Can't Fix Stupid, Dumb Dumb.

Random blogging...

Below is an email i shot out to the managers of the staff who came so unmentionable close to losing their lives that morning.

The whole story still gets me rilled up.
This happened a few months ago during our rainy season.
I've never been so livid at the level of stupidity of one person.



S&R:

Please remind your staff (specifically Shithead* and A* this morning) if they’re going to cross the street in front of traffic on a blind corner, at least make the effort to run!

A* at least made the effort to run off the road when she saw the cars. Shithead* however, sauntered extra slow to challenge the cars as they came to a sliding stop on a blind corner (in the rain- less than 6 feet from him) as he laughed at the cars as though he was making a point of "see I can make you stop".

Maybe ask them if it’s the new cool to be extra stupid? Especially when one of them has children that is trying to get visitation rights. Good luck with that!

Strongly suggest if they’re going to play chicken with traffic and do manage to get hit, cos one can only assume that is the goal, that they’re doing it illegally, (drivers wont be held responsible for killing them) and that there is a overpass less than 25 yards down the road *gasp*  that might actually save their lives!!!

Should I witnessed it again in the future, I will side as witness for the drivers. Who if successfully hit and injure them, will have to live with the haunting memories of that the rest of their lives. Not to mention that I would have to identify dismembered, squished bodies!

Had today’s traffic been a truck of any sort, both of them would be dead. Instantly.

Yes I know I cross that road too, but I also wait to make sure no cars are coming. I don’t saunter out in front of them assuming they can or will stop.

Not sure if the company would be responsible for any kind of insurance etc should one of them come that close again. (Turns out as they weren't on company property, the company isn't held liable and I could have let loose on them directly rather than sending this email.)

P.S.
Today was way closer to ending Shithead's* life, than the day C* recently ran in front of a semi without looking. At least she ran.

If what happened a few moments ago is any indication of the stupidity you work with, you’re both saints.

Just Saying.

We let Shithead* go a few days later, and learned two weeks after that, he got hit by a car while crossing the road.

Don't you just love karma?

 I no longer work directly with the Screaming Banshee! Back in June we had a meeting and completed a manager's shuffle. The company does...
