I don't know why I keep running in to morons at their workplace. Here is today's lunch venture at the new Subway by my house.
Subway guy: Welcome to Subway, what can I get for you?
Me: Let me get a footlong Subway Club on Honey Oat.
Sub Guy: That's not on the 5 dollar menu.
Me: That's fine, I still want one.
Sub Guy: You can get one of the other ones for only $5.
Me: I am aware, I still want the Subway Club.
Sub Guy: Ok, that will be $5.95 though.
He made it seem like I was Bill Gates for ordering a sandwich over the $5 menu.

I drove up with some friends last weekend to spend the day at Sylvan Lake. Everybody knows it as Sylvan Lake, nobody calls it anything else, that's it's name on every map, sign, etc. I had a friend in my car, pretty girl, who says to me as we arrive and are driving past it: "So is this, like, really a lake?" I looked at her and calmly asked "Are you serious?" To which she responded "Yea---no. Nevermind."
At least she was wearing a bikini the whole hour and a half ride up there.

Here is my stupid worker story.
Me and 2 co-workers are on our 30 min break. So we decided to go to carl's Jr. The line was pretty long but we said screw it. We finally get to order and its this mexican chick who speaks almost no engrish. I ordered a number 4. My other friend orders a famous star meal and my cheap buddy orders 1 chicken strip and a small coke. We finally get the food and the bish only give my friend 1 chicken strip. Me and my friend started lauging so damn hard it was funny and my friend who got ripped off was pissed. The lady couldn't really understand us so she got her manager and he appologised about the whole thing and fixed it. We got to work late but oh well.

Seriously, one day I'm going to stop coming to s2ki. It's gonna happen. And when it does, these are the kinds of theads I'm going to miss.
And sorry, no stupid people who have jobs stories from me. I don't work with retards, just the laziest mother****ers to walk the planet. I think that's a different thread.

I think there's something about the Canadian IT guys working at our company... One of them asked me what the difference was between a software and hardware token, and their team also decided it was a smart move to make the local admin password on their servers, be the same as the server name... f'ing dimwits.
Another bunch of idiots elsewhere send out the username and password for an admin and a user account for a test server, which hosts a copy of confidential production data, where the password is the same (and super simple) for both the admin and the user, and this was communicated to a huge distribution list of employees... I sent the person a message saying that it was absolutely not conforming to company policies, and they had the nerve to reply saying "well, the person who requested this info shouldn't have sent it to so many people" (she did a "reply all" in Outlook, if you see what I mean).

I was in Office Max yesterday getting some stuff copied for work and I went in there wearing shorts, Pumas, and a Budweiser t-shirt - lookin real classy. I was in there for 10 minutes and 2 people asked me
"Are you the manager"
Stop asking me you stupid idiots. I am wearing a Budweiser shirt.

This has nothing to do with a job, but it is a stupid story about a friend of mine.
I was on the way back from a BBQ with some fellow S2Ki members in camping country north of the city last Saturday and stopped at a friend's house to help with an HID install in the fog lights of his STI.
I arrived to the front bumper lying on the floor of the garage and helped out with the process of mounting the ballasts and customizing the enclosure where the bulbs were mounted previously, and wiring things up - pretty much plug and play. We did have some issues though because during manufacturing the positive and negative terminals were switched and we couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while.
Finally we decided we had figured it out and swapped the wires and I made the comment that "Yep, they're going to work now - uh oh, shouldn't have said that" and looked around for something wood to knock on before asking my buddy Mike J if he had a piece of wood handy.
Living in a neighborhood that is still under construction he mentioned that he didn't have any but that he could find one. I looked at his brother and we realized that Mike J hadn't quite understood why I wanted the wood. So as he walked away to find a piece he asked how big it should be. I told him if it was a 2x4" that it should no longer than a foot long.
About 5 minutes passed and I heard Mike returning and he yelled out "I've got one here but it's dirty. Will that be okay?!" I told him it would be better if it were clean, so Mike turned around and kept looking for another 10 minutes while I sat in the garage with his brother, having a smoke.
Mike returned with a foot long piece of 2x4" and I said "Perfect" and took it out of his hand, knocked on it, and handed it back to him. He stood there dumbfounded for a moment while I got in the car, turned the key, and the lights worked. He turned around and walked out the garage and said 'Ohhh I get it."
Smart feller.
