  • I had a wooden one car garage I wanted gone. Posted it on marketplace, 81 people contacted me about it. About 10 showed up to look at it, said they’d take it, then ghosted me. One woman, a meth head, actually came back to start working on it, and all she had was a hammer, small pry bar, and a small hatchback. She would come late at night and work by cell phone flash light. I told her to stop coming.

    One afternoon, the wife and I went to a movie. As we were leaving, I checked my phone and a guy named Jay inquired and made an additional comment. So, my best friend’s name is Jay, and the profile photo was of two boys in baseball uniforms. And my best friend had two boys in baseball at the time, also my best friend would also find my posted items and ask if they were available and have some additional funny comment. Before my brain had time to analyze the situation, I fired off a quick “yeah it is, come and get it daddy.” and quickly put my phone away. Then I freaked out because the boys in his photo looked nothing like my buddy’s kids, and I looked at the profile and sure as fuck it wasn’t him.

    I panicked. I was going to delete the message, but then realized it probably wouldn’t delete on their end. So I just fessed up and told him how I had made the mistake and I apologized. Guy was very understanding and said he’d be there tomorrow to get the garage.

    He “got into an accident” and couldnt come get it. Never heard from him again.

    The system works like this. You get credit for the overtime you work. The people with the least amount of worked overtime are at the top of the list, and the most are at the bottom.

    When opportunities for overtime are offered, we work down the list starting with the people who have worked the least overtime.

    If we go though the list twice, and the number of people requested to work isn’t fulfilled, whoever is at the top is then forced to work the overtime. And we do that until we have the people.

    In our contract we have it that no one has to work overtime, unless no one else who has worked more overtime than you rejects it.

    Luckily, we’ve had some people fall into some legal trouble, so they grab up all the overtime that others don’t want. But there are two people who have worked zero overtime this fiscal year, and I really want to organize my shop into making them both work some really shitty overtime shift.
