Impressing the neighbors

At the bottled water company I worked at we had to change out the charcoal in the carbon filter roughly annually. This was an all day job and a messy one too, as we couldn’t avoid getting wet charcoal all over our uniforms. One year a teacher at the school next door shoved one of the kids up against the chain link fence separating us and screamed loud enough for all of us to hear “If you don’t straighten up and behave, you’re going to work over there for the rest of your life.”
