these are always fun to read.. i have a "i quit" story to start the thing off with.
working in the seafood department at a GIANT food market..
REEKED of fish, no matter how many times i showered, scrubbed, disinfected my body... Plus, my car smelled terrible!
but i do have one of my favorite "i quit" stories!
One day i was filleting a salmon, and my boss was leaving early (he opened the place, i closed it). Before he left, he asked me to do a couple of things before i left, so that he wouldn't have to do it in the morning.. Well, i was sick, and shouldnt have even been at work, but since it was ONLY him and i, I had to show up.. I told him that i was going to do my job and he could do his since i wasnt feeling well.
He responded that i was dangerously close to getting "written up". I told him he was dangerously close to me hitting him in the face with a whole salmon.. He said," thats it, you're written up" and yes, i took the salmon by the tail and nailed him across the face with it! His hat flew off his stupid head, the stupid pen he stuck behind his ear flew over the counter, and the deli department was cracking up.. If you could have heard the slap, or the look on his face afterwards you would be rolling!
I took my apron and hat off and walked out.. As i walked up one of the aisles the GM walked behind me and whispered as i left that if he saw me in this store ever again, he would call the cops and have me arrested! Assault with a deadly fish i guess!
