I was in need of a chainsaw case so I went to Home Depot to try and find one. While there I had to ask one of the employees for help and you know before the hysteria driven paranoia and fear over the Corona beer virus people could stand at arms length and carry on a conversation without terror striking them but not this woman who came to assist me.?ÿ
She maintained the approved 6 foot distance and I just couldn't help but mess with her a little so I took a step towards her at which point she took a step back. I kept this up and it was not long before we were at the end of the aisle and away from the chainsaw section by maybe 30 feet. So I meandered back towards the chainsaw section again and began it all over again.?ÿ
She was even carrying a dowel rod at about 4 feet long that she would point with and I began to wonder if she was gonna whack me with it.
?ÿ
She must have felt they way I do these days about close talkers.?ÿ You know, people who feel you can't hear them unless they are about two feet from you.?ÿ You can't maneuver away from them without being rude about it.?ÿ Don't leave your window down on your vehicle or they will stick their head inside.

You would have deserved it. 😈 ?ÿ
hmm, the proverbial "10 foot (4 foot in your case) pole"
Wow! What a man! It appears you derived a lot of pleasure and satisfaction from your theatrics in haranguing a fellow citizen. To carry one's self as a professional both on and off the job is truly inspirational.?ÿ
A couple weeks ago, I was staking an existing highway right of way so the ownership of some trees could be determined for a county required tree count. The engineer was on site as well. He was trying to talk to me but I couldn't hear for the traffic. I kept inching forward and he kept stepping back. I said "speak up and I'll leave you alone" even though it really wasn't on purpose. Even though he's an engineer, he saw the humor.?ÿ
At the supermarket last week, I'm at the checkout with my stuff on the conveyor, just me and one other shopper. Fellow shopper stands next to my shoulder, I move away, she moves closer, I move away, she moves closer ... in the end, before my stuff had gone through, I'm out the isle and she's standing in front of the cashier, so I went around to the isle entrance and paid for my stuff from that side, went back around to correct side, got my stuff and left. Both the shopper and the cashier cut me the foulest look.
Oh lighten up and give it a break. I have grown weary of the hyperventilating paranoia associated with this lockdown so if I have to tolerate people behaving irrationally I will try and get some amusement out of it.
Now please feel free to abstain from commenting.?ÿ
Boohoo Snowflake. And I've grown weary of a$$wipes associated with living on the this planet being so smug in their righteous convictions that they make sport of fvcking with folks making minimum wage and just trying get through another day.
Now go out and kick a crippled kid
If I would have had a mouth full of beer, it would now be all over my screen. I LOVE THIS PLACE. You just can't buy this kind of fun.
Oh Karen, I would definitely have fun with you.
Oh you poor little darling, I do believe I've hurt your feelings. Draw yourself a hot bath with your special lavender salts, pour a big tumbler of bourbon, plug in the radio and have yourself a good cry. Sweet dreams cup cake.
Nope not at all Karen,?ÿ Try and Deflect?ÿ all you want but you tipped your hand and exposed your cards.?ÿ
I bet you wouldn't have been so rude if it was a guy.?ÿ ?ÿYou're so tough.?ÿ?ÿ
The bath didn’t work, did it cup cake? You need to wipe your vagina down and get some rest. You got rode hard last night and nobody here wants to see you put away wet. You know, the smell and all. It’s a new week and you will have lots of opportunities to bully women, children and the infirm. You can then brag about it on the internet and you’ll grow a pair again and gain the admiration of surveyors around the world.
A good joke is guaranteed to upset someone.
Sounds like the premise for a late-night comedy skit.?ÿ?ÿ
At this point I'm applauding people who aren't afraid to point out some of the absurdities we're all having to deal with.?ÿ Ignoring or greatly undervaluing the economic consequences of an extended lockdown is just as deadly as going on a nursing home tour in NY.
?ÿ
?ÿ
@murphy?ÿ ?ÿsure, but this wasn't a stand up routine.?ÿ This was real life.?ÿ That employee obviously didn't think it was funny but was too afraid to speak up.?ÿ ?ÿSo no, this is not anything like?ÿ a "Good joke".

Years ago I had occasion to need to chat with a fellow who was a close talker/plug tobacco chewer/spits-as-he-speaks person. Fortunately, I had been warned. I was doing the back-up-to-avoid-being-spit-on dance step the whole time. We went all over that parking lot before he was talked out.
