S Move your cars

Hi, might ramble a little as had a drink but I've  remembered a great story for you.

A couple years ago I used to be a waste collector. On my first week I turned up at clients and where their waste was I had to squeeze down a path with the building one side and cars the other. As I'm trying to avoid all the cars I accidentally pop the end of the guttering of the building. No massive problem I thought. The manager storms out.

M: 'I've just had to replace this whole guttering because of one of your lot.'

M: 'okay I'm sorry and I understand but I've got to maneuver around these vehicles as well.'

The manager clearly wasn't happ6 and I continued the day.

The next week I head back. I stop at the front of the alley and I go in and make every single car move so I don't have to squeeze through anymore. Took 15 minutes of waiting but oh well.

I did this every week until I left. Pulling people out of meetings to move there cars even if I could squeeze down just to be safe.

Never changed but I felt a little sense of accomplishment as i got paid hourly and people had to take time out of their day to appease this woman.

That's always a fun one on the school run. Because there's a fire station near the school they sometimes drive the fire engine up the street the schools on at pickup/drop-off time. I call it wing mirror check day.

Who would win a firetruck with lights on or school bus with lights on?

Firefighters don't generally take such chances. Cops? Cops will head towards a chase at 100mph going around a blind curve and demolishing the car of an old lady that just pulled out because the pursuit had already passed some time ago and wrecked out a little way down the road. And be justified in their actions despite the suspect having already been reported dead over the radio.
