Shop Talk

Not much of a story really, just a guy who was almost fifty who was so stupid I really did wonder how he didn't get killed as a child in a freak walking accident... like walked straight into a tree repeatedly until her suffered an internal hemorrhage and died. Could not grasp the concept of equipment protection, could not understand the idea of a set number of minutes every month, could NOT grasp the concept of pre-paid (because he had a deposit... surprise!) And he couldn't even read his own Drivers license number. It took us ten minutes to get it. (And that also begs the question, how did he not accidentally mistake the gas pedal for the brake and ram his car into a brick wall, thus killing himself?)

Just dumb.

And his enunciation...

I would say you just spoke to my uncle Gilbert, but he was run over while walking across the highway two years ago.

True story.

Dear Lord.

He lived up to his stupidity at least.

There is that. I have crazy relatives but none as dumb as the guy I had to talk to on that call.

Crazy is one thing, stupid is another. He was also always drunk, which I'm sure contributed.

When we heard the news it was definitely an "it's about time," rather than an "oh my god." sort of moment.

**hugs** it will be ok.


Ive seen people hit by moving cars.

AND I've seen a guy driving next to me drinking a beer, smoking a cig, and (i swear) had rigged in his pickup a george forman grill, trying to cook 🤨

it look like one, im sure it was gas powered or somthing but still....

Wow. 😳

Wow, if that guy had to suddenly swerve, that grill would probably flip over into his lap. 😲


At least that would end any chance of procreation.
