40. Move It Or Lose It!
When I was young, I was with my uncle in his car. We found a distributor truck parked in the middle of the road, horizontally occupying both lanes. We waited, and when we saw they weren’t planning to move, my uncle got out and gently told them to move, so we could pass. They said, “Yeah”, but we waited another five minutes, and nothing happened.
So, my uncle got out again and told them to move, now more firmly. The guy cursed at him and said, “We are working. Don’t you see? Go another way”, and they laughed. Well, there was something that they didn’t know. Then, my uncle calmly called his best friend, who was the manager of that distribution company. He told him the issue and the number of the truck. His friend immediately apologized and hung up.
It seemed very rude, but then we saw that his friend called the truck’s radio, and we heard everything. The manager was very angry and first told them to move, then leave the truck there, and go home. He fired them at the spot over the radio.
