  • On the way to work today...

    I'm working at a remote site today and I happened to have the chance to observe some shennanigans on the way.

    Car-ma

    I have no idea what this particular douchenozzle was thinking, but I should thank him. It's rare that anyone does something so stupid it makes a local cop flip on the lights while making a tire screeching U-turn.

    What did the idiot do, you ask? Why he pulled out into traffic completely cutting off an oncoming vehicle.

    Said vehicle was forced to come to a halt - also tire screeching - and slewed to one side a bit as it is rather ungainly in construction.

    Said vehicle was also an ambulance. With the lights flashing and the siren blaring. So why douchenozzle thought it would be okay to pull out, I have no idea. And he had a clear line of sight, too. So about the only way to miss the ambulance would be to be both blind and deaf. Normally, that means you've failed two Fort saves in a row, so you're as good as dead anyhow.

    On the other hand, it warms the rotting black pit of my soul to think of the tickets douchenozzle will be receiving. I don't think cutting off an ambulance responding to an emergency is something you walk away from with just a warning.

    But the OLD manager did it!

    I got to see an SC try this one at Dunkin Donuts when I stopped to pick up a bite to eat.

    There was an old man at the counter when I walked in. I was able to overhear his conversation with the manager.

    OM = Old man
    M= Manager (female, this matters)

    OM: So, I get a free box of munchkins with my coffee here.

    M: I'm sorry sir, but I can't do that for you.

    OM: No, it's okay, the manager here does that for me all the time.

    M: Sir, we've never done that here. Not once in the six years that I've worked at this location.

    OM: Well, just call up the manager. He'll tell you that its okay.

    M: Sir, I am the manager here. We don't do that here.

    OM: Oh, you're the new manager? Well call Jim, the old manager, and he'll tell you its okay.

    M: Sir, I've worked here for six years, since the day this location opened. I've been the manager the whole time. Now I'm going to ask you to leave and never come back because we don't appreciate scams here.

    *And yes, she really did smile and wave!*

    OM stormed out threatening to never come back. Somehow, I don't think that was really an option in the first place.

    I can't wait to see how the rest of the day rolls out.

    I wonder if he thought he was in a different DDs or really was trying to run a scam.

    I love people complaining "I can't find the ---- store!" and I have to tell them that store hasn't been here in 5-years, and they try to argue "but I was there last week!"

      Possibly. Hard to make that mistake since you'd also have to be in the wrong town and a couple miles off the main road. The next DD on this road is at the other end of the county.

      And even then I'd think it was a scam. I've a hard time believing this guy gets a free box of munchkins with his coffee.

        I could see maybe throwing in a small box of donut holes munchkins with a few pounds of ground coffee beans...but I got the impression that he was buying just a cup...

          Even if it were true, why would you do what an EX-manager said was okay?

            Alternate answer when he said that Jim, the old manager, would do it:

            You mean Jim who was fired for giving away boxes of Munchkins with a cup of coffee?
            Any fool can piss on the floor. It takes a talented SC to shit on the ceiling.
