Think you are having a bad day……….?

Was out Saturday drinking with the lads and my old Dad met up with us for a few early in the night. He told me a story about what happened to him at work last week. My dad works on the market in my home town, not as a stall holder but he and his team actually set it all out. They have to do this in the middle of the night on a shift. The traders turn up around 4am-5am, so the market has to be laid out and set up around 2am-3am. With setting up for the Saturday market they do it early hours of that morning and thus have to contend with all the drunks and clubbers from a Friday night. Some of the stuff my dad says he see’s would make ya hair curl. People shagging on a set up store, calling my dads crew tramps (I mean lets face it…you are not going to dressed up in a Tux and shiny shoes now are you?). Just a nightmare. Anyway, the other night they (him and his pal) where wheeling the massive units out when a Big brute of a bloke was walking by with a woman. They were having a right argument, shouting and swearing at each other. The next thing this thug punches the woman in the face and she just goes down like a sack of spuds and was out cold. Me dad and his mate ran over to the gal and she was just out cold, put her in the recovery position and then thought about tackling this thug….they thought better of it because he was a big bloke. Haha! They do have walkie talkies linked up to the police Station and so my old fella called it in. Within minutes a police car turned up with two policemen in it. This lad that punched the girl just sneered at the coppers and told them to “Eff off”!! One of the cops then got his Mace spray (or what ever it is they use now-a-days) and used it on this bloke. He Turned on his heels and ran off with the two police men in tow. Although, the one that had not sprayed the Brute ran thru’ the mist of of what his mate had sprayed and promptly passed out and hit the ground. So, my dad is now left there with a gal unconscious and a policeman that’s just been maced by his own partner. Gah! My dad had to then call for back up. Eventually the gal came around and staggered off on her own accord and the police van turned up. It took 15 policemen to get this nutter in the back of the van in the end!! I think I will stick to my comfy job I have here sat in front of a PC screen every day thanks……geesh!
