I wrote a column back in July about how I got fired a week after my second kid was born. She was still in the NICU. I’m actually taking today’s events a little harder than I did losing my own job in a way.
I was working at an auto parts store. One day my boss pulls me aside and asks “what’s up chief?” I’m already pissed. “What do you mean by that?” “You tell me.” What follows is a 45 minute argument about my bad attitude (he had a point) and me telling him that he was bad at his job (he was, more on that in a moment). Anyway, I tell him I’m done. I’ll work what he has scheduled to not screw over my coworkers (4 days) and then I’m out. My last day of work I get a call from an irate customer. Turns out my boss sold him the wrong parts and he is furious. After some ass chewing, I just bluntly ask “what do you want me to do to fix this”. He tells me he wants the store to pay for his gas because he lives an hour away. I glance at the clock, see that I only have a half hour left and then laugh at him and tell him I can’t do that. If you’ve ever laughed at anyone that is already super pissed you know what happens next. He starts screaming at me “So is it still funny?!” I reply, ” well it wasn’t at first but now that you’re making a huge deal about it, it is. The parts will be waiting for you on the counter.” I check out and leave. Apparently the guy filed a complaint against me and my boss which was one too many strikes against him. He was moved to a smaller, shittier store and was fired/quit a month or so later. Guess he should have listened to me.

So do I need to send my resume or….?
I hope this doesn’t become a trend.
Don’t lump us in with you Will.
The TSM staff judges the shit out of you.
This stupid Harambe thing gets a honorable mention for at least this week anyway.
Glorious.
Try grilling without the husks to get a little char on the corn. Works good and you don’t have to burn your fingers on hot husks.
Would.
Who has the more punchable face, this guy or affluenza teen? I honestly can’t decide.
I vote crossbow.
Bravo. Still laughing.
