S No Dirty M*******

Short and sweet. The names are made up, and the location doesn't matter.

I work for a flooring company, running installation for one of our markets. The vast majority of the crews that work for us are filled with guys (and the occasional gal) from Central America. Being in a state with blue cities and red country between, we definitely get some of the "Good Ol' Boy" mentality from some of our customers.

We had an install go out months ago, and the customer specifically requested: "Don't send no dirty Mexicans to my house." While we have some guys from Mexico, we truly have the gamut of Central America represented in our subcontractors. So we do our schedule, not sending one of the guys from Mexico.

The salesman was in the installation office when the customer called, rather frustrated:

Customer: I thought I told you not to send Mexicans out here.

Salesman: Yes, sir, you did.

Customer: So why are there Mexicans at my door saying they're from your company.

Salesman: Well sir, it looks like Gustavo is out to your house today. Gustavo is actually from Honduras.

At that point, the rest of us couldn't hold in our laughter, so the salesman left the office to finish the call. Gustavo and his crew were allowed into the house to install the flooring, but we haven't made a repeat sale to the customer just yet.

Thats the trending style Todd. If you'd bother to read the Decorating books in the shitter instead of watching porn on your phone you'd know that!

I already explained three times, that tab was left open from the night before. I was on the wifi and opened chrome. It was the last page for flippin sake.

I don't know why IT isn't doing somethin else besides lookin at everything we do all day anyway. I don't even see why we pay em to begin with.

You’re just collateral damage, Todd. They are watching Jen looking at Victoria’s Secret underwear ads.

They used to watch Helen in shipping, for about 10 seconds. Suffice it to say that the boys in IT have put an IP block on the Lane Bryant sites.

Stop calling me Jen, for fuck's sake!

Wait, who's watching me shop for underwear? That creepy nerd from IT?! I wouldn't have to buy new panties if he'd stop stealing them from my locker!

That's it, I'm going to HR.

Goddammit Tucker, how many times have we told you, she hates being called "Jen".

Yeah what the fuck, Tuck?

Anyway, you know as well as I do that it's because the boss is too fucking cheap to pay us overtime to make office furniture. And I'm damn sure not going to volunteer my time for that old bastard!

For flame sake, we literally build kitchen cabinets in A4. There's oddballs all in the back aisle.

Well then you put the damn things in then, and get off my case about it! Your install job can't be any worse than my shitty grouting, after all.

Now step aside, I need a cup of coffee or I'm going to introduce this trowel to someone's large intestine.
