A BIT OF THE OLD ULTRAVIOLENCE
There's a carpet store across the street from our shop,and every morning the installers block the street and take our parking spots and generally annoy us and our customers.
There is a never ending stream of delivery trucks until about 10 in the morning, and this guy with the biggest tit's I've ever seen unloads rolls of carpet with a forklift equipped with a joust like appendage that is vaguely phallic, what with the piercing of the carpet rolls...but mostly it's a traffic blocker.
And that's the scene every morning, until today.There was a fight at carpetbagger central this morning... we got to see it all.
One big dude was arguing with 2 smaller dudes (one of them a 50-something deaf man) lots of posturing and pushing and then BAM! the big dude punched the younger dude in the face,sending him reeling...and then he ran off and was running over cars in the chop shops parking lot next door, with like 5 other dudes in pursuit, also running and jumping over cars. Meanwhile the deaf guy threw himself to the ground and started slapping his chest and making those guttural yelps deaf people make when excited, as if to say to the big dude "hey big dude!Look! I'm so scared I'm having a coronary!NOT!" When big dude kicked the other guy in the face,deaf guy jumped up,and he and the other dude who got kicked in the face bumrushed him and they went flying into the barditch by our driveway and started pummeling the big dude dogpile style. All the while management was running around trying to restore order to no avail.
Another carpet bagger came running over with a big rock and tried to hit big dude with it...when he couldn't get a clear shot he just started kicking.Then there was more leaping on and over and posing on cars.
It was like bad westside story!
Then the cops rolled up and it was over.
As far as I could tell no one went to jail, but I can tell you, this isn't over.
Stay tuned.
I can't imagine any work related dispute that would cause me to get physical...yell and threaten maybe...but throw down?
No way.
