Or, your and you're.
I think he was back on the ruined bar studs in the other thread.
Oh, I didn't read that one...
Naw, the kid thought he spelled idiot correctly, I didn't waste any time on the your-you're tangent. I had him on the ropes already with "idot"...
That same shop, before I was a foreman, had another loudmouth kid on first shift, and as always there was a shift rivalry, so he was always
trying to make second/third shift mechanics look bad.
Anyway, there was some new vending machines in the breakrooms that were set up to take dollar bills, one of the cola machines took your
dollar, but gave you no credits. This kid lost his dollar the first day, so he made an obnoxious sign about the machine, but added curse words
and started it as a list so anyone else could add their name if they lost a dollar, so his name was at the top of the list, and several other guys
had lost money too, so everyone put the amount they lost after their name.
So second shift came in, he was going on and on about the machine and making a usual ass out of himself, we saw that a bunch had
lost their dollar, so we didn't even bother trying it. I ended up having to do a double that night, so on my last break @ 4:00 a.m., I
was in the breakroom, I looked at the sign, and using the same color pen that he used, I made his $1.00 into $4.00.
When I was packing up my tools at 8:00, I heard the service manager in the office giving him hell. "What kind of idiot puts in $4 before
he gives up???!!!!"
Priceless......
