Wifey signed up for a free/discounted grocery delivery service. Ok… no problem, we’re usually busy with working…kids…grandkids etc.

First delivery this afternoon. I left the garage door open because garage fridge is right there, kitchen fridge is steps inside garage to house door AND we keep our cases/jugs of water there AND the delivery person can pull right up and drop it off in 5 steps or less.

Seen the young girl dropping groceries at front door… in front of the door so the storm door can’t open… there’s one.

I go to meet her just as she’s carrying two cases of water up the walk to the front door. I explained she could drop them right inside the garage door which is literally one fourth or fifth the distance… she smiles politely and say’s sorry no speak English… and drops the cases of water at front door… there’s two.

I pick them up and walk past her as she’s heading back to her trunk to get more… I drop them in garage steps from her as she starts carrying more cases/jugs of water to the front door… there’s three.

I carry them back by her to the garage and start getting groceries and carrying them past her car to the garage and she’s steadily carrying them from her trunk to the front door.

You just can’t make that up… I just had to chuckle.

She was probably making more money in the safest environment of her whole life… she was hustling too.

So I had to take my State test for dwelling contractor. Gotta take it every two years. Now fifty percent of the questions aren’t even about codes. 360 questions. 12 hour test. Half are about legal crap and contracts. Does and donts. Last 50 questions were about prohibited practices for water proofing basements. All about things you’re not allowed to advertise or say or have in contracts. A lot of really dumb stuff. Must be a lot of guys scamming folks with basement waterproofing. And a lot of dumb homeowners. Also got 341 out of 360. The ones I got wrong were a play on words like on true or false using the word can or May instead of shall. I’m like does the state wanna know how good my grammar is or so they wanna know if I get the concept.

@John do they make you or your dad do this crap also.

Just ran into something at my job we document everything seeing as our product goes into people. I asked an employee to open oven that we put failed lots into to heat and kill all things harmful. Now they have to be in oven for 12.5 hours. The employees that starts the lot writes on paperwork time they started and time it can be opened. This lot could end opened at 1910. Now if you open it at 1909 it’s not going to probably be a problem just wrote 1910 is when you opened it. This guy put down 1909. He just documented himself doing the job wrong. Be fun when they go and see that in the qc office
