Nixed Name

Had a person named Richard submit a claim from their doctor that indicated his gender as female?  So of course at my employers request I called the provider to verify, because common sense doesn’t seem to apply.  Now I have never met a girl named Richard (she might exist), thou I can’t see any women wanting this name, especially with that nickname.  I don’t even think most Richards like that nickname, which is often said behind their back and not to their face.

Live It

They don’t get to have an opinion about what’s it like to work for a living when the closes thing they have had to a job was an unpaid internship doing something they wanted to do in the first place.  Until they have worked at a job that they hate, day after day, month after month because they have a family to support, only then can we have a discussion.  For you don’t also get to do what you like or like what you do, rather you just have to do.

Kryptonite

When my youngest was around 4 they were visiting neighbors who have a pool.  One of the children they were playing with (age 9 or 10) had a cell phone that they claimed was indestructible.  This must have intrigued them for later the other child left the phone near the pool and apparently my child decided to test out the others claim.  So they picked the phone up and threw it on the concert, where it split into pieces and then landed in the pool.  Needless to say their claims were proven false.

Ram Tuff

I was in a part of Ireland where the sheep roam free range and cause Irish traffic jams.  While on a bus tour we noticed that a lot of the sheep had color on their hind quarters.  So we inquired of the bus driver as to why?  Apparently it was mating season and the farmers would attach bags of die on the Rams and when they rammed a female it would break and then they would be able to tell which Ram stuck their ram in which female.  All I got to say is whatever Ram had the color red was very busy propagating the species.

They Called Him The Streak

Back in the 70’s there was a fad of people streaking thru public events wearing nothing but sneakers.  Someone even wrote a song about it.  Also for some reason one of my older siblings acted as the getaway driver for one.  Today if you were to do this, they’d hunt you down as a perv, lock you up and put you on a sex offenders list.  My how times have changed.

Only Until Coffee

I remember on one youth camping trip with my child, they woke me in the middle of the night because they thought they heard an animal outside the tent and were scared.  So I listen to the sound and advised them there was nothing to fear, it was just Mr. Jones in an adjacent tent snoring and while he might be a bear before he had his AM coffee, we had nothing to fear at the moment.

Guess So

Someone I know use to own a beat up Astro van for work that he always left the keys in it, in the misguided belief that no one would ever want to steal it.  Well he didn’t take into consideration the drug addict who happened by looking for a ride.  They took his van and drove it to a local super market and proceeded to steal a cart worth of meat. So while my friend is making out his police report, another officer showed up at his house about the theft from the store.  Later that night the police happened upon the van a rockin & a rollin; finding the addict still in possession and entertaining a prostitute in the back.  While they found the van and the thief, the meat and my friends work tools were long gone.  My friend said he really cleaned the van well after he got it back and didn’t want to consider what might have occurred in it.

So Sad

I once knew a person that was so miserable and disliked by people that their own dog would nip at them if they got to close.  They even tried to raise bees and the bees must have sensed something for they even deserted them, now that’s just sad.  Maybe they should move to a Cabin In The Woods, just not with me.

Azz Wipe

I once knew a front end receptionist who got fired because she couldn’t remember the name of one of the people who “thought” they were important.  It hurt his ego, dick!  He obviously made no lasting impression on her.  I guess he has insecurities and an extreme need to be seen as if he matters.  Wear a name tag if it’s so important to you that people know who you believe you are.
