I worked with a guy we called dumbass. One time, we found a bottle of bubbles at the facility, and we were passing em around. When we gave it to dumbass he still had his face shield on. Not once, not twice, but three times did he try to blow bubbles through the shield. He might have tried a fourth time if we didn't burst out laughing at him at the third attempt. He later got fired for running over a can of wood bleach with a forklift, spraying it all over the bosses brand new pickup. He didn't even tell anyone when it happened. He just left while the stuff destroyed the paint.

[@Cat_chan420]

Ngl, I find that simultaneously horrific and hilarious. I'd assume that he was doing it on purpose (destruction of bosses property) except for that bubble incident you mentioned. Also, did the boss attempt to kick him off the site with physical force? Like a swift kick in the @$$ with a solid pair of steel toes?

[@krisgibbon2199]

@Cat_chan420 The wood bleach thing was entirely unintentional. He was trying to load a pallet of extra materials into his truck to take home. The wood bleach fell off the pallet, and he ran it over. The whole thing was caught on camera. When he came in the next day, he was surprised he was in trouble for anything. Until the boss showed him the damage to his car. Then he kinda understood, but still thought he shouldn't be kicked off the forklift for it. It was his arguing that got him fired in the end.

[@Cat_chan420]
