People Who Make Me Nervous
Generally, I’m an easy going, open minded, and adventurous fellow. But there are some people who make me nervous enough to change my mind. Here are a few:
I needed new glasses but my regular eye doctor retired. I went to a new optometrist’s office and sat in the waiting room. When the eye doctor emerged from the exam room, he was cross-eyed.
“See ya. I’m outta here.”
I called a glass installer because I had a cracked glass in my living room window. When the glass installer arrived at my door, the only tool he had in his tool belt was a hammer.
“Can’t touch this. Bye-bye.”
I wanted to replace an old finicky water heater so I called a plumber to come and give me an estimate. He drove up in a Porsche 911.
“Never mind, Sport.”
I went to get lunch at a sandwich shop I had never been to. I went in and the guy at the slicing machine was missing two fingers.
“Later. Not hungry anymore.”
I may be easy going and open minded, but I’m not that adventurous!
