This is a question Overheard secrets

When I was a barman, I stood by polishing a glass as a couple had a hushed argument two feet away about what they were going to do now she was pregnant. The bloke promised to leave his wife, but subsequent hushed arguments revealed that he did not. What have you overheard?

I bloody hate my boss
I work in customs and always get the shit jobs. There is a good reason why he and I have never got on, but that's for another QOTW. This is the tale of how I got him in some incredibly deep shit.

One thing I have to say for him, he's efficient. Everything is by the book and punctual as fuck, it's only my adherance to this doctrine that's kept me the job; he can't find grounds to fire me. This is also what made his lapse in judgement all the more damning. He was manning the front line and showing off to some new starters, who have since confided in me that they were surprised by his conduct at the time.

It is, with hindsight, unfortunate that I was unable to stop the guys I overheard talking before they got out of here; but I did the right thing by reporting the oversight to my superiors, making my twat of a supervisor look grossly incompetent in the process. All it took was eight sweet, simple words.

if there was an "I'm disappointed by this post(er)" button i'd be clicking it.
I thought better of you young man.

Aside: I didn't

Normally, I click on the Ignore button for stories like this,
but this one comes of as less a bad joke, and more a sad delusion.

Been a while since I had to dust off the old spanging pan
