Weird happenstance- Fired husband of girl I used to laugh at in high school and confronted about it. I laughed and walked away.
I cant believe I cant post this on reddit but I have to vent.
I graduated HS in 2015, graduated college in 2020, and masters this year. Im a quality engineer and a pretty easy person to get along with. Female. Like an average person.
Anyway. Lets call her...who gives a fuck, her real name Ellen. I knew her since 2nd grade. I grew up pretty poor and disadvantaged, maybe a little odd but nothing crazy. Cue her. Ellen came from a pretty cool family, all of her siblings and parents are in the medical field. Not her. Shes always been obese and just odd. Shed randomly scream for attention and her lies were so insane. One time I was forced to pair with her in 7th grade and she claimed that Lady Gaga was her mom. She was weird. Later in high school, I actually dated her older brother who was the best guy ever. I could never understand why out of 1/4 kids she was so weird. Anyway.
Cue senior year. She starts working as a teachers aid and wearing a fox tail clipped to the back of her jeans. She was heavy and would swing her hips around to make the tail wag. It was so weird. I remember her walking down the hallway and just people cracking up. She thought she was so cool, I guess? Idk. Anyway, again, senior year. We have an English assignment to detail our high school experience. Our last names were a letter off so she went after me. I stood up and read my paper about raising my sisters, being in a single dad household, ect, ect. Rough.
Anyway, she gets up. Tail and all. To a room of her peers she says, "I hate high school. No one treats me with the respect I deserve. Everyone is mean, ect". I was kind of the class clown. My desk was by the teacher I liked and I muttered (too loudly I suppose) "Shes wearing a fox tail in high school! No crap!" And everyone stood up and clapped. Not really but I guess everyone around me heard it and started to laugh. Including the teacher. She kept going about how everyone thought she was weird and talked about how her favorite show was the Happy Tree Friends. I remember it all and I dont regret it, I used to, though. I loudly pretended to cough and said, "FREAK!" Again, believe this account or not, the whole class cracked up. A 300lb mean girl wearing a fox tail and randomly screaming/ making animal noises in high school for attention was embarrassed. Whatever.
I caught her a few months later eyeing my car up in the school parking lot during lunch. I 100% think she was going to key it. Me and my friends were going to McDonalds and I saw her and loudly went, "Dont piss on my car like a cat or whatever the fuck you think you are!"
Anyway. We graduate. Huge school funded graduate party at a local bowling alley. They hire like a magician/hypnotize person. She gets called on and he pretends to put the several volunteers under a "spell" and makes them awake thinking they are animals. First girl, a chicken. She clucks. Second guy. A dog. He barks. Then her. She was such a rude bitch, even with her rudeness. I loudly said, "Make her normal! She already thinks shes a cat!" Huge laughter. She later tries to confront me, calling me rude. I told her to grow up and that she was weird af.
Anyway. Like 10 years later. Never thought of her weird ass again.
Im now a quality engineer at a food factory. Opposite of my office are inspectors which are state regulated to ensure compliance. I dont over look them but give them directions on quality checking. They were a temp service and hired anyone and everyone.
Cue Jackson. More like Jackass. Within 5 minutes of meeting him, thinking he was so cool and smart, being weird af, I was reminded of Ellen randomly. At the time I didnt know there was any connection. Anyway. The guy smelled. Beyond smelled. Like stop and think someone shit their pants. On tours of the facility, ypu could see people from other countries wince within 20ft of him. He stank. Beyond stank. I still wonder how he didn't realize that people cringed away from him. He was heavy and had a big beard. He was a few years older then me and his clothes were dirty, beard full of crumbs. Openly pick his ass and sniff his fingers. Nasty. The hiring service would hire people and they'd quit after a shift and cite Jackson as the cause!
Id walk to my office and know when he was or was not at work based on the smell.
His boss, very sweet lady, let's call her Candy. She was too young and nice but was putting him on a PIP and giving him warnings in HR speak that he was gross. Anyway. She comes to me with a issue. I cant go into details but a work instruction had weird wording and Jackass-er, Jackson was calling out the spelling error and making a huge fuss over it. I stopped breathing out of my nose and went to him to address the issue. Candy walks up and immediately throws up all over her shirt and the floor. He doesn't even pause because he's probably used to it while I turn around and try to help her, "-this is spelled wrong! This is supposed to be XXX but it's XXZ!"
I just pull her into the nearest bathroom and she breaks into tears. The guys so smelly she doesn't know what to do. I try to help her clean up and tell her to go home and I'll take over the inspectors. She calls me a day later saying she took a pregnancy test and is pregnant and I guess his smell finally hit her where it hurts.
She tried to protect the idiot but why she was on maternity leave, we had another tour. No one moved him/avoided him. CEO caught a sniff of him and dry heaved.
I was newly married and went home and remember asking my husband what I smelled like and if he'd tell me if I stank. He assured me he would. I couldn't ever imagine being put on a PIP for poor hygiene multiple times. Id be so embarrassed Id quit. They terminated his contract with the 3rd company. Instead of having some dignity he fought the firing. Saying he didn't smell THAT BAD and ect, ect. He was walked out.
Anyway. A few months later. I was in a store grabbing some food and I literally cringed when I smelled something bad. I was by fish and wondered if it was out of season or something and looked up to see Jackson and Ellen. Together. He saw me and said Hi while she glared at me. He started talking shit about the company and how he was putting in resumes for NASA and SpaceX. I just nodded and walked away.
Holy shit.
