Cringe


Built a glass room and roofed a house in Henry IL.

Customer went to town for groc.

Mark(an employee) asked where the bathroom was and I told him where.

20 minutes later another employee asked me what happened to mark. I went to check on him, wondering if he fell in.

Mark comes out of the bathroom, drying his hair with the customers toothbrush in his mouth.

The maggot took a stinking shower!

At least he was clean for the unemployment line.

Re: Cringe


Glass, kinda makes you wonder who raised him doesn't it? Using a customers toothbrush? And bath?
Maybe we could use another topic "Employee Stories". I know that I have a few doozies.

Re: Cringe


Same guy (Mark)

Was driving down the road and saw his truck in a parking lot. figured I'd stop and say hey.

No one was around and the store was closed. I knew it was his truck cause there was a half eaten hot dog on the dash.

I called out loud thinking he may have walked around the building.

Marks head poped up out of the dumpster. He had slept there cause his truck smelled like gas.

Re: Cringe


It gets worse.

He had been sleeping in his truck because he rented his house to a couple, they moved in, the next night he crawled in the window, made a sandwitch and slept on the couch. They had to get the cops to remove him.

Re: Cringe


Grumpy,

Re-reading my post, I think you were right about the coffee thing.

Glasshousebltr,

I guess the bonus to having this guy employed is, never a dull moment....or perhaps comic relief?
