    Honestly … “The guy that hired the clown” got me reading it. Only because I thought “What the heck? Who hires DJT??”

      My biggest concern is that I’d hit my head on the counter when getting up from the loveseat.

      Btw, paint buckets are OP. Nightstand, foot bath, laundry washing tub. What can’t they do?

          I had a mini fridge in my college apartment’s kitchen. We also had a full-size fridge in the hallway outside the kitchen because that’s where the heavy-duty outlet was. Maybe he just has a weird floorplan.

        Its fine you just hit your head so many times that you learn to avoid it and hopefully you aren’t a slow learner.

        Then you get to enjoy watching others hit their head.

          I use those corner bumpers for houses with toddlers. Every time a piece of furniture betrays me, it gets a bumper. That counter corner would get a pool noodle or pipe foam cover.

          Why yes, I have bad proprioception and am covered in mystery bruises.

          (Have talked to my doctor about the bruises and she is isn’t worried. I’ve bruised like this for 30+ years.)

    I mean I do have to say, they can stop you right? least if the company has any dress policy etc… they can request that the clown follow the companys dress policy when coming into the building… which if he complies I guess they can’t stop you, but at that point I don’t know if someone is technically a clown out of uniform.

    I do wonder where the guy is now, as I’d be willing to bet his notoriety landed him some other job afterwards.

      I mean… What are they going to do, fire him? If they physically prevented the clown from coming in, you could also dress as a clown and then be barred from the meeting you’re being fired from.

      Infinite employment hack.

      You can take the man out of the clown suit but you can’t take the clown out of the man.

      As long as he’s still furiously folding balloon animals while I’m getting canned, I’m still satisfied.

        Taking applications for lover; clowns only, please.

        We’re about to see if clowns are as good at stuffing things in as their cars suggest.

    Tangentially related, why would you fire someone just for fucking up? Everyone fucks up occasionally, an in my experience, the bigger the fuck up, the more diligent thay person will be in ensuring they don’t do it again.
