What's new

Hack's Courthouse

One of my earliest jobs while I was in college was as a "manager" of a tiny copy shop. The owner was a douche who repaired copy machines for a living and tried to manage everything by remote control. When my first child was born I asked for 2 weeks off to spend time with my wife and the baby, which he allowed (sans pay of course). A friend of mine covered for me during the 2 weeks. While I was out, my friend had a problem completing a job and called me for help. I told him over the phone what to do, and that he should call the owner if he had more problems as I was supposed to be off. He did just that and finally got the job done, but had to do it 3 times to get it right. Later, several months later actually, the owner came in on a Saturday and berated me for screwing up that job that happened while I was off with my new child, stating he was going to dock my pay to pay for the botched job. I told him that I wasn't there at the time, and that it had nothing to do with me. He said I needed to stop making excuses and accept responsibility. So I told him to cram it up his *** and that I quit. I then walked out and never went back.

My question. Should I have said cram it up your ****ing *** and maybe knocked **** off tables and stuff as I left, or was cram it up your *** and quietly walking out just fine in the circumstance?
 
awesome story. I remember being so scared of all the poly kids in kearns growing up. Did you go to Kearns high? My whole family went there, but I went to Copper Hills because my family moved to West Jordan.

Ya I went to kearns high
 
I let a big tongan dude borrow my Walkman once when I was high school age and then when I asked for it back at the end of the day he didn't want to give it back to me.
I pressed him about it and then he smashed it on the ground in front of me.

I was definitely didn't want to fight him but I didn't want to get punked like a bitch either so I loaded up with a monster right hook that landed to perfection spinning him around....... My hand hurt like hell from the punch and then the tongan dude turned back around and I realized that my punch barely fazed him.

He took me down and proceeded to ground and pound the **** outta me until the fight was broken up (thank god)

Should I have just cut my losses and allowed him to get away with breaking my Walkman and makin me look like a bitch (since I ended up lookin like a bitch anyway as he whooped my ***) and saved myself some pain......... or did I do the right thing by defending my pride/honor?
Or maybe I should have kicked him in the nutz.

(by the way, it was a discman not a cassette tape Walkman if that makes any difference)

My guess is no one messed with you after this incident. If I'm right, no need for Hack - there's your answer.

Thanks for filling in Substitute Judge Candrew.

I concur with Candrew's ruling.

Stand up for yourself so you are not a bitch.

You did the right thing.

Destruction of someones property carries enough fines and punishment as it is. It could have escalated into a physical altercation. Increasing the likely hood of having Felony charged against you. Which would have had tremendous consequences on the rest of your life.

Lesson is... If you beat up somebody on their property it can carry stiffer penalties than say on a neutral ground.
