People Are Strange

[Revoltingest]

Today, the mechanic arrived to do the usual on Mr Van & Mr Plow Truck.
Then the welder arrived to work on Mr Nat (New aluminum trailer).
The welder suddenly pulled off the job. Said he won't do it.
He thought there was some conspiracy....a set up by me for something.
Turns out that the welder & mechanic knew each other, & had a dispute
going back a couple years. It also involved the welder's father, who was
also there with the mechanic.
It took some time for me to figure out what was going on. The welder's
father thought his son was acting crazy....& told him to just finish the job.
The mechanic had moved on from the dispute. He stayed, told us what
was up, & finished his work. It also seems that the welder is jealous of
his own father's friendship with the mechanic.

I guess I need a new welder. I have a couple recommendations to check.

So, fellow posters....what dramas have you encountered?

what dramas have you encountered?

Since I wrote off my wife's kin, all my dramas have been here in RF. I've encountered quite a few here. In fact, I'm engaged in one now. But I can't talk about it: (a) violation of forum rules and (b) I'm about to kick the bugger's butt. Maybe later, I'll tell you, ... privately.

Drama....here on RF?
I find that very very hard to believe.
Certainly, I have no ****** ************ telling me that I'm the most
******** *****, that I ************ ***** ***** ***********, & that
I should ******* on my **** ******....or stalking me with threats to
******* ****** ******** ** ***** if I don't ****** **** **********.
(There...that should comport with the rules.)

So many dramas IRL that I might relate later.
This'n was enuf for today.

When i saw the title i though you had done a thread about me... But on further reading its just another story of the human condition.

Today was market day, the first since the lockdown began over 2 months ago. Special measures needed to be put in place to satisfy government requirements. So the mayor turned up early to set up barriers for a one way system around the stalls. One trader was there even earlier to stake his claim to the pitch he wanted. The pitch interfered with the proposed layout to get all the stalls in and meet government requirements.

As I watched the action from the balcony the argument raged with lots of arm waving and shouting. The trader was unwilling to move, the Mayor had to stick to the law.

Deciding the fun would go on for a while i went to make a coffee and returned to settle down for the duration to find the the wine merchant had turned up. He, the mayor and the first trader were enjoying a glass of monbazillac.

After their alcoholic breakfast between the 3 of them they set about shifting the traders stand and laying out the barricades as though the argument had never happend.

I am so glad that we live in a quiet, peaceful village

Dang beat me to it. Now I'm going to be singing that all the rest of the day.

Because I'm strange.

Strangely enough, I was just thinking of that very same song when I read this thread's title "People are Strange"

One of my all time favorite quotes is by Robert Heinlein, because his quote is so true regarding " an armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life."

Don't worry. I won't be making stew of you if you precede me to the afterlife.

In the middle of a political "discussion" with my father-in-law many years ago, he asked if I were a communist. I said, without skipping a beat: "no, I'm an anarchist". That ended the conversation.

 

[Emsy]

Seriously. That's gonna be in my head all day now.

It seems that I don't remember much of that book.
