I had a gun pulled on me by an angry customer.
Why did I have a gun pulled on me?
Well I didnt put enough alcohol in his drink............
I promptly put enough alchohol in his drink.

Another funny one involving our workers......
They called into work sick. But still came in to pick up their checks and than promptly spend their day at the park enjoying themselves.

Another stupid one, I got a margarita cup smacked against my head.
Why?

Like seriously people, I told you this isnt real tequila, its fake.

Yeah.......did the police get involved? Just bringing a gun into a bar is illegal, even with a CCW permit, but threating someone with it is a straight-up felony.

This isnt a bar, its a water park,and yes, the police got involved.

Actually, depending on where you are, it is perfectly legal. Here in Iowa you may even drink in a bar while carrying, right in front of a cop, and it's 100% legal. The only condition is that you can't be DRUNK while you have a gun. You just have to stay under the .08. Here is where it gets funny though, if a cop asks you to take a breathalyzer you may legally refuse. They can force you if you're in your car, but not with your gun. Therefore, even if you are drunk as long as you aren't obviously drunk you won't get sited for it. Confirmed by local Sheriff and Chief of Police.

This is true in many states. Last time I checked it is legal in Montana too. But don't quote me as I do not go to bars (or drink alcohol), nor do I own a firearm (believe in people owning them, but do not own one for my own personal reasons).

I'm a one and done kind of guy. Bar's aren't my scene except for the occasional pool game when my brother is back in town. I view drinking with a gun like I do wearing a tuxedo t-shirt to a funeral. It's extremely bad taste, but as long as you aren't hurting anyone or breaking any laws then whatever.

Polish Roulette? Is that where there is a round in every chamber?

As long as it is all in fun I will make fun of everyone. My general rule is that if you can make fun of anyone, then everyone is on the table, yourself included. As a chubby man I often make fatty jokes. I feel it's like Chris Rock using the N-word.

I was meaning they have historically been very accommodating hosts.
As shown with the gun above: they would insist their guests go first.

That's fine, being Polish they likely didn't rack the slide for the first shot anyway, LOL

Its where you use one round, but not in a revolver.

If you dont get how it works, dont ever play it

Time for another fun one today.
Cabanas is hell.
So, we have 3 special cabanas.
Someone booked 1 and 2, leaving 3 open.
So someone wanted to book one, but couldnt, so they got 3. They didnt like 3. said it was too close to a trash-can(about ten feet away) didnt like being near the noisy pool(they are all equally distant. So marketing got a good idea. Reverse the numbers, so 1 is 3 and 3 is 1. problem solved. not when the people got there though. They had a map and a printout of their cabanas. So they get into a fight with the other group. And one lady started badgering, belittling and just being mean to one of my co-workers. very nice and timid girl. But she got broken and insulted to customer. "bitch" and "Whore" where used.
So, in the end, they where given a free meal for each member, upgraded to a premier cabana and told "We will not serve you for the rest of your stay, enjoy the park"
Like seriously people, its just a cabana, no need to insult your waitress over it.

Not quite so much a horror story but more a collection of oddball customers..
I worked in a bikeshop as the workshop manager..
We had everything from Law enforcement(I built every single police bike at one point) to 1% bikers.
I remember one incident particularly well..
I was sat outside the shop building a wheel when two cops rode up. One had a "singing" front rotor.
So according to our agreement I dropped everything and went straight to work on the brake..
While working those brakes the cop in question grinned at me, pointed at my ink and said" don't you have too small arms for having such ink?"
I picked my wirecutters from my pocket, held it around his hydraulic line and said "Aren't you a bit fat to ride a bike with no brakes?" his partner broke down laughing his fethin rear off..
I ended up getting an apology from the pig and gave none in return.
And afterwards I sent the local PD a bill for half an hours worth of labour and shop supplies..

You I like!

All in a days work.. Insulting cops and wrenching bikes..

Yeah, a lot of midwest places/states are like that. Surprisingly few number of alcohol related shootings in bars. It is something that usually just doesn't happen in bars. Apparently drunk people in the midwest have enough sense not to shoot a firearm off in a bar, but dumb enough to drink and drive or go shooting at home while drinking. Go figure.

Maybe because in the midwest, the bars are considred holy like churches?
Also, why shoot up the place you can go to get away from the nagging wife?

Chatting today with someone from the place I left, as I'm now able to talk about it without crying.

Okay so my ex work place makes all the signs, screens, light boxes and labels for a company. One that made premium ...pastries.
The U.K. / North rep would come in and when we were doing a major job, he'd bring in a selection box of these ...pastries.
The boss would take the box home for his kids. None of the designers, production workers or anyone who did the actual work would get one. I never worked on that project, so I'd have said no anyway.
But this went on for a while.
Then my manager was pulled into a meeting with the rep and our boss, and the rep insisted he had a ...pastry.
My manager had to pick one and sit there and eat it with our boss just staring at him like he wished he'd catch fire, and try to look a) not terrified and b) like he wasn't losing sprinkles and jam everywhere.

Wait, did the rep find out?

How does this square with the mods, letting a series of posts mocking a group of people slide by? If these posts were about Blacks instead of Poles, they'd be all over it with suspensions.

I don't get the " ...pastries" story at all.

I was wondering why they were called, ...pastries instead of just pastries.

Maybe they're actually sex toys. That makes for a much funnier story.

Especially the bit where the boss takes them home for his kids.


And it is consistent with Buttery's reported life experiences.

I'm like 10% Polish, remember reading the joke and having a laugh. Carry on.

If I named the food, you'd be able to work out the company as there's only one or two distributors in the UK.
