The last week has been stressful, not just for the office staff but the drivers as well but really! the way they let off steam is terribly inhumane to me.
The only female in the office full of disgusting male bus drivers, with very bad eating habits obviously.
A day or so ago one of them decided to let of steam that was as noxious as napalm, thick like glue and sticky as dog shit. I lost it, really I'm up for a crude joke or comment, a little biff and boff but this was beyond my own lack of sensitivites.
So I basically treated him like the animal he was, oh I also gave him the longest and worst driving shifts too. He approached me this morning (on earlies again and he's our 03.30am driver) and asked earnestly if I was very upset with him.. umm YES he asked why? (oh dear, really I had to explain this at 6am in the morning)
Hans, I'm all for a joke, rude language and a laugh at someones expense, even my own but if you wish to behave like an animal I will treat you like one. If you do it again I will divert our emergency night phone to you without your knowledge and work your ass to the bone, I do the run sheets and schedules remember. So in the future, if you wish to shit your pants in my presence remember the widely known fact I can be a bigger bitch than you can be asshole even at 6am in the morning.
I slapped him on the shoulder and said no hard feelings eh?
He was rather sedate and pleasant this afternoon, I think it may have worked.
