Ok, I know I've mentioned before that I'm currently a foreman working for a commercial landscape maintenance company(might have the new job next week :-)).

Well one of our bigger contracts is that we do all the McDonald's in the region, and one of these such McDonald's was my second stop this morning, we had already finished all the work and were just blowing the property off, when I was blowing off a small strip between the order kiosk and the payment window during a break in vehicles which normally takes all about 5 seconds and I'm not exaggerating, I'm there about 2 seconds and the lady that was next in line pulls up on me and nearly hits me I jump out of the way and if I haven't she probably would have, I look to see why she was trying to pull forward like that and there was no where for her to go because someone else was still paying, I signal her that I just need one second to finish and as soon as I look down she near about runs me over!

I don't know wtf is wrong with people I seriously lost a little faith in the human race today

/Rant

You should have weed eatered* her front quarter panel.

* or is it "weed ate" or "weed eated"?

I chow down on a breakfast burrito every once in awhile. Everything else McD's makes me poo water 30 seconds after ingesting it.

Me and a coworker were walking around our business park. It is not in a great part of town...near 49/woodlawn....anyways we were walking, him in the grass and me along side the curb when a car coming towards us, speeds up, and swerves into the curb to make me jump out of the street. (there was plenty of room)

its weedeat.

I thought for a second about kicking her door(steel toe boots) but then I would have intentionally damaged a customer vehicle while working at maybe our second biggest customer contract property, nothing good would have come out of it, so I just settled with cussing her out followed by a phone all to my manager explaining why he may hear of one of his employees cussing someone out at a McDonald's.

ive been nearly hit twice before in the last 8 month, but both of the other cases were because I was in a bad spot and they couldn't see me, especially the second time, I think it scared the crap out of the guy when he realized how close he came to hitting me because he took a turn really fast and I was around the corner.

But this is the exception because she knew I was there and straight up tried to run me over

No offense Doc but when in the bloody fuging hell did landscapers decide it was ok to blow debris on your car with a high powered blower from 5 feet or less?

 

fuging up my paint job because you want to hurry up and blow the last leaf away.  that's bullshit.

i love spitting on peoples cars to get even--

 

they have to look at the wet (or dried) spit sulking there for the entire drive to their destination and then have to clean it off eventually or else be reminded everytime they get in their car of the deed that caused the loogie stain on their windshield or driver-side window

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
