AWPC

While not actually at work, my Saturday class consists entirely of coworkers. Today one of them said what qualifies as one of the dumbest statements ever uttered in my presence. A guy was whining about how all of the other maintenance guys pick on him and prank him relentlessly.

He is the only maintenance guy that I will openly disparage. He sucks, everyone knows he sucks, but his mom is the VP. The guy is 30, married, and has two kids, yet his mom bought him a tool chest, tools, and he even carries his mom's gas card. So since nobody in a position to do so has the balls to can his worthless ass, everybody pranks him. It's a coping mechanism. While lamenting this situation he said:

Now I know what it must have felt like to be black back in the 40's and 50's.

At which point everybody started piping in with all the reasons he was so very, very wrong!

Damn. It must really suck to be so privileged that everybody resents the way you always seem to fail upwards.
