I was a lead on a loading dock. I’d been there for about 5 years and my authority was limited to temps and on the barges. I was put in charge of two temps. One was a really good employee and the other just either complained about everything and/or had to have constant supervision. On top of being just a total pain, he would smart off about everything. My boss told me I get my first official decision, I get to decide who goes and who stays. I told him he already knew the answer. He said I had to the end of the day to tell him. Towards the end of the day I asked them to clean up some stuff and pretty much shut down for the weekend. He complained, he smarted off and something in me broke. I said, “Raise your hand if you have a job at the end of the day.” I raised my hand and they both raised theirs. I told the complainer to put his hand down. To his credit he didn’t walk off the job, but he kept his mouth shut until we went home.

Change venue to a monster truck rally. You’ll have the whites dress there.
“No, just the rip in your pants.” Then walk away
I remember. This show was awesome when I was a kid. I’ve looked in passing for it, but kind of don’t want to find it. I want my fond memories to remain intact and untainted by how the effects aged
Two things. 1: don’t beat yourself up. 2: you’re not starting over from zero you’re starting with experience.
I ripped my toenail off. My brother and I used to run one of these across a concrete pad and the jump on it and ride across. (Those were built tough) I got off balance and it flipped back and I slid on my foot with all my weight and ground my big toenail off.
“I’m earning your salary… don’t forget that particular dynamic!”
I’ve lived in places like this. What is really funny how these people actually seem to get along with each, but not each other’s society.
High school kid got stabbed on the sidewalk in front of everyone. Kid (A) and Kid (B). Small town gang clash. A was running his mouth about B. B told A that he was going to beat the breaks off of A at last recess. A walks up like he’s ready to fight B. No one noticed A had slipped a small knife/blade (not sure of the exact weapon I was with a different group) between his knuckles and A straight punched B dead center of the chest piercing his heart. A was subdued immediately by other students. B actually ran to the office to get an ambulance called. B survived, A went to jail (not juvy). B’s friends anonymously (no one would talk) put A in the hospital the day he got out of jail.
Yes you can, but it’s a really REALLY bad idea
That is awesome. I applaud you.
