Oh boy! Where to start? I'll give a quick rundown of the layout of our men's room in the warehouse. This little room is one of the most poorly designed I have personally seen. The person that drew up the floor plan should have every license they hold stripped away from them. Yes, even their drivers license. This person is quite possibly too dumb to operate a motor vehicle. OK. Enough with personal thoughts for now. The whole room is maybe 7' X 12'. The door swings inward with the hinges on the right side. Immediately, the sink is too the left. While standing at the sink, you will be clobbered by the door if somebody else tries to come in. They have managed to squeeze in two urinals and a sit down stall in this room also. I am a pretty wide dude. I have to shrug my shoulders to fit in the urinal stalls. Seriously, I feel like Tommy Boy when he is changing clothes in the airplane bathroom. If there were three grown men in this room at the same time, nobody could move.
Today, I wanted to use this restroom. I opened the door and almost knocked the person on the other side of the door to the ground. He almost fell, not because I opened the door too fast or with too much force. He almost fell because he was standing on one foot!!! He was standing on one foot because he was washing his disgusting, dirty, stinky, gross, effing FEET in the sink!!! It took a second for me to catch on. At first, I apologized and then I realized what was going on. He said, "It is OK, come in.'" Like I was interrupting him. I just freakin' lost it. I'm sure I went a little overboard. I just couldn't get over it. This person was a truck driver that was picking up at the warehouse. I let it be known that wasn't a gosh darn truck stop! I have to wash my hands and face in that sink. What in hell would make someone think this is acceptable? I mean, come the F on!! If he would have asked if there was a place to wash his feet, someone might have shown him the shower room. Again, this isn't the Flying J. It is a working warehouse.
I am so sick and tired of having to be tolerant of every other religion and culture and their traditions and customs. It's not that I don't want to accept and/or respect them. I personally think that some cultures have a better handle on some things. I won't bore you with a butt load of examples (eye for an eye). I just don't understand why I (the conservative Christian American) have to be so tolerant, all the while, every other religion and culture refuses to respect and/or accept my beliefs. That is very un-American. Very, dare I say, liberal. Same thing, isn't.
Enough politics. Just ask someone nicely for something. You'll be surprised how often you will get what you asked for. Just because you think it's OK, doesn't mean it is OK.
because you are a good american christian is why you do tolerate the rude and the ignorant! And there is no one more beautiful than mrs. mike
ReplyDeleteI have a class this year that is basically a short study hall that is full of students that I normally wouldn't see as a shop teacher. I've noticed that many of them are very disrespectful and seem to have a chip on their shoulder when they come in. Given the opportunity to make a first impression, has no one ever told them it should be a good impression? My dad always told me to respect the position even if you don't respect the man. Same thing for your fellow workers. Must be nice that your priorities always take precedence over your fellow man.
ReplyDeleteNice to see you back blogging again and knowing Mrs. Mike, you damn sure got the better end of the bargain there, big guy.
And THIS just confirms why I married you. So. Damn. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteXcuse the mooshiness, readers.
