Ranting and Raving

I enjoyed the Rants thread back at our old home. Maybe we get one going here:

I don't have much to start, but today a buddy came by with a cracked seat bracket on his truck. Not sure how he managed to do this as he's not that big. Maybe his ex borrowed it for a day or something.

Anyways... I grind the rivits, remove the bracket and fire two monster welds down both sides. And bolt it back in. No way that's breaking again.

All this time I thought I put my gear well clear of the spatter zone (sun glasses, watch, knife, phone, etc) but I goofed and left my phone face up.

I now have three pinholes melted through my f-ing screen right in my field of vision.

How the hell did three specs of the sun fly that far across my garage when I was welding in shorts and a beater with only one ratty mechanix wear glove on my left hand and I didn't even get a singe?

This isn't the end of the world but I'm OCD about this stuff and it's driving me insane!

I'm sure you guys have bigger problems. Let's hear them.
 
Here I'll chime in with a phone rant as well, the otter box defender which I previously liked and have had on many phones now comes new and improved "screenless edition" so there is no more hard screen over your phone, instead the case has raised edges with the idea preventing the screen from actually hitting ground during a drop,ya fuck that shit a week maybe 9 days later brand new screen smashed, guess during engineering tests none of them figured it out that the surfaces aren't always perfectly flat.

I just got me a shiny new LG g7 because the defender boxes are crap

Poetic boxes come with a hardened screen protector $20 on Amazon and I'm happy with it
Alot more so to than with the otter box defender
 
The best iPhone case I ever had was the otter with the top flap hinged cover. I seriously left the phone in that case on the front tire of my jacked up dodge powerwagon that had 40” tires after I finished shining her up one day. Well I was rushing and had to get somewhere and jumped in the truck and backed out of my gravel driveway. Though oh fuck my phone! I pulled back around and seen it in the ground. It survived being ran over. Had the imprints from rocks and the tire lugs on it but phone was still gtg! Was crazy how much beating those cases could withstand

Was that the one that had metal snap clips on the side
Man my old iPhone 5 it fell off a 2 story roof onto the driveway and there was just minor scuffs and the phone was still legit 100%

I wish they still made those
 
On Sunday I'm at work and this guy parks right in front of our front door and proceeds to get a coffee and just sit at a table by the door... it's quiet so we leave him be and don't mention that his car is in a no-park zone.

An hour goes by and it's getting a bit busier with traffic so one of our sales guys walks up to the guy, who is still just sitting there, and asks him if he needs any help. He says No... so the same sales guy asks him if he can please move his car to one of our parking stalls (which is about 20 feet from the door, so not a big ask). He says No.

As the manager I see this and make my way over. I ask the guy to please move his car. He says No. I say, no problem, please give me the keys and I'll move it for you.

The guy takes his coffee and throws it on the glass front door and walls and proceeds to reply in a raised voice "I'm not moving my car, I'm going to report you!" And he just repeats this over and over. Gets right up in my face with his phone and starts taking pictures.

I have absolutely no idea how I was able to maintain composure (I'm on 700 Tren/wk for frame of reference) but I calmly smiled and almost started laughing at him. I said "Hey, Juan Valdez, is there something wrong with your coffee? Would you like me to get you another one because you missed a spot on the wall?"

I put my nose half an inch from his and said "take a swing pretty boy, you get one freebie, make my day!" . Keep in mind I've also got +50 lb on this guy easily. He just proceeded to rave like a lunatic and he tried everything he could to antagonize me into laying a hand on him first... which I did not.

I then asked him "are we going to dance or not?" He then sat down and didn't say a word... so I looked over at our receptionist and said "That's it, party's over, call 911 and let's get this goof out of here".

In 5 min RCMP walks in, looks at me and I just point to the guy sitting there. Cop walks over and forcefully says " Sir, stand up, turn around, youre under arrest!".

The guy was shocked! And I just looked at him and smiled, waved bye-bye as he was taken away and loaded up into the squad car. And I blatantly took pictures of him being arrested, not to mention of his vehicle.

After 30min in the car the cop asks me if I want to press charges. I say we will cut him loose after I get to have a few words with him, and after the cop verifies all photo / video of me is deleted from his phone... so I then proceed to tell him we have everything on security camera, if he ever comes back he will be arrested on sight as I am sharing his photo with our entire staff, and now "Move your fucking car, and don't come back!"

Afterwards the sales guy watching this told me I had veins in my neck that looked like they were gonna blow, and I was as red as the firealarm bell on the wall. He was afraid I was going to kill the guy, but I told him I value my job too much, and too many witnesses, haha.

Just another Sunday :coffee:

I really try hard when shit like this happens to remember that so many people around us are not mentally well and it would be wrong of me to smash some sick dude. You did great. I am not so great at reminding myself of the mental wellness aspect before shit hits the fan, but great after the fact.
Used to take pride in the smashing but now I take pride in staying cool, more pride actually, it's harder.
 
Ya, but we have harmless guys that come in just to be social. We don't mind. Have a coffee, read the paper, shoot the shit. Be cool and we're cool. I've become friends with one guy that comes by almost daily as he lives in the area.

I have a real problem at work now though. We hired a new girl that's probably half my age and I'm in Tren-love. I'm not into blondes at all but this is an exception: tattoos, piercings, fit. I think she's afraid of me in general, won't really make eye contact, which is good, as I avoid too. I feel like Kevin Spacey in American Beauty. I hope this stops or I've got to cut this cycle short, haha!

DONT. Fuck me I just went thru that over a year ago. Maybe you’ll get lucky and she won’t talk about how she’d like you to fuck her all day at work. Mind you if you don’t work her like I did you may not have to worry. I do miss her talking dirty to me though. Or when he woukd shake her tits and ass as shectalked to me. Gave me some excitment for a bit, butfucking torture at the same time.

If you do have fun, don’t fuck you life to bang her though. Just not worth it, especially someone you work with.

If this chick pulls any 'meat-maid' shit with me Im in big trouble. But she won't. I cant work her either, I would never even try. Ive got no game at all. I've got negative-game, if thats even possible. Its embarrassing, but allows for a secure marriage as even If a girl threw herself at me Id find a way to fuck it up.

Years ago i blew a 3-some opportunity with a blond and a black chick. They got me all the way into their hotel room. Not quite sure how i fucked it up, i was a bit drunk and just being me, but good news was i stole their bottle of tequila on my way out!

Negative game man. You aint seen failure with women until youve seen me.

I remember you saying that. Be careful some woman like the challenge. You can control yourself. If I could do it with the meat maid anyone can. Honestly it wasn't that much fun. She doesn't work here anymore and I'm happy about that.

Hahaha “the meat maid” I remember you talking about her but I was never sure if you were just talking about your wife or something. Do you own the butcher shop? Did you hire her to begin with? I can’t imagine some girl I work with just flat out saying she wants to fuck me. Obviously some have made it very obvious but don’t say anything until we’re actually in bed already.

Yep I own the shop, Yep I hired her, actually my wife told me to hire her.
Anyhow before I completely put a stop to it, yeah I used to flirt back so I wasn't innocent, I had put up a note asking everyone to write down what they wanted me to fix or do around the shop for maintenance. anyhow she looks at me and says, I want you to eat my ass.

By that time it had been almost a year of this and I wasn't on tren anymore, running pretty much trt so the thrill was off.

SO I had got ripped for mexico and taken a video of me dancing to Mexican music just so I could see what I would look like dancing on holidays (yeah, gay and vain).

I told her that I would not be going out with her for sure (she asked numerous times), showed her the video because I'm a cock and wanted to rub in what she wasn't going to get, lol and that was that. She then parked in my wifes parking stall at work for a month because she was pissed.

Quit to go to another job about 2 months after that. Which is good because she really didn't like being told no, see she was really hot, I don't know if any guy ever said no to her. It became uncomfortable at work after I told her it would never happen.

I will never flirt with another girl at work again.
