Sooo..... *creepy, old witch voice* You want to hear more of my crazy family? Since we started with the youngest, we'll work our way up to the oldest. So next youngest is Justin... Let's see... What's up with Justin that I really don't like?
He's addicted to Xbox. Even the original, before the 360 came out. Instead of helping in the orchard like he's supposed to, you can find him inside, screaming through his headphones, at the too-loud TV.
In the orchard, we're allowed breaks once in a while. Sounds fair, right? Our breaks vary with the different fruit, so I'll let you in on how they work:
Cherries: Everyone has their own bucket to fill, so every 2 buckets, you're allowed a 30 minute break. Sounds more than fair right? Well, Justin and Austin (my brother) shared a bucket, and when they filled 2, they took an hour break. To them, this seemed logical. Meanwhile, I don't take breaks, or I get lazy.
Apricots: Whoever picks the fastest gets to pick, and the others get to haul buckets to the pickers and pack. Justin thinks he should have a bucket person waiting the whole time, and we always have an extra for Grand-Father, and/or whoever has the fullest bucket. We also go by who's the oldest. The younger can fend for themselves.
Peaches: Everyone but Bill, Kris, Dad, and Grand-Father get to pick these (bigger hands = less bruises) Although Bill is usually packing. The rest of us are hauling buckets like mad, because if a picker is waiting with a full bucket, then they get grumpy easily. Justin fits in because he figures we only need three bucket haulers at a time (1 per picker, usually). What he always leaves out it that we need to 1. Make boxes 2. Organize the Trailer 3. Prepare lunch and dinner 4. Do water runs. I should also mention now that peaches demand many boxes. We make them continually, usually fifty before the quad rumbles up and all of our precious boxes are taken away, usually by a grumpy Justin, calling us lazy, and we should be working faster (he's the fastest box maker, but Austin and I are also pretty damn quick). Oh yeah, the boxes also need to be papered.
Back on topic, Justin is basically the testosterone over-loaded version of Joelle. Angered easily, violent when mildly provoked, and can't stand to lose a fight. OH WAIT, that's both of them! Focusing on Justin, I can't say much because I'm too busy avoiding him. If you've worked with him for a while, you'd know why. Basic bitchiness as well as being a spoiled S.O.B.
Austin is with him usually, as they're both dudes, doing "dude" things. Like building tree forts. Or bike jumps. Or even shooting tin cans, which I really like to do. Which reminds me of another issue with Justin: he's very sexist. According to Justin....
Girls should do all the work while he plays Xbox.
Boys should be the only ones wake-boarding (my guilty pleasure)
Girls should listen to everything he has to say and obey (I didn't even do this to start...)
Boys shouldn't have expectations in the area of cleanliness (Right now, I have none for him)
And finally, girls should make dinner, and it should be perfect every-single-fucking-time, and prepared in about 4 seconds (I managed to burn a microwave pizza a few weeks back....)
That's all I can think of for now. If you have anymore sexist stereotypes, feel free to add them in the comments. Points shall be awarded for creativity and originality.
