WTF happened to courtesy and common sense?

Did you tell him when he changed it that if it breaks he has to fix it? I assume it was working fine before.

The story about the fart fan brings back memories of why I don't work in retail anymore. When I was a young guy, I worked for Hugh M. Woods, the now defunct lumber company. Most people were nice, ordinary folks, but occasionally we'd get some real loons in there. The guy who bought a 5 gal. can of roofing tar to seal his driveway and then decided it was the store's responsibility to replace his carpet. This angry, screaming gentleman clearly had a malfunctioning logic center in his cerebral unit.

1. He was the dumb-ass who used roofing tar to seal a blacktop driveway.

2. He was the dumbass who after applying it to the driveway, proceded to walk all over the carpet.

3. He was the genius who thought all of this was the store's fault because when he came in and asked for a five gallon can of tar was sold exactly that. He never said what it was going to be used for.

If I ever pulled a no-brainer like that, I'd look around hoping nobody saw my stupidity!

Hmm... I don't know. There is, but there's not a lot he can do. They don't pay for things like this. And I don't want to look like we're making trouble. I'd be fine if he got the LL to come out[LOL]

Neither one technically "broke". He replaced the old one because he... I don't know, he didn't like it. Put in a new one but didn't seal the gaps between the ceiling. We didn't notice the space and I guess he didn't see it as a problem when he installed it. I was not aware that we were enemies back when he did the b-room renovation so I didn't tell him that he would be responsible for fixing.

So he's a butt nugget that doesn't complete the job. He shouldn't be there too much longer, he'll go out of business.

21 years of Electrical work I have learned; If it ain't broke,, Why fix it...

I looked at her and said, "I don't do skinny dipping. I do chunky dunk!" And ever since then, when ever we go swimming or whatever, she brings that up and we still laugh about it.

I used to go swimming all the time, I can't go any more because when I go to get out a crowd gathers, and keeps throwing me back in damn greenpeace and their savethe whale movement

Thats why I always put their stuff away, close the trunk.... THEN go grab MY tire iron to tighten the lug nuts! hahahaha Maybe ladies think that changing a tire for them is an "unwanted advance".... then change your own damn tire!

Haha my father was a group store director for them till the mid 90's, about a year before they went under. He had some GREAT stories about those stores.

There was the lumber yard guard shack guy that checks your products when you leave running a drive up pot/coke "dealership"

Then there was the time my pops went in for an alarm response with local PD (greenwood IN). 3 officers rack rounds into their shotguns as they walk in the door and announce themselves. Well ill be damned if that doesnt echo inside a store that size. Guy fell out of the drop ceiling and pissed himself!

if the person just walked by had someone with them, I close it on them. the best are the double doors and I hurry to go to the door open it for myself and close it quickly on the retard who didn't thank me.
