Two dudes walked into subway today, thugged out head to toe in Dolce and Gabana clothing, completely unable to speak a coherent english sentence between the two of them.
They converse between themselves in Arabic for a while, then finally step forward.
"What can I get for you guys?"
"CHICKEN"
"What kind of chicken?"
"..."
So I start doing the pointing game, where I point to each kind of chicken we have. To every single chicken I point to I am met with an inquisitive "Pork?"
"No sir, there is no pork in our chicken"
They finally decide on the buffalo chicken.
"What kind of bread?"
"..."
"..."
"Best you got"
"Pork?"
"No sir, there is no pork in our bread"
So I just start making them a basic sandwich. By reflex I start doing all the questions that we're supposed to do.
"What kind of cheese would you like"
"Best you got"
"Pork?"
Toast the sandwiches, veggies go okay. My co-worker offers them the ranch dressing that goes with the sandwich.
"Pork?"
At this time, my co-worker just starts shaking in silent laughter, and struggles out a "No sir, there's no pork in our ranch dressing"
Then they tried to pay for their sandwiches with their United Arab Emirates cards, and after I got the cash off of them, they spilled orange juice everywhere and didn't bother to clean it up or let us know, which led to me getting chewed by a customer for keeping such a dirty store.
That was my day at subway.
This isn't that weird, they were probably trying to figure if the place fit in with a Halal diet. They knew the place wasn't really going to be Halal but they could avoid eating certain things.
It's reasonable (juice spilling aside) but I just picture the Swedish Chef as an Arab now
Augh, now I want to answer every question with "Pork?"

So i'm down here at my parents, and my dad is paying for a 300kbps cable internet plan that he got back in 2001.
So I call the cable company and ask if they can bump the speed up without any kind of contract or price change, and they do it. Bump him up to 20mbps. What is my dads reaction to getting more bang for his buck?
FREAK THE FUCK OUT!

I had my chance today. I had it, it was right there, in front of my face.
I grabbed some scones from Starbucks on the way to work. A guy had just gotten a cup of coffee, he complained it was bitter. He was angry, and acting like an asshole. The barista asked him what was wrong, and what she could do. "Do you want another cup, sir?" "Of the same coffee? Do you even speak english?"
I get guys like this all the time, and I can NEVER say anything because I can't. But I was a customer, I could say whatever I wanted and never see this shitstain again, but my coworker was with me. Sweet little pentecostal Tabitha tried to talk to him and calm him down. I just tugged her arm and left.
On a lesser note, I 'found' the note on my boss' desk whilst she was away, detailing all the mistakes I made in inventory. Mistakes that were really various plants that were never linked to begin with, some before the 2 1/2 years I've been there, so when I wrote down there SKU's they 'magically' weren't in the system! Fancy that. I'll be forwarding that 'mistake' letter, when I get it, to the Receiving dept, where they love me, so they can say "Yeah, next time don't let something like this slip by 3 inventories that you are in charge of" to her face.

Technically Jigrah, what he asked me to do both times was illegal according to my union rights though I didn't know it at the time. And yes, I was being a "nancy pants" about my boss forcing me to pick up a piece of gum lying in a urinal with my bare hands. Oh, I also forgot to mention that our store is right by a half-way house and is the place to go for drug addicts and hobos to pee. And my boss being pretty solid? What? That was incredibly stupid of him, the plumber showed up like twenty minutes later with the proper equipment but my boss was too much of a dumbass to wait for him to show up.
There are a lot of people in authority positions that will tell people to do something they are unwilling to do. It is an unfortunately common practice. From that I think your boss deserves some respect.
Also what the fuck difference does it make if it is hobo pee or drug addict pee? Beyond that I mean seriously did you even ask for a pair of gloves? Probably not.. Your manager told you to pick it up and you just went along with it instead of problem solving and grabbing some paper towels or something. Hell picking it up probably didn't even bother you, your bitterness to the issue seems to come from being told you didn't do enough job and him being anal about it. You are just using everything else as an excuse to justify those feelings.

also: i don't care what the job is I'm not picking GUM out of a URINAL with my HANDS
that's the point in your life where you grab a fucking towel
When I did marine construction in 100+ heat, the foreman usually got a cooler full of water or lemonade or some shit.
Or we bitched like no ones business.
One day I threw the (empty) cooler in the river on accident, which wasn't cool, because that was a gross fucking river. I had to take the work float off the side of the dock and go catch the cooler before it floated away.

This has been reported for awesome.
A simple clean delivery. Well done.

It's quite simple. Jigrah is dumb.
It was rather something.
I sincerely hope this was intentional.
Erroneous, erroneous on all accounts!
There is only one account.
And it is bankable.
Was it rather... pork?

I've got some free time if you want to make a deposit.
I've already made a deposit.
Try to guess where!

Quit playing, we both know you can't get hard from the ladies. I mean it takes you at least three dicks in the mouth till you are half mast.
Don't be absurd, I cannot fit three entire pensises into my mouth.
Okay, I probably could.

no, not Jigrah
that's the point in your life where you grab a fucking towel
it is a fun thing to say!
If I could have, I would have told them all to eat my dick before walking away.
did you even ask
why didn't you bring water with you ONTO said blacktop?

And we weren't allowed to bring our own water bottles because we might liter up their precious back lots.
We had to repaint about a billion shelves so we were lucky if we actually saw or (legally required) 15 minute break.
I was 14 at the time and it was my first job, I didn't know my rights.
