    Yesterday, as I was walking into work, I noticed a white Volvo pulling a shorty sea container from Chang Ming lines. I thought this was strange, as we are primarily a defense contractor, therefore we don't by containers of Chinese cr@p. Driving the truck was a young man of indeterminate heritage (Arabic? south Asian?), who yelled something out the window to me, which I could not understand. Realizing that I couldn't hear him, he opened his door to get out, whereupon his truck started rolling since he had neglected to set his brakes. He actually lost one of his flip-flops while quickly jumping back into the truck!

    It turns out he was looking for the warehouse across the street; the one which had a sign with letters and numbers 2' high in front of it.....

    The only person to blame is you for not getting this on video for us. We expect better.

    Yeah, I should've; It was painfully obvious that he was lost. Maybe my dashcam caught it all......

    Your day is over when you lose your flip flop. Poor guy. How do you explain that to the guys back at the shop?
