I used to work at a major retail optical establishment. We had what the company liked to call "The Gift Of Sight" program. We donated eye exams and glasses to less fortunate people. I think this is a great and rewarding program, except most of the adults that qualified for this program were complete PWT (poor white trash) or joe dirt-ay if you please. I had helped this one stinky nasty drunken bum with his glasses, and everyday he would come in with them bent up one way or another just so he could come in and see me. At first I accomodated him because I figured he probably wouldn't remember in the morning anyway until one day. . . I went to the lab to fix his glasses-again-and when I came back out to return them to him he told me it must be really cold back there because he couldn't see past my headlights!
At first I was thinking "oh hell no you did not just go there!" Then he said it again! I didn't know whether to laugh at his open idiocy or yell at him for the complete innapropriateness of the whole thing. Thankfully my manager heard the whole thing and kicked him out for good. I much prefer suitors who don't smell like stale cigarettes, cheap beer, and who also have more than two teeth.
