*PERSONAL WORK RANT BELOW this lovely Donkervoort D8 GTO dash

Sometimes you just wonder how your workers made it this far in life after their parents obviously dropped them on their heads as babies.

I mean my god some of them are so fucking incompetent! Then after months or years of trying to get them trained, they still can’t figure out how things work. And one in particular seems to be getting worse and worse. I don’t think I am destined to stay here much longer.

When I was in the oilfield, we had an operator who didn’t shower. Like you work outside in Texas in the summer. How the actual fuck do you not know about personal hygiene? On top of that, he had 5 kids. Me and the supervisor had to talk to him about showering because others on the crew were complaining about how bad he smelled in the crew van.

I was an engineer, and I was sitting inside our air conditioned data van for most of the day, so I’d wear my coveralls for 2 days. After I got on that crew, I started changing everyday, even if I didn’t need to.

That is disgusting! Like I can barely stand not showering every morning. Even when camping I hate that feeling. Thank god for sunshowers if even to just rinse off a little.

Yeah I don’t know how he could do that, I didn’t mind getting nasty at work as long as I could go back to the man camp/hotel and shower.

He smelled so bad I referred to him as death; he wasn’t aware of that.

I had to deal with a guy today that made me scratch my head. I went in on Tuesday to get a form notarized at a local notary public. The guy fills it all out and I have him fax the form. I go home and on Wednesday learn that he filled it out incorrectly. I look at my original copy...yep he sure did. So I go in today to talk to the guy and get him to redo the form. He rings me up at the register for $10. I ask, “You’re really going to charge me twice for this?” He looks at me like I have a third eye. “Uh, yeah?” I ask for the manager, who quickly tells me that it will be free of charge and apologizes. The thing is that the guy just looked surprised, even dumbfounded. Like he couldn’t comprehend why I didn’t want to pay again.

Oh my god. I think exactly the same every shift.

The other week I used some of the ice from the ice machine. A colleague asked, ‘is it safe to drink, well eat?’, I pointed out it is safe and comes from a cold water supply (which in the U.K. has to be drinkable) and also passes through two other large carbon filters on the back of the machine. Her reply, ‘are you sure though?’. I simply said well I can do a Google search and show you but I really can’t be arsed.

The other day another colleague went out to his car to find two flat tyres on one side (he’d gone over some glass), another colleague said, ‘is no one going to give his car a push to the tyre inflation machine (it’s all of 90-100 metres away from his parking space)?’. I said, ‘push? he can drive it’. Her reply, ‘you can’t drive on flat tyres’. I said it’s the same distance pushing as it is driving.

Working night shift I get it from colleagues and customers.

I just look at them and wonder, ‘who dresses you?’.

I like to say: When you are that stupid how do you remember to breath? It just shows how resilient the human species is that these specimens are still alive.

Oh my god, I don’t even want to start with the customers! Some of them are more dim than the burned out lightbulbs in their taillamps.

Thats funny. People get so angry when they order the part from us and we charge them the 35% restock fee that is on the invoice they signed and that we verbally told them.

Well Darwin didn’t take into effect all the people trying to save others from death. Even the idiots that should have been weeded out by now.

One operator was like I bring 6 pairs of coveralls, and when I’m out of coveralls I know it’s days off. I was like death knows it’s days off when his coveralls are black.

It really was vile, don’t get the idea everyone was like this, he was the only case I came across.

Oh customers. It’s a British thing to cue.

But when we have five large self service tills open and one is being used, customers line up behind the one being used.

We tell them to use one of the other open tills while also gesticulating at the green light above the till. But they just look at us blankly.

We do over 700 different types, textures, nationalities and flavours of yoghurt and get miffed when I see a customer taking (honestly, no exaggeration) 20+ minutes to choose one. It gets really annoying as we have an offer on the Muller rice, lights and corner yoghurts, one is 55p but the offer is 10 for £3.00. Watching them pick ten yoghurts while your trying to work round them is painfull.

And if I get another colleague or customer walk down the aisle and say, ‘it’s cold down here’, NEWS FLASH IDIOTS, IT’S THE CHILLED AISLE, IF IT’S NOT COLD, THE FRIDGES AIN’T WORKING’.

Ye’, work nights for the last 13 years.

I could of been out of prison for murder by now. Ironically, after 13 years there, I now know who I want to kill.

I don’t understand how people go through life like that. Then again, statistically half the population has bellow average intelligence.

I have a co-worker, nice guy but he asks the dumbest fucking question that a quick google search would answer and he is a huge anti-vaxer/natural herb believer. Then I have to go and clean up his hacked together mess. “(CREO 2.0) so instead of editing your first extrude yo proceeded to create 3 more extrudes and 2 extrude cuts, till you zeroed in on your height?!?!?!?!?”
