When To Keep Ur Mouth from Running Away with you...lol

So, yesterday, I was clocked out, and on my way out of the airport.  As I walk outside, I see 3 maintenance workers.  They are working on a light fixture on one of the tables outside. 

Normally I am not one to pop off with any kind of comical banter, but I was over run with the urge to say it...not something, but IT.  I am pretty sure that some of you can already imagine what I said....

Yup..

"So, how many people DOES it take to fix a light fixture?"

OMG, I thought the head of maintenance was gonna come unglued on me.......

"Don't say that...we hear that all the time and it just really torks me.  Geez!"

Yanno...the look on his face was like he wanted to wring my neck....so, to try and smooth it over...lol, I say, "Aww c'mon now *insert name here*, I am just givin' ya shit and that's all it is, and at least I am admitting it."

He said "It just aggrevates me to no end"

Alright...again...I have been working here for over 7 years.  So I ask him "How many times in the last 7 whatever years that I have been here have I said something like that?  OR given ya crap over something?"

"None"

"Well, alright then...that was my one shot, and apparently I wasted it.." 

So, I got in my truck and went home...lol

I did see him this morning, and we did talk about it an everything is all good...

The moral of this, is just because you think its funny, doesn't mean everyone else does...so, THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU SAY BEFORE YOU SAY IT.. (AND SOMETIMES----WHAT YOU DON'T SAY AND SHOULD)....

Cuz, it can get you in trouble OR keep you out of it!
