Luckily they didn’t have music playing. I couldn’t care less about nascar, but it was neat to have full private access to the driving simulators.

If they only played country music.....I think I found a picture of what my perfect hell would look like

even though I dislike neckcar as much as anyone post #3...I'd wager youd actually have a good time there. The early displays would tickle your car guy bone.

This. My wife knows next to nothing about racing and isn't even a car person and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I dont know where to put this so...here it goes.

I recently hired a new employee he is...60 something....knows it all seen it all. Didn't love him in the interview process but didnt hate him and I was desperate for help.

He's on a job with a crew that was abandoned when one of our top foremen had a health issue and will be sidelined for an extended period. To a man everyone on the crew has reached out and politely said...this dude is lazy and doesnt know wtf he is doing. Ive coached them to give it time and let him get settled in.

Tonight, his wife called me at 8pm to tell me it wast fair for me to hire a man and then let my "kids" bully him. She told me how smart her husband was, how hard working he was and how intelligent he was.
I repeat THIS 60 year ld man's WIFE called his boss and said to tell the guys to stop picking on him.

I would have politely told her that it won't happen again as he is now unemployed

60 plus year old man who has a wife making calls like that is a red flag for sure, but I'm not sure who's in worse shape. You as an employer or him with that kind of relationship at that age?

After that inspection...outcome is likely.

It sounds to me like the problem here is the wife. Betcha thats why he's lazy and doesn't learn - she's overbearing and just does everything for him.
Not that this aknowledgement helps @Ron any, dude is already broken.

shes still not as bad as a guy i saw at a tire shop.... he had to be on facetime with his wife.... all day long.

We have those. It's a very specific type too. I mainly see it at the grocery stores, but it's anywhere really. Big backed, urban lady in slides with a pronounced "waddle" that has to be on facetime with her gurl.... phone volume at "damn girl, you DEAF?!?!?!" You can hear both her and her conversation partner 3 aisles over.
I took the opportunity recently to tell this one lady, that "I wouldn't take that kinda treatment from him if I were you" as I passed her. She seemed rather shocked that I would involve myself with her VERY public discussion of her 4th baby daddy's action, but by that time I was fully invested and I TOO wanted a DNA test of Jaquan myself!

Did he mount his phone to the tire machine, so she could see his bay all day?

People who cross the street but aren't in the crosswalk should be fair game.

Also, we should be allowed to P.I.T. people who are driving while FaceTiming

Disagree. Crosswalks should be moved several car lengths back from the intersection instead of at the highest point of confusion and congestion. Then anyone who crosses at the intersection is fair game. :D

Also, we should be allowed to PIT anyone at any time in which I deem they deserve it.
