sub way
went to get a sub in subway about a year ago.
Woman kept looking at her hand.
I realized that she cut her hand with the knife while splitting the bread, and kept using the knife, and handling the sub.
She didn't speak english, but the other employee told me not to worry, she was OK, and it's a small cut. I pointed out that she cut herself with the knife that she is making my food with. She insisted that wasn't, even though blood was through the glove.
And yes, I walked out, and never went back.

So was it a house that you knew who wired it? Or was it just you being nosy and checking out what some random stranger electrician did?

The latter. I have checked out numerous houses and commercial buildings. I consider this part of my education.

My bowels are usually scheduled for about 7:30 AM... right before I head out the door for work. But a couple years ago we were working about an hour away so I had to get up earlier. When I woke up I wasn't ready to "go" yet. So every morning, invariably, just as soon as we were driving through the boonies, I would have to go. RIGHT THEN.
Taking an emergency dump is really difficult when you have to find a place to pull over and then hurriedly unfastening your coveralls and jeans and all that. Why is that when you're having an emergency the zippers and buttons and stuff always seem to get jammed up??
And there's not many things more nerve-racking than squatting in the woods at 6:30 AM on a dark winter morning knowing there's mountain lions and bears out there.

It's called trespassing in my neck of the woods....

And steelersman is enjoying this! I have done many of the things that he speaks of though I wouldn't admit it, or did I just.....

I have learned there is always a place to lay a deuce. If there isn't woods, there's bushes. The bushes between a parking lot and building are often tall enough, and if not, well too damn bad. There's alot of things I'll do, but one thing I won't do is crap my pants. If I have to rip one out on the corner of a busy intersection while holding a stop sign for support, well that's what it's gonna be. I ain't soiling my knickers.
I had to let one fly so bad once, and all the stalls at the gas station were full, I ended up behind the place between a couple of A/C condensers...

I've had that happen also, but I ended up just leaning against the building.
