She thinks I'm Crazy

[decal1]

Okay, so I was at work tonight cutting ceiling tiles to replace some damaged ones. So I pop the tape measure off my belt, make a measurement and go on. I do this several times when one of my co-workers stops me and asked me why every time I put the tape measure back on my belt I pull my shirt down over it. I didn't even realize I was doing it. So I tell her I like to concealed carry my tape measure. You know I don't want everyone to know I have it. She just walked away muttering something about me being crazy.

Anyway no real point to the story. I just thought I would share something funny that happened tonight.

Did you conceal your pencil too?

 

[Bunnykid68]

That's funny.

I think that those of us that live and breathe firearms develop habits that transcend guns in general. I never put my finger on the trigger of a drill or staplegun now, and I also OC my tape measure...

I thought I was the only one on the planet that did that with power tools.

I just take my speed square out every time someone says draw! Then spin spin it and put it back in your belt!

Where were the tiles manufactured?

Didja read the label to see if they might be ACM?

Yep. They are also always pointed in a safe direction and I avoid sweeping people with them. I don't even realize I am doing it.

Wow! I guess I'm not alone in the universe afterall.

Add another one with the no finger on power tools as well. I also shake hands with my trigger finger extented. Never noticed it until it was pointed out to me once.

If you open carry your tape measure a five year old girl can take it away from you. Further, IMPD will stop you, point the tape measure at you and at joggers and bicyclists and then call you a mother&*%#*&^ cowboy.

Fear me. I have the plastic tape measure that can get through metal detectors. The Glock 7 tape measure. Yeah. Damn, I never thought about it, but trigger discipline with the drills and stuff... I haz it. Even with the other hand.
