The god damn drunk barber from next door keeps coming over

[HEyHEY]

He comes over - pissed outta his gourd..I can smell the booze from ten feet away.. and make sbad jokes and just generally annoys the staff. I try not to make eye contact because it was the mistake the rest of the staff made. As soon as you make eye contact the guy will be yakking and yakking...

Not that you care, I'm just venting.

[wtmusic]

1. That story sounds familiar

you don't have anything better to do, right? :eyes:

[HEyHEY]

3. No, I'm actually pretty busy

Unlike this drunken fool

[wtmusic]

8. Just being sarcastic

they never unload on someone with a lot of time on their hands

[HEyHEY]

10. I'll never figure out how the staff going about their business

And giving him the cold shoulder doesn't get the point across...oh wait..he's loaded!

[wtmusic]

15. put him on HEyHEY...I want a word with this clown

:grr:

[HEyHEY]

16. Well, he seems to have shut down for the day

Our office manager said "You're looking pretty rough, maybe you should go lie down." He hasn't been back for about ten minutes.

[wtmusic]

19. *sounds from bathroom* bbbblEEEECHCHHH...*splash*

sometimes those problems kinda take care of themselves

[HEyHEY]

2. He's back, stumbling all over the place

This gy has a license to put scissors next to people's eyes

[FleshCartoon]

4. Does he...

...get a lot of customers, considering his inebriated state?

Can he handle umbrellas? Can he ride a bicycle without falling off? How is he with segways? Pretzels--can chew a pretzel while taking a sip of beer without choking and passing out, only to have the dog awaken him by licking his face? Can he pronounce "nuclear," "subliminal," and "Fallujah?"

Has he ever considered running for Preisident of the U.S.?

[HEyHEY]

7. hehe

Most of his customers are his old buddies

[FleshCartoon]

12. Well, that's some loyalty. LOL.

Old friend or not, I wouldn't let him near me.

[supernova]

5. Can't you tell him to leave?

He is interfering with workplace productivity, if he's yakking to the point of keeping people from their work.

[HEyHEY]

6. It'd be bad

He's really annoying, but at the end of the day he's just an old drunk

[Jack_Dawson]

9. Where do you work, HeyHey where drunk barbers...

have access?

[HEyHEY]

11. I work at a newspaper

But his shop is the next door over from our office. He just keeps beer in his fridge in the back room and goes at it all day....pretty sick.

[Jack_Dawson]

13. So you're not at the National Post then?

[HEyHEY]

14. Not quite

More like "Nexttothe Post Office"

[m-jean03]

17. His name's not Sweeney Todd is it?

He's a very bad, evil barber.

[flamingyouth]

18. Jeremy, you have to write a book

I mean it. It's not negotiable. The universe is trying to tell you something, with all of the bizarro people you meet (the axe-handle neighbor, the drunken barber).

[tigereye]

20. that's what I was thinking too

you seem to know a lot of characters - or is it just a function of where you are?

[HEyHEY]

22. Little of Column A little of Column B

Mainly it's time spent living in small town ghettos

[tigereye]

24. my sister was living in a small NJ town

which was a combo of small town ghetto going upscale. Welfare hotels across from art galleries and fancy clothing stores. It was a strange mix. She had some strange but sweet neighbors. I have lived in the city for so long I have forgotten the small town "charms" but I grew up in a small town that I now realize was kind of quaint.

[HEyHEY]

21. The guy who pied Jean Cretien

Mayeb some day!

[HEyHEY]

23. God dammit - he's back

Still drunk and is now tlaking in an Irish accent
