Hi dudes,

As some of you know I work in a recycling centre here in the UK...this is some of the stupidity I have to deal with every day!

1) Does grass go into the green waste bin? It's a bin full of grass, leaves and hedge trimmings!)

2) Do you work here? (I wear bright fucking orange!)

3) Where do I put this iron bar (said customer was standing next to the metal bin!)

4) Is it ok to put this settee in the cardboard container?

5) Can I put these cans into the bottle bank?

6) Do you class this as an electrical item? ( holding a toaster in front of me)

7) Are you sure I can put shredded paper into the paper bank?

8 What time do you close? (I'm locking up at the time!)

9) How do I know where to put stuff? (every bin is clearly signed with pictures for the illiterate)

10) Is it ok to put a hair dryer into the clothing bank?

I have lost all faith in humanity since working here.... :o

Peace dudes.

Dude, sounds like a laugh a minute. Can you do a J before your shift?

The company I work for have a very strict no drugs policy...can't even do a J after work cos we have random drugs and alcohol tests!

Oat sodas all the way while I'm employed here...and even then not on a work evening! :(

Put all of those stupid questions on a BINGO card [I'm not sure if you have BINGO in the UK, but I'll assume that you do].  Mark off each dumb question as you are asked it.  If you score a bingo by the end of your shift, treat yourself to something cheap, like a fancy coffee or a candy bar.  I used to do this, and it made me long for more dumb questions.

We even have electricity and day time television in some parts of the UK (as in all of it).  ;D

wasn't sure if you embraced the exact same fundraiser games as we do, after all, there is that great baseball/ cricket divide... ;)

And the "Soccer" vs "Football" divide.

I personally favour the left back in bar approach to most sport.

In fact I don't really do much with running around anyway.

I used to play, as quarterback, but I smoked too much pot so I switched to 
left back. Best place for me, I could never play Nickelback. 8)

Yep (ah translation for American Dudes bar as in pub, social drinking establishment, as in "of course it's safe to leave him with all that alcohol, no-one could drink that much by themselves.")

Dear gods do we have it!  It's been a national phenomenon for decades, massive halls dotted across the land, a daytime haven for Grannies, and nowadays a nighttime haven for young middle-aged women who either have no hobbies or are looking for a loud and drunken night out where there's a small chance you might win your money back :P

***

Ceaser, you're a good man for putting up with morons like that.  Working in some sort of front-line customer service job (as Meekon also has) I know how depressing it can be for the state of humanity.  However, once you understand that most people are like this, and they all have a right to vote, the world (and its horrific state) makes perfect sense.  Coincidentally, this brings me back to bingo.... :P

Or you could write them down in a kind of poster and stick it where you work and once someone asks a stupid question you send him/her to read the poster.  At least you can save your voice. 8)
Yeah well, that's just, ya know, like, your opinion, man.
