Endangered Species Sensitive
I have a friend, The Magna Carta of Disobedience (Magna Carta for short) who is a manager of the second shift at a factory. Since the recession they have had to let a few people go, and then when they get bigger orders are using temp workers to meet demand. Now anyone who has dealt with temp agencies knows the kind of BS you can get drifting in. In light of this fact, the Magna Carta prides himself on running a tight ship.
Anyway, one afternoon a temp worker who the Magna Carta claims looks as if he’s been doing crank for the last week straight is screwing up constantly and cause the Magna Carta a bit of trouble. So as he’s apt to do, he let the guy know how unhappy he was by slamming the 25o pound steel workbench against wall, causing even more damage to some of the product. Now the real trouble starts, this crackhead has caused the Magna Carta to damage some product with his stupidity, this cannot pass. So, he lights a cigarette and berates the guy while blowing smoke in his face until ultimately the following took place:
MC: You can leave now, or we can fight when I’m done with this cigarette.
Crackhead: Fuck off
Anyone who knows the MC at all can tell you that Mr. Crackhead has made a mistake. The Magna Carta immediately flicks his cigarette to the floor and swings on the guy. Luckily for the dopehead he has uber reaction time (probably do to the crank) and evades the punch and sprints to his car not to be seen for days, until spotted walking down the street in 45 degree weather topless, because he’s hard.
Anyway, while conveying this story to me, I asked if he had any repercussions from the confrontation and was met with a swift, but slightly confusing dismissal:
MC: “There are two kinds of people at work, Wyatt Earp, and dirt. I’m Wyatt FUCKING Earp with my .45′s ready.
Me: “Well, anyone who’s anyone knows that.”
MC: “I don’t have to take any shit from these Endangered Species sensitive guys, with their emo haircuts.
Me: “Endangered Species Sensitive?
MC: “Damn straight, those animals are too sensitive to survive, I won’t suffer them.”
Me: “You shoudn’t have to.”
