I happen to be chronically ill, since i was about 17. Last time i visited my specialist, and i complained about being SO tired all the time and that it depressed me, he told me, i should view my disease and myself differently. He said: "Having Crohns disease, is like being an athlete, it's top sport for the body to deal with it, it's natural for you to be so tired,...it's the... Read More »
Coffee Shop Prank War
When I was a few years younger, my first three years of high school I worked at the most popular coffee shop in the city. Prank wars between me, the baker and another guy who worked counter were a fairly regular thing. Alot of the time these pranks would be small annoying things (I.E. poking holes in the bottom of cups, throwing doughnut bits, blowing up ketchup packs, ect.) but nothing ever came close to the level of obscene we hit one night when by sheer chance all three of us were scheduled to run the afternoon shift. Since this shift happened to be on a Friday the owner dicked off early to go bang his hideous wife or some shit, which left only us three alone for 7 hours. Things got off to a quick start as I packed a straw full of artificial sweetener and blew the whole thing directly into his ear while he was taking an order on the headset. He got me back by filling up a cup with milk and sugar which forms some kind of think grainy sticky sludge and poured it down the back of my uniform.....this led to some discomfort so to speak. This is when it started to get nasty, the kid that worked the counter was one of those people who loves his fitted ball cap. When I was on my lunch, I stole his hat and dipped the entire thing in melted chocolate fondant and gently put it back where I found it. He only noticed when he was off work and was changing an hour before I got off. Usually this is also when the night rush comes in. Sure enough the store was packed and as he walks out and all out boots me right in the nuts as I'm making a customers food, causing me to puke all the prep table. To this day that was the most painful blow I have ever taken in my life, but still it was totally worth it...I may have been in alot of pain, but he loved that hat and I'm pretty sure he was crying on his way out the door.
I used to be able to get back from lunch at 12:30 and know that there would be a fresh batch of uPick submissions to read, but now I have to actually do some work as it is not being updated everyday!!!!
Several years ago I worked with a overnight delivery company. It wasn't unusual to run into all sorts of dogs when you made a delivery (including nasty ones.) One day, I walked up to a lady's house where the front door was open. As soon as I rang the bell, I heard the jingle of dog tags & realized I was too far away from the vehicle to get back there in time, so I braced myself.... Read More »
I work at Wal-Mart as a Wireless Sales Associate (basically electronics), and we have this one reoccurring older African-American customer who comes in with the assumption that we are some type of IT or Geek Squad. Well anyways, he comes in about a week ago, and brings his laptop. The laptop that he has is a Compact with Windows XP (a bit outdated I must say). Anyways, he pulls... Read More »
I work private security, we have lately been having a lot of issues with access control and breaches (people not allowed to be there, being there.) so we have one officer who is in charge of training all of the officers in proper breach control. During his breach test, he failed and got a slap on the wrist. During mine, I passed but I missed a minor detail and got written up and... Read More »
