I am engaged to an apprentice electrician. He's very good at his work, but he always ends up with the worst SCs. He came home today and related this little gem to me.
He's working on a construction site on a house of some kind. Wiring the place for lighting and cable and such. Unfortunately, the customer, who apparently has NO background in construction, is trying to dictate the way the site is run. Take this exchange...
SP-Sweetie Pie, my darling future mate and king of the wirestrippers.
DF-Dumb Fish, the SC
DF: Hey! Working pretty hard, huh?
SP: *grunt* (That's verbose for him on the job)
DF: Sooooo, you think you guys'll be done by the end of the month for my party?
SP: Nope.
2 hours later
DF: Hey! How's it coming
SP: *grunt, snort* (A veritable font of conversation and wit, isn't he?)
DF: Soooooo, think you'll be done in time for my party?
And, to put the cream and cherry on this one, apparently the carpenter and someone else stayed on the site to make him feel safer while he was on vacation. Six months later, not so much as a thank you.
