As a cable guy I visited several thousand homes, all ages and incomes, got pretty good at judging people’s lifestyle at an inside glance.
Went to install internet at this guy’s new apartment, IRS agent. My god the room was sterile, also, “Shit. New place. This poor guy is going through a divorce.” And he was.
He was utterly boring, middle-aged white guy, button down shirt, didn’t have jack to say until his modem came online.
“Really? It’s good to go?”
“Yep. All good.”
“Hang on, hang on…”
Dude fired up Unreal Tournament, hopped in a quick game to test ping, “YES! YES! Thank you thank you thank you!”
Now that I wrote all that out, I have a guess what the divorce was about.
didn’t have jack to say until his modem came online.
So you want people to talk to you when you are on the job? I never talk to repair man etc. when they come to my house. I just let them do their work and leave them alone. Doesn’t mean I’m boring or antisocial.
How about we say unusually withdrawn? Anyway, visit a couple of thousand homes, you get a feel.
my impression is that the customer didn’t even greet the technician when they arrived
Same, I feel like if I talk to them it may break their focus, and they are usually paid by the job, not the hours, so less time in my house more money in their pockets.
I being an introvert technician appreciate you both, I just wanna get as much done as I possibly can
“Dude fired up Unreal Tournament” Holy shit. That was an unexpected intense wave of nostalgia. Are people still playing UT?
In 2002 or so they were! :)
I miss 2002 so much right now. Goes back to doom scrolling politics and the economy
Fulfilled with free hot dogs he means.
austism
This is the plan of the elites: ONLY ELITES or PEASANTS… and the peasants have to say they’ve never felt better in their lives.
Y’know what? Fuck yeah good for him.
He’s never once had so many people to talk about them Mets with
He’s working more than Congress.
Okay, Grandpa.
He’s doing more work than he ever did as an IRS lawyer. I hope he stays with it.
It reminds me of the IRS guy from the Happy Gilmore sequel. “I became a lawyer because I was tired of people hating me and throwing me through glass doors” (flashback to when Happy Gilmore threw him through a door in the first film).
Flood him with business. Make his stand more profitable than working for the IRS. He quits. One less IRS lawyer.
I happened across this video yesterday about this entrepreneur. Seems like a good hearted person.
Shyster menu options include:
- $10 - the only choice and drink, mustard and sauerkraut
- $11 - hot dog with the wrong toppings and drink, four toppings a la carte
- $1 dog treats
- $1,000 shirt off my back
Some choice text from the display boards:
- “The Only Honest Ripoff in DC”
- All prices include tax, and there is no tip screen. I hate that garbage.
- Want a hot dog with no drink? You aren’t saving money.
- Briefly recite the historical significance of MoonPies and/or RC Cola for a five cent discount on your whole order.
If I were local, I’d be buying some dogs.
He should try it while wearing normal clothes, that’ll take his freedom to another level 😉
hes wearing gloves too.
“One hotdog, please!”
“Fill out these forms where I put the fun stickers and get a witness to sign.”
“What if I don’t want this much commitment for a hotdog?”
“Jail >:-(“
Never heard of that website, looks like a bunch of gaming related stuff without proper sourcing outside of twitch and tiktok. Are they in any way reliable?
The source is the guy himself talking in a video. That’s almost as good as it gets these days
A lawyer named Stein, started a food business called Shysters? o.o
It’s okay, he’s allowed to say it.
Not allowed to sell food along the beach here sadly, a hotdog stand could be fun to run occasionally. Get one of those bike trailer food stands, usually see them for ice cream but I am sure hotdogs work too.
Suppose it’s very seasonal work though, nothing most of the year and loads in summer. But I can’t do it so there is that problem.
I dunno if hot dogs are for him. Maybe he should work at like a pants factory or something.
