You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy!™
Workers who are so inept, so lazy, they can’t even paint a highway correctly.
DATELINE: England
According to published reports, road workers painted over a dead hedgehog in the road, rather than stop to pick it up.
They painted over the snout of a hedgehog? Seriously!
I mean a double yellow line down the center of the black asphalt and then, SNOUT, then double yellow line.
Is that the way they drew it up in the morning meeting?Florist Allison Hart, 37, took a photograph of the dead animal with lines on its back.
“I couldn’t believe it when I saw the hedgehog — it’s disgraceful,” she said.
“Workmen spent the day knocking on doors to get people to move their cars so they could draw the yellow lines. All they had to do was kick it with their foot so it was out of the way and then put it in a plastic bag and move it.”
OK, granted, this critter looks like a boil on Satan’s ass. I wouldn’t want to touch it either.
How hard is it to paint a road? It’s not like it’s paint by numbers and the borders are real small. The brushes are big and the paint is ample and the road is 15 feet wide. You gotta be a moron to screw this up.
Hey Einstein, don’t they have gloves or brooms on that little truck of yours?
“Contractors have done a phenomenal amount of line painting in and around the town in preparation for the Tall Ships Races.” A local councilwoman blathered on. “They have done an exceptional job. This is obviously an unfortunate incident, but it was the only one reported during the massive project.”
Blah blah blah. Shut up. They painted over a dead carcasses face rather than move it.
What if this crew was baking cakes and there was a fly in the batter. Would they just grind it into the mix. Would you try and pretend it’s a sprinkle?
What if this crew was laying concrete and Mrs. Johnson’s cat got stuck? Would the sidewalk have four paws pointing skyward?
What I’m saying is you need to have some pride in what you do.
Painting over a dead animal in the road is lame and detracts from the otherwise good job your supervisor says you did.
I would love to be able to tell you that this kind of thing doesn’t happen across the pond, sadly this imagery would prove me a liar.
What moron painted this?
S H C O O L
Are you kidding me?
Did the English Hedgehog idiots fly to North Carolina and paint this out of spite?
When I paint a road; I usually step back and admire my work. At what point do you not notice this 10 foot tall mistake?
Jeez.
Sadly it is just another example of stupid is as stupid does.
And that is crazy.
