I was working at a greenhouse that stored tropical plants over the winter for wealthy clients and someone's "man" -- I don't know what his actual job or relation to this client was and only ever heard him described as this -- was due to bring a delivery truck with 6 or so 10 foot tall lemon trees in pots. This was the day that only me and another small non-man employee were in the building, but we were told he had a handcart and we weren't expected to move anything. But then he did, I fear, drive the truck into the building for a little kiss because he didn't know that the height of the truck was several feet taller than our garage door. And then as me and my coworker were jogging up to the door yelling for him to stop, he did of course repeat this for some reason. And then he was so rattled he basically begged us for help moving the delivery down from the truck onto the floor of the greenhouse.
For reference if you've never seen a lemon tree they get BIG ASS villainously sharp spines on the branches that are spaced out just enough they're difficult to spot, so moving them is harrowing. Especially when they're so tall that the person navigating the handcart has the branches directly in their face once the cart is at an angle sufficient to push it and you have to 100% rely on a buddy to direct you forward. And even moreso! When you're looking at your coworker like is this guy tweaking!! Is he going to drop this big honking spiked tree on us or himself!!
Anyways we all lived and we didn't drop the trees and later he explained he was just a little eepy so it's fine!

my apartment has a bit of a c*ckroach problem that maintenance is not very proactive about. i hate those sumbitches so much. it feels like my home is being invaded every time one of them crawls out from under the fridge.
i employed raid spray on one such invader for the first time the other day and while i’m not typically someone with a proclivity for the morbid, i loved watching that creepy crawly critter die immediately. i didn‘t have to catch it, i didn‘t have to smoosh it, i just sprayed, *carrie bradshaw voice* AND JUST LIKE THAT, it went from insect to extinct. i was tempted to stake its head on a toothpick and place it in front of my door to warn other aspiring intruders like they did in the middle ages, but i’m hoping the smell of the spray will ward them off.

we were on a walk and he just scooped a crushed coffee cup off the ground and dropped it in the bin in one motion. he didn’t stop the conversation either.
i was DONE FOR after that.
