I may get fired for a stupid reason...
A comedy conversation

I helped a customer the other day. I did NOT give her any kind of deal or anything like that. I simply invoiced a bunch of clearance cabinets for her and picked them off the shelves.
She was very grateful and she owns a Chinese restaurant. She told me to come in for dinner, but I didn't go because I don't live that close to my work and prefer to just go home after work. I didn't think much of it.
Today, she brought in a bunch of food for me. It was in a bag on my desk and smelled delicious. It was time for my lunch break so I took the bag of food to my car, and ate some of it. I have a cooler in my car so I put the leftovers in the cooler.
I was told by someone at work that I could be fired for accepting the food. The last time she brought in food (she does it all the time--probably thinks it's good for business) they made the guy she gave it to put it in the break room and he didn't even get to eat any of it, because the pigs who hang out in there all the time ate it.
Frost that. I only have $10 until pay-day and that food is gonna feed me the rest of the week.
I've had other customers bring me food--donuts, cookies, etc. But not a huge meal like this. Once, a customer left me a card with money in it. I wasn't there when she left it, and my girlfriends were around when I opened the card and saw the $30 and decided we should use it to go out drinking that night. I definitely could have been fired for that.
So, if I get fired, it will be for a stupid reason, but whatever.

I used to work at Lowe's in Texas so I know this for sure:
You can't get fired for accepting gifts. You can only get fired if you accept gifts in exchange for doing something against company policy, which you did not do. I used to invioce tons of clearance stuff for a few customers who were regular customers that brought lots of business to the store. You didn't override the price and give special discounts? They legally cannot fire you if you didn't break any rules. It's in your employee handbook.

Frost 'em. You can't get fired for someone bringing in food for you. If it's on your desk, it's yours. If she brought it in after you'd helped her, it's a thank you, not a bribe. Anyone who says different can go suck an eggroll.
Besides, you're the one with the sexual harassment ammo.

Simple solution: eat the evidence. If a co-worker saw you take the food out to your car, eat them too.
All you need is a few witnesses and you won't have to buy food for months.

I don't have an ammo yet. I will probably be the one who gets in trouble for sexual harassment because I'm always making gross comments.
The other day, someone was complaining that one of our managers was always in a bad mood and needed to get laid. I said if people took up a collection and they got enough money, I'd do it. I figured $30,000 would be enough. Yes, I know that means I'm a prostitute, but so what?
Then someone wondered if he'd have sex with me. Please. He'd jump at the chance.

As far as the $30,000 goes, I just wonder if I can keep my Ford Focus running for another three years and also somehow convince my wife that it isn't my old Ford Focus but is, in fact, a brand new Volkswagen GTI.

If someone's spouse or partner brings them lunch, you should throw a fit and protest that they must put it in the break room to share. You can't help it that your lover is an old Chinese lady (I assume). So what if ya'll never had sex before. Who are they to define your relationships? Maybe ya'll are just taking it slow. That's just more ammo for the sexual harassment suit right there.

Take a day off of work. In the morning, make a batch of cookies. In the afternon, come to the store as a customer. When you see your boss, offer him some cookies. As soon as he starts eating them, tell him, "If I'm going down, you're going down with me."

The solution is simple, get fired for a better reason instead.
Take a crap in the boss' coffee
Pee on a customer
Masturbate at the check out counter, use the scanner gun.
Sodomize a coworker with a rake.
You'll still get fired but at least it won't be for a stupid reason.

Oh please, that wouldn't get her fired, that would increase the foot traffic to the store by 5 fold. Once the manager sees the crowd it will be HR damned. Inside 5 minutes he would be begging you to frigg off in the lingerie department once a week.
Thats when you hit him with the Sexual Harassment charge.

Of course they can. ME is an at-will employment state just like every other state, and it doesn't have an implied contract exception (note that TX does).

err, wait, I think I have that backwards. ME does have an exception, and TX does not. If their handbook does say something about not firing her except for cause (which I have no idea about), then she could conceivably win a wrongful termination / breach of contract suit. Even then, though, implied contract claims are difficult to prove.

I would just say she is a good friend of yours and she brought you lunch so you wouldn't have to waste your precious 30 minutes driving to the place, waiting on the food, then driving back, only to have 3 minutes to eat it before having to come back to work.

I have a cooler in my car because I am an alcholic and my booze of choice is cold beer. I need to go out to my car about every half hour to drink a beer. Do you think I could get fired for that?
Actually, I have a cooler in my car because I usually bring my lunch and I hate the break room with a passion. I sit in my car at lunch and would prefer to not leave my food in the refrigerator there. Not to mention someone steals peoples' lunches.
The reason I hate the break room is that I like to sit and read by myself and prefer not to listen to stupid-ass conversations on my own time. If it's on the clock--no problem.
Dinesh is right, Maine is an at-will state and one's employer does not need a reason to fire someone. They'd be smarter to just fire me because they "don't need" me anymore than state a reason, though. Because if they tried to fire me for accepting some food, I would try to fight it in court. My twin brother is a lawyer who is pretty smart and would do it just for the fun of it.
The lady who gave me food is probably about my age and is pretty, so if I said I was having a relationship with her, who is going to say it's not believable?
Also, the time I got the money from a customer was at Home Depot, so I can't get fired for that anymore.

So, she brought me another bunch of food Friday. I didn't have my cooler in my car, so I brought it to the break room to share. A manager was in there (a real by-the-book type) and he started giving me Shakespeare for taking the food.
I told him she was my lover and what was wrong with her bringing me lunch? He got pissed off but had no rebuttal. Everyone in the break room was happy to get free food and pigged out, even the guy who claimed that she was cooking seagulls and cats. Most of us agreed we didn't give a Shakespeare what animal the meat came from if it tasted good.
So, now I've told everyone in the store that she's my girl.

I don't remember Millie ever saying she's a whore, actually it's quite the opposite, her schtick is telling everyone she's too good for them. Isn't irony funny.

I figured $30,000 would be enough. Yes, I know that means I'm a prostitute, but so what?
Look up, please.
She's still retaining the undeserved sense of self worth though. She'll probably be alright, since this is the internet and she won't lose any of her little yes-men because they don't really have get to meet her.

Alarm Dick, I don't give a Shakespeare what comes out of your pie hole in regards to Millie, because she's perfectly able to hold her own in a mouth off. That happens to be one of the things a lot of us love about her.
But this:
She's still retaining the undeserved sense of self worth though. She'll probably be alright, since this is the internet and she won't lose any of her little yes-men because they don't really have get to meet her.
Do not presume to have any understanding of why a lot of the men (and women!) on this board would say YES, GOD YES to Millie.
What has historically been most revered on this board is Bringing the Funny. Millie has always brought the funny. Always. And the times that she has been serious, she brought that most excellently too.
Then there are those of us who have been the recipients of her various creative abilities. Not to mention her generosity.
Last, there are those of us who have met her. My girl crush is cemented.
In summary: Dislike Millie all you want, but be very aware that there are many people who DO like her and have very good reason to. So quit being a butt munch and BRING THE Frost-ing FUNNY*!
*hint, racials slurs aren't Frost-ing funny

You don't presume that I presume to have an understanding. I never even hinted that I did. I stated that she had a bunch of little yes-men (women is implied), and you really... well, you helped prove my point. I am, in fact, quit puzzled why anyone would say yes to her.
Racial slurs are funny. Extremely funny. Have you ever been to a comedy show with... hold your breath... real live black people? Everything can be funny if you pull the anti-humor stick out your ass. I'm sorry if it's such a terrifying issue with ya'll, but I'm not going to waste my time not being able to laugh at something because I have hate issues. Quit trying to funny-block all the racial slurs so that some of us can enjoy them like God intended.
Lastly, I never said I disliked her. I never said I disliked anyone, not even coloreds, chinks, honkies, wiggers, beaners, fags, canucks, eskimos, Draculas, or spiders. I think it's better if all roles are filled, even the bitter, scorned ones. Millie started the hate talk, and none of you on here, but one, come even close to being able to inspire that strong of an emotion from me.
It's all a big dance, sugar. Batman would be pretty lame without criminals. I like you. I like Millie. (Bill knows I love him.)
Learn to laugh at yourselves.
My response to you is NO.

Shakespearehead, I wasn't trying to "funny-block" your unfunny crap. I just told you to keep it out of my thread.
(I thought this board had some kind of guideline about racism, but I guess I was wrong.)
I don't have any control over who defends me, but if I really gave a Shakespeare about what anyone here thinks, I guess I could just jump on the racism/misogyny bandwagon so all you cretins would accept me. Unlike you, I accept that fact that not everyone (especially idiots) gets my sense of humor. I stay out of the threads with that sophomoric, uncreative, stale "humor", so please stay out of mine.
And, for the record, I could be the skankiest, disease-ridden $2 streetwalker and still be too good for most of you. It's not about me--it's about you.

I'd be happy to laugh at myself if I thought that what was being said was funny. I suppose I should have just ignored you, but it seemed pretty arrogant to both dismiss Millie's ability to be likeable AND insult the intelligence of anyone that does like her. (by definition, calling people yes-men is insulting their intelligence) And now you've judged me again by claiming that I have an anti-humor stick up my ass.
Okay, I'll try to laugh at that: I did once have an anti-humor stick up my ass and it was really uncomfortable. There was a pantheon of funny out there that made me want to giggle, but I felt forbidden. So I finally pulled it out and have felt such relief since.
This is my thinking about racial slurs: it really has a lot to do with the context and the intent of the person. Racial slurs have been made on this board in a way that was funny, but only because they were said ironically or intending to be shock humor. Usually you can tell when it is one of those things or if (for example) the person throws around the word Ogden Nash because they really do think black people are beneath them. Intent is hard to gauge in this type of forum, making such jokes hard to pull off, so I advised against it.
You know what, Frost it. I won't tell you what to do or rant anymore. It's pointless. I'm already sad because you said some things (in another thread) that left a bad taste in my mouth, and then Millie called you on it in this thread and then there was teh dramaz and I made the mistake of joining in. And I hate being sad when I want to be laughing.

Or you could think about keeping your hate on a shelf when you want to post here.

I don't hate anyone. I never claimed to, that was others. That's not me in the mirror. I'm about as racist as the United Negro College Fund or Indian grace laws, but this isn't even about racism. I'll admit I did Frost up though. I should have never tried to use reasoning and logic to explain something to women.
Unlike you, I accept that fact that not everyone (especially idiots) gets my sense of humor. I stay out of the threads with that sophomoric, uncreative, stale "humor", so please stay out of mine.
Your threads aren't sophomoric, uncreative and stale. That implies petty name calling. (I am quite partial to Shakespearehead though.) They're funny. I enjoy the content in them. If I didn't accept the fact that some don't think I'm funny, then why would I keep posting after so many posts with no clickies? If you want to run the bitch shtick so much, don't be surprised when someone returns with the arrogant Emerson shtick. Also, I didn't know the threads you started were exclusive or invitation only, so calm down and don't be such a spoiled crybaby about it.
jump on the... bandwagon... Okay, you got me. I didn't invent racist humor. Damn. Oh, by the way, great idea about claiming the food lady was your lover! Wherever did you get that idea from ?
Seriously...
I do sincerely apologize if I made you sad Straw. It was not and is never my intent. I only meant it in a joking way (hence I go to a comedy site) and I'm sorry if you didn't get my sense of humor. Not everyone gets it, and I am sorry. I never intended to offend anyone. I'm not a mean person and I'm equal to all people. I liked your sarcastic attempt at laughing at the stick up your butt thing. It made me smile.

I also find you calling me a crybaby interesting and ironic, since you're the one writing paragraphs defending your douchebagness and accusing everyone who stepped up to defend me as being yes-men, instead of facing the fact that they just think you're being an Emerson and are expressing that opinion.
There have been many people here who don't like me and don't think I'm funny. Whatever. I didn't say anything about that, I was telling you I don't want to see racist Shakespeare, and if me calling someone on what they are, based on what they write, is me being a bitch, too bad.
I could throw your advice back at you. If you are going to play the role of racist here, don't get all defensive when someone calls you one. And now that you made that derogatory remark about women, I'm adding the sexist label to you as well. Don't like it? Too bad.
Anyone can post in my threads. But who said I'm supposed to let a racist comment go by without comment?
As for the bandwagon, I was talking about the increasingly stupid, racist, sexist crap that I've been reading here. I only comment on Shakespeare when it's smelling up a thread I started.

A reminder of how awesome Millie truly is, and how pale white our walls are because we're not allowed to paint them.

I know it might be a strain on you, but if you're going to try to argue, at least make some kind of effort to pay attention.
I guess some of you need the "pun intended" remarks and quick easy references to spell things out for you. (That's reference to something else missed. Don't hurt yourselves.)
I was never offended for being called racist, and being called sexist isn't going to offend me either. You started bitching about racist jokes, and I started bitching about your lack of sense of humor about them. Perfectly fair. I'm sure you do make excellent cookies and crafts. As a generalization, women are better at that kind of thing. Oops, there I go again.
I called you a crybaby, because you started all the whining. I'm not the only one writing paragraphs. Everything complaining I've said has been in response to your initial whining. You're the one who's throwing a hissy fit because someone posted something you didn't like. I've just been explaining myself because there seems to be so much trouble understanding me. I stated I was being an Emerson, so why would you assume I can't accept the fact that people think that about me?
This is still humorous to me, whether any of you get it or not. If you want to be so picky, I didn't find the rule about not posting racist crap, but there is a suggestion about being funny, and not focusing on being mean. It doesn't bother me, but all your name calling is going to make race-less inside-out baby cry.

She said "most". Did you see that? That's because if she was a skanky, disease-ridden $2 streetwalker, she'd be just right for me and she knows it!
Okay, funny aside for a minute. I used to occasionally post what some might consider racist humor. I did it for shock value, or in an ironic sense, and not because I think that any race is in any way beneath mine. Hell, I didn't really know for sure until I was 34 years old what race I was. Yes, I appeared caucasian, but I was good at math and I had rhythm.
In any case, I'm declaring a personal moratorium on racist humor, only because I think there are now too many people here who don't understand context or irony, or who might just appreciate racist humor because they are racists.
Okay.

It might also be that some think they can't be hit by shock value and see racist humor as only offensive because they believe they are immune to being shocked. It still carries shock value if folks fall for it. I come from a very diverse family but didn't want to mention that, to let people assume what they may about me. It's the same as dead baby jokes people. Some people get offended by those too. I'm sorry for crapping up this thread, I will stop and let it die, unless intentionally provoked with good measure, i.e. something wittier than Thud's remarks.
