This is a question Pure Fury

A friend's dad once stormed up to me and threatened to "punch your stupid face in" because I pointed a camera at him. I was 11. Have you ever done something innocent or made a harmless joke that ended in threats to your person? Tell us about it.

Thanks to Skullfunkerry for the suggestion

Am I Wrong?
I'm often asked to run interviews for various positions. Recently, a guy arrived for a front-of-house role, dressed rather bizarrely in a blazer and sporting a black polo-neck jumper underneath.

Not one to judge people by their sartorial choices, I continued with the interview. By the time I'd asked all the pertinent questions and had a glance over his references, I was satisfied he'd be suitable for the role. I informed him of this and as I stood up to shake his proffered hand, I noticed the beginnings of a huge tattoo winding its way up his wrist.

He clocked me looking and asked if the organisation had a problem with tattoos. Not knowing the full answer to this question, I replied half-jokingly, 'Only if they're not the repulsive type that creep up your neck!'

He fell back to his seat and rolled down the neck of his jumper. Vile. He did have one of those disgusting neck-tatts - an awful, amateur looking, faux-Maori design that ended just below his left ear. Then, to add insult to injury, he spun round and showed me the other side of his neck - some indecipherable script running from the base of his ear to god knows where else.

'Is this gonna be a problem?' He asked.

Lying through my teeth, I simply answered that it wasn't an issue for me, but customers may well be put off, and that the corporate dress-code would not allow him to ponce around in a polo-neck.

Well that was obviously last straw for this freak. The red mist descended and he started to lose his rag.

'It's just a fucking tatt mate!' he yelled, 'Everyone's got them now - this is fucking discrimination. I'll fucking sue you!'

Needless to say I had the last laugh, as I rejected his application and rescinded the job offer. He's probably sitting in the mud at a festival or working in Brighton these days.

I believe they all bum each other for cans of Red Stripe.

"Red ring for a Red Stripe, guv'ner?"

Didn't you check his self tattoo shots via his facebook at the application stage?

This wasn't KFC perchance?
Just I did an installation for a KFC franchise a few years back, and whilst deploying their new server overheard a long-serving staff member get summararily dismissed after he came into work sporting a huge neck tattoo.

He was swearing his head off about "unfair dismissal" etc, but at the end of the day, company policy is "no visible tattoos". It was in his contract of employment. So he didn't have a leg to stand on. (It probably ended up in a bargain bucket!)

Yeah! It was KFC
And the interview straight after was an ex-copper, turned out he'd been sacked from the force for calling some cunt a nonce. Apparently the cunt had also beaten him up AND was caught speeding. And would you believe it? They fired the copper and the cunt got off!

Needless to say I had the last laugh, as the rozzer didn't get the job either. No one gets away with calling anyone a nonce on my shift.
