Ive got an apprentice from Ireland working with me. the young man talks real fast and with that accent and the only words I understand is when he cusses. He does that often because I call him a bloody englishman and he goes off. We were in my company van and i made a right turn and clipped a car on my blindside. We pulled to side of road and I was exchanging ins info with the other driver who was really upset as the car was his girlfriends and he had just picked it up from a body shop. Seems he had wrecked it and she made him get it fixed. I had the guy calmed down when the Irishman started cussing him and telling him in Doublin a plumbing van has right of way. Things were esculating fast, so I gave the Irishman (I call him Lucky Charms) a couple bucks and sent him to a nearby 7-11 to buy me a pen- telling him mine ran out of ink, while I calmed the other driver back down. Lucky Charms came back with the pen and got a business card out of his wallet, gave it to the other guy, and told him it was for his buddys body shop and since he obviously didnt know how to drive he shouldnt loose it. Life is never boring.
