ok at work for bp today, my area boss asked me how i cut my fingers in three diffenet places, on three different fingers, on two different hands....

so i said, "well its part of my hobbie, poi (explaning the best i could what poi was), saying that instead of putting knots in the strings, due to lack of space in teh club i was poi-ing in on sat night, i wrapped the strings around my fingures,(ok i know this was stupid, but hey its worked so far!), so during a really fast weave i got rope burn, on both my index fingures, and then later on my third fingers doin the same thing(cos im thick as a plank!)...." siad i "thats why i have three plasters on my fingers"

area manger"so that wasnt very bright then was it?"

me"no sir(yes i called him sir, respect full as i am, its all about to go out the window!")"

so hes still in teh shop about 15mins later, when a customer tosses me a can of coke to catch, its a guy i know well!, and it lands on my worst urn, and i say, "you silly asre that hurts!" said in a calm jokie way not shouting

and the area boss says"dont talk to customers like that! EVER!"

me"its ok i know him" and the shop was empty!

mate"yeah its cool dont worry"

boss"i dont care, you should never talk to a cust like that!"

mate "its ok its my falut!im sorry"

boss ignores this, and starts to lay intop me about my customerskills, appart form i have called every customer sir, and had a joke with nearly every one, he tells me i am teh worst employee he has ever seen! were as my manager says im one of his best staff, cos i always help him out!

so i ask him if he wishes tyo shout at me can he do it in teh back so the custers dont see it, as it looks bad (ha im one up, for bp face, as itll be better to block me in teh back!)

so once in teh back i tell him to get off his high hourse, get in his posh car and go home or ill put a complaint in to head office for abuse!

to which my manager runs out of his office and tells him in a few more words, to F off, and drop dead!

which made me laugh out loud and cry!

he laft, and called up and apologised to me and gave me a 100pound bonus for unfair treatment!

WHOA YEAH!
