I was at work today and toward the end of the day it got somewhat slow and I grabbed my book out of my truck and sat down in my office to read.
I was sitting there reading when one of my employees walked in and looked at me and says
"You read?" with a totally confused look on his face.
I said "Well that should be pretty fucking obvious since I have this book in my hand why?"
He said "I figured you just lifted weights"
to which I reminded him that "You have to exercise your brain as well as the rest of your muscles and that's why I make as much as I do and you make as much as you do, maybe you should start reading."
OK, that last part may have been a little rude in hind sight, but I found myself actually a little offended. So I get home and tell my loving wife what this dip shit said to me and she comforts me by telling me that if she didn't know me she would probably be surprised to see a book in my hands as well. Then tries to make that not sound so bad by saying that I just make the book look small
I know we tend to have people look at us like meat heads, and being on these boards you get to see plenty of people prove that stereotype, but I think that's the first time I've ever had someone reference me that way.
I don't really know the point of this, just a rant, or maybe seeing if you guys have experienced things like that.
