    God I can't escape the stupidity

    I was getting my hair cut and I overheard this little tidbit from the guy next to me.

    He works as a horse importer from Europe. He loves his job but just recently had a major issue. Due to the incompetancy of the feed delivery guys, his barn where he housed his horses burned to the ground. He was at a show with a client at the time. They were supposed to go to another show the next day. The client asked if they were still going, the guy said you gotta be kidding me, I just lost 9 horses, I gotta get home and take care of this. His client just gives him a disgusted look and says FINE I'll just have to take my business elsewhere.

      Jeez, kick the guy while he's down! No decency at all...

        I get the feeling that this is not the sort of person he'd want to sell a horse to.

          Yeah, cuz why would you want to do business with a person who actually cares about the animals he is handling?

            Oh those poor horses! How in the hell do you deliver feed and end up burning down a barn?
            Figers are vicious I tell ya. They crawl up your leg and steal your belly button lint.

            I'm a case study.

              Off the top of my head?

              1) They dumped their delivery on top of (or dangerously close to) a space-heater of some kind
              2) One of them tripped over electrical cords, causing a short that ignited the straw and wood in the barn.
              3) Whoever opened the feed silo had an open flame too close (though that'd be *BOOM*, not burn)
              4) Guy flicked a cigarette butt that caught the straw on fire
              5) One of them said something so effing stupid the gods blasted the barn with bolts of fire and lightning trying to kill him before he could breed.

                  That seems the most plausible.

                    Actually what he said was that some of the hay that was delivered was damp and not cured completly and that led to spontaneous combustion. They had witnesses to the fire, it started on the haybale at the top of the pile. He's in the process of suing the feed company.
