A Car Theft
This story happened about a month ago. Maybe I should have told you about it earlier, but I didn't have enaugh time to write something here. So...
It was an ordinary morning in the office. My boss was talking on his cell phone so, I replied answered the call when the alt(?) phone started ringing: "To reply" means that you are responding to something. "To answer" can be used to describe a reply, but it can also be used to say that you are attending to something, or taking responsibility for doing something.
- "Assistant manager of "*** Company". How can I help you?"
- "This is "*** Cargo" manager. I need to talk to your boss"
- "Sorry, my boss is a little busy right now. He will call back later"
- "No, you don't understand - this is an emergency! Your workers have stolen our car!!!!"
- "They what???..."
For the next half an hour we all were a bit choked shocked, because the woman didn't lie wasn't lying and there was no mistake - two of our employees stole a vehicle from our shipping partners, so at the very moment they were arrested on the spot!
And this is how that happened:
The road police stopped the vehicle to check up the documents. The driver left the cab asking the workers not to leave since they were inadmissibly obviously/noticeably/clearly/evidently drunk. "Inadmissible" is a legal term which means that something is invalid, or not allowed to be used in court.
And one of those dead-drunk idiots got into the driving seat and drove down the street!
Of course, police started to chase them but it wasn't really nescessary because the vehicle crashed after about 500 metres of racing. The policemen packed our employees to the police car and called to the shipping company, but nobody was there in the evening time. So nobody knew about the accident until next morning when it was revealed, suprising us and the transporters as well.
The workers had been were fired at on the same day, so I don't know what happened to them next, but I should mention that they were our regular trouble makers. No perfect tenses when you use a specific time! )))
Nobody else had as many accidents as they did! But for the last time they have finally even surpassed themselves in stupidity!
Well, I would probably be happy to say that my job seems like an action movie at times, but alas! it's more likely to be a comedy :D Maybe it's not so very cool and or interesting...but it's also not so too boring at least! =)
