INSURED OR NOT INSURED

Today a fellow co. worker "idiot?" ambled in. I looked at the clock and noted he was ten minutes late. By the way, I haven't told him yet I noticed he was ten minutes late. He scooted into his office. Probably thinking he'd got away without me noticing. A short while later I went into the office for something and he ambushed me. "I have been driving my van around for three years without any valid insurance." SO I thought. It's your van and your insurance you are supposedly a grown man. What's it go to do with me?.  Apparently  he didn't declare to his insurers he was sign writing the van and this meant he shouldn't be driving on a domestic policy. He huffed around for a while. And then he got into the van and drove off. I wondered why? if this vehicle is not insured why didn't he just bring his car? on his return he made a few phone calls. Then he popped out of the office and said "I'm insured now" just like that. It transpires so long as he informed them of the sign writing it was all ok. Just like that the crisis was over. I don't know what all the Monday morning fuss was about I would have thought he would have sorted this in the first instance.

Tight or what?

Today we had a visit from one of our regular reps. He was very proudly informing us he's doing a cycle ride for charity. And very sheepishly enquired if we would sponsor him. He was very lucky a fair few of my fellow co. workers were around. And they each gladly dipped in there pocket and sponsored him. And then in walked tight ass. He tried all ways not to put his hand in his pocket and sponsor the poor bloke. He even said "I'm a poor pensioner" and he is so not poor. In the end I managed to shame him into forking out a miserly amount for shames sake but it wasn't easy. This same "idiot?" was chatting last week about his mother not wearing her hearing aid. He said "I'm deaf in my left ear. I'm having that."  I couldn't believe it. Rather than sort out an aid to suite his problem he would wear hers so he didn't cost him anything!!
