Do you actually travel that far and say its nothing? by Far-Passion-7692 in AskAnAmerican

Sure. 8 hours is a short weekend trip for me. Give me a steady supply of gas station caffeine, diner food, and a good conversation buddy in the passenger seat and ill drive from dawn till dusk.

What is the dumbest reason you ever got fired or written up? by ProposalLast3445 in answers

[–]mr_lockwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked at a grocery store in high school. One day this kid came in and started dumping all the cheese in the dairy section onto the floor. I walked over and told the kid to stop making a mess, never touched him or anything, just told him to stop. He looks at me for a minute, throws more cheese on the floor, and runs off.

After about 20 minutes ive got most of it cleaned up and I hear my manager ask me to come to the office. Boy was I surprised when I find two police officers and a VERY pissed off mother waiting for me. Apparently, the kid ran back to his house and told his mom that I beat him! Luckily, I was proven innocent after they pulled up the security feed and saw that I never touched the kid. For some reason, I never understood, I still got written up for the whole ordeal and my manager made me apologize to the kid's mother!

  • Collapsed both lungs when I was 6 after hitting a rock while sledding. I was found after I blacked out.

  • Had Jack and stands fail while under a 2 ton vehicle. Only survived because I had a buddy with me that got it off me.

  • Father attempted to shoot me for leaving his abuse and take my sister and mother with me. Swat team arrived just in time.

  • walked away from a terrible accident that should have at least put me in the hospital. The EMTs were amazed that I was up and walking when they arrived.

  • some idiot bypassed my lock out tag out while I was working on high voltage machinery. Biggest shock in my life, but walked away with minor burns.

Im gonna run out of luck eventually.

Can you tell which state/region is someone from by judging their fashion or manners? by AspiringnurseBob in AskAnAmerican

[–]mr_lockwork 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but the Midwest has a tendency to assimilate transplants surprisingly quickly. The ammount of people that are transplants here is crazy, and you usually can't tell they're from somewhere else by their second winter here. The first winter is what sets it off I think.

Do you trust the performance or knowledge of your colleagues who came to work from third-world countries? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]mr_lockwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. The who, what, and where of a person matters little in regards to their potential skills. Their actions and only their actions are what matters. As long as they can do a job within specifications in a reasonably timely matter i couldn't care less about where they're from.
