Jesus was a horrible copilot!
I had a brief stint in a shit hole during COVID lockdowns. This old dude started and it turned out his wife and the lady in charge were friends. He was one of the dumbest people I’ve ever met. He legit had someone else’s glasses on and didn’t know until the other guy was trying to find his. He said he thought it was weird that he couldn’t see properly. He also seen a few guys with face screens rather than masks and he wanted one. We told him you can get them from health and safety, so off he goes. Comes back and says they’re awful, you can’t see shit out of them. He hadn’t removed the protective covering…
I’ve worked with some apes in my time but I’ve no idea how this guy got so far in life without dying or something
I traveled for a wedding where they’d rented out a whole place for guests to stay. They were just a little short of rooms and the first night I had to share a room with a friend. Older than me, has ADHD (I think I do too, but he has it in spades), kind of a mess. I woke up in the morning and couldn’t find my glasses. Sure enough, he got up before me, grabbed mine without knowing they weren’t his… Got them back later slightly mangled. Good times.
He wasn’t dumb, but he could be startlingly oblivious about some things.
My father had his own business and at some point he had an assistant who is one of the dumbest people I’ve ever met. Her husband was an idiot too. At one point she was angry with him because he bought a “real” leather jacket out of some Russian guy’s trunk on some rest stop on the highway.
I work at a call center, and a few years ago I got moved next to this person when we changed management teams. She was a very nice person in general, but for some reason as the day went on her voice would get louder and louder. I was amazed our manager never said anything as it sounded like she was screaming at the people on the phone by the end of our shift. I thought maybe she was just having a bad day or something so I didn’t make a big deal out of it.
She kept getting louder though.
It got so bad that I was eventually pressing my hands over my headphones because she sounded louder than my own customers I needed it listen to. After about a week of this I’d finally had it, and I tapped her on the shoulder and asked if she could please try to keep her volume down since I couldn’t hear my own callers anymore.
She looked at me like I’d just kicked a puppy or something. She made a HUGE show of gathering up all of her possessions and moving all the way to the other end of our row as far from me as she could get, all in complete silence
I think she actually expected me to come find her and apologize lol but since THAT wasn’t about to happen I lived happily ever after never having to listen to her big fat mouth ever again
A wannabe manager / story teller type.
He couldn’t tell the truth to save his life. He would tell stories all day within earshot and you could hear the story morph through the day.
He’s a director of IT now I think. I can’t be sure because he never told the truth.
Right, had this dude who applied for a job at a wireless internet company, the job posting had very specifically mentions that you will be working at Heights and you will be required to pass a 2 day working at heights safety course.
2 rounds of interviews we ask them how they are with heights and so they have an issue with climbing ladders or working on elevated work platforms. Dude says no worries in both rounds of interviews.
First day on the job we do some basic ladder safety to prepare them for the course. Storing a ladder, securing a ladder to the work trucks, securing the ladder to a roof, how to wear a harness.
Say 2 of the job is the First day on the training course and we hear from the training provider that the guy refuses to participate in the practical work and they won’t be accepting him for the second day.
He comes into the office on what was going to be his second day of training and has the stones to say he won’t be working in the field as he is scared of heights.
He didn’t make it till lunchtime that day.
It definitely sucks, but of all the jobs out there, he had to apply to this one?
