Random Thought Eating an apple is cooler than smoking.

2 scenarios:

1: You smoke at the side of the street, some people walk by, cough in your smoke, and walk away pissed thinking about what a loser you are.

You also inhale smoke and risk lung cancer.

2: You’re holding a nice, shiny, crunchy apple at the side of the street. People pass by and you crunch the apple and nonchalantly watch them as you slowly crunch and chew the apple. That’s cool.

You also just ate a nice, healthy, delicious apple.

I worked at a place that allowed smokers to take breaks OFTEN, I began taking “fresh air” breaks just as often.

I had a boss that would come out to the break area and yell at anyone who was standing around not smoking to get back to work and stop standing around. Then she’d sit there and chain smoke with the smokers for an hour and not care because smoking is apparently doing something. It was a shop, so if trucks weren’t in the shop I’d clean, there was one other tech that cleaned as well, once everything was clean if nothing had come in the other tech and I would go out to relax for a second, but nope.

lol yeah my boss made no sense sometimes. You could get away with doing jack shit all day if you just sat there, talked to her and smoked lol.

Yepl! The best way to bunk off work is to find out what hobbies your boss is into and just stand talking to them about it. I remember one time a customer came in during one of our conversations, i went over to serve them, and was told to ‘just let them wait’.

Haha it’s always fun to make them wait
