45. The satellite dish installer who came to my house was cursing out "Mexicans"

becasue they didn't put the dish back up properly after doing a great job on my roof. And this guy had a young Latino intern with him, learning the biz!

I argued with the guy telling him to cool it they did fine, they just don't have the expertise to tune in my sat dish. He grimbled, and went on complaining about other things "they" do.

When he went around the corner and I was alone with the Latino kid, I apologized for the guy and said I hoped he wasn't like that all the time. The kid was so nice, making excuses for his trainer, saying he does roofs too & hates the competition etc. I said that's no excuse, and he c should complain if he ever feels abused.

Boy oh boy!
