RE: Is Everyone sick of people tooting their own h
I Can't remember everyones name Broom. There are so many great folks on here, sorry if I upset some folks on here. Chuck I was talking about your work as a cop before you got into this business. You are find you can TOOT your horn anytime. Sorry if Upset some folks but I just had to say what was on my mind.
My post was about folks trying to make theirselfs look better than others. Last I checked we all put our pants on the same way, "one leg at a time". I'm no better than anyone that post on here and I don't act that why either. I just Don't like Folks that think they are better than others because they may have more or done more.
Let me tell you a ture story.
I donated my truck for many years to The womens board at Akron City hosp. They have a big yard sale twice a year to raise money for Cancer and breast Cancer. So each year they would hire Flex team temps to ride in the truck to help pick up all the things that people donated. So the one guy who had been doing it each year because he we blind. I mean he could see but he couldn't drive a car. So he did this each year to make Extra money to buy things for Christmas for his little girl who too was also blind. Well, we picked up a desk at one stop and he asked me if I thought they would let them him buy it for his daughter who needed a desk at home to do her school work.
I told him I really don't know. So he went up and ask the lady about buying the desk and her words just got under my skin. She looked a the man and said " don't you worrie about that desk you can't afford it anyway and you and your other flex team guys need to work faster".
Well, I didn't like the way she treated all these men and I thought that she was rude and a stuck up lady that thought that just because her husband was a doctor at the hospital she was better than these men.
So, I went over to her and told her she had 10 minutes to get all the stuff off my truck. She looked at me and said "you can't do that" Then I told her yes I can. Then she told me that she was going to call my company. I told her, well I have the number if you want it.
So she called my company and they told her that they didn't own the truck that I did, So if he told you that he means it.
So this lady came back to me with her tail between her legs asking if I would please stay. I told her that the only way I would stay is.
You know that desk that you told that man he couldn't afford to buy. You just bought it for his daughter for $500.00 and paid the money to the women boardright now. Then I told her that she had to buy lunch for all the Flex team guys because the way she treated them. I told her that was the only way I was going to stay and move all this stuff for them.
She did it but she wasn't happy about it. Then I told her " the toes you step on today may just be attached to the A$$ your kissing tomorrow". Then I Told her that just because her husband was a Doctor didn't give her the right to think that she was better than other folks. I think I really upset her when I told her that Truck driver's can make as much as her husband did or even more. Then she looked at me and said truck driver's don't make $100,000.00 a year. I thought that was funny. So I had to tell her that my one truck made over $151,000.00 that year and I have 3 of them. You should have seen the look on her face.
So the one man got the desk for his daughter and all the guys from Flex team got free lunch thanks To this lady that thought she was better than everyone.
Thats what I'm talking about. Well I guess you could say I was tooting my own horn. But that don't make me better than anyone in this world.
