ran back in the store and told them to page again because the car was spraying! At that point santa's fat redneck brother ambled to the front of the store and growled "Yeah, that's mine; it does that all the time! What you want me to do about it!?" I told him did he realize just HOW MUCH his car was leaking, and that it had just doused me? He yelled "What am I supposed to do!? Not go shopping!?" I told him no, but he should take responsibility for the problems his car was causing me and any vehicles he might damage. He yelled "The stuff'll dry-up in 15minutes!" And went back into the store. I could only shake my head, growl "Asshole!" And get in to work because by that point I was going to be late. By the time I'd pulled-out, there was a puddle and river flowing from under his car.
Oh, and I left a note under his wiper thanking him for ruining my work uniform. By the time I got to my shift there was MOST CERTAINLY a stain on my pants.
I wish I'd had time to go through my entire tirade with the guy; namely, what if it had been a small child who got a face-full of hot antifreeze; would he have considered it a problem then!?
