The thing you learned today that you really didn't need to know.

I'll start.

The thing I learned today that I really didn't need to know is, when walking through the house with your earbuds trailing on the floor stepping on them while barefoot has the same exact effect as stepping on a Lego piece.

I learned my 11 year old son knows the term douche bag.

His mom is kind of upset and her seeing me smile just a little bit when presented with this tidbit of information didn't really go over all that well....

There are as many DBs out there short selling stocks, as there are wanting the stock to shoot the moon....a good penny stock with great news, remains level all day with 100M volume (IBIO).

don't EVER use your bare foot to lock the bar on a targa top roof.

I pulled my targa top out of the back of the car. too lazy to reach down and push the bar into the locked position so I pushed it with my bare foot.
needless to say the skin on my big toe got caught in the hinge and basically cut out a chunk of meat.
yea, not too smart on my part.

Some Lab cross puppies, when visiting other homes go crazy trying to "dig" to the bottom of the water bowl. This causes a tidal wave of water to cascade across the kitchen floor. (She doesn't do that at home, I am told )

A healthy liver processes about 1/2 oz of alcohol per hour.

I learned that my newest customer has money for cigarettes, but was eating a small bag of Fritos and drinking a Coke for her dinner when I was there last night. She had just returned from applying for jobs at Goodwill and Dollar General. I wonder if her first payment will go through.

Oh, I saw some of that going down the day before too. But I wasn't involved. I work in the worst ghettos you've ever seen in the US.

Telling a lady that is really mad to "calm down" does not get her calm down at all.

Man, I do not miss those days . I've cleaned up lots of stamp baggies at the rentals, and found more than one crack pipe over the years . And a sawed off shotgun, a burned spoon, gang related stuff etc ...
I think it finally turned for me, when I was cleaning out some drawers, and found medicine for the treatment of HIV.
We have all mostly normal tenants now.
Be careful my friend.
