Things that grind your gears

Stories about people, things, and so on that grind your gears.

Really just made this thread to share a story about one of the guys at my work place that's a major piece of shit.

Story time. My job is union, and there's this one guy that's such a fucking joke, he's been out on workman's comp for 5 years and is never coming back. It being a case where he claims he's in intense pain, saying things like "it's like having acid poured down my back, I just learned to live with the pain". It really pisses me off cause technically I'm not considered hired, I have to wait for a full time position to open up before I can get hired and be part of the union (which finally looks to be happening within the next month), and you have this guy claiming to be too hurt to work, but then streams himself on facebook going to Metallica concerts, or going on trips to other states, (here in Illinois it's pretty much a case where the govt doesn't seem to care about cracking down on people exploiting workman's comp). Apparently it's a case where we have to hold a position for him because of that, "in case he comes back" for around two and a half years, and our previous boss made the mistake of letting him come back to work over 2 years ago, him coming back to work with a walker, doing the job for 45 minutes before leaving, saying he's in too much pain to work, him going out for another 2+ years. It really pisses me off since I've worked with many guys that have been sticking it out and putting in a lot of time and effort to get a full time job, and because of that asshole, that's robbing someone of a job. The only good thing about all this is our new boss is putting his foot down on that, him going through proceedings to fill his position, saying that his new cut off day is coming up in the next month or so, and he's not making the same mistake our previous boss made by letting him come back.

was this the one where trump said socialism sucks? 

Yup, the Dems prefer Trump to a democratic socialist.

Trump used a brief portion of his speech to express alarm at “new calls to adopt socialism in our country,” initially drawing groans from several Democrats. 

But he then offered a pledge that some couldn’t help but reluctantly agree with: “Tonight, we renew our resolve that America will never be a socialist country.”

Of the 2020 gang, Gillibrand stood first and applauded enthusiastically, as Warren, Harris and Brown slowly stood and joined those clapping.
