This fairly young guy just came into my building asking if I knew where the Napa Distribution Center is. I didn’t, but I looked up the address and printed directions for him. He asked if we were hiring, and I gave him an application, which he decided to fill out in the lobby. He turned it in, thanked me for the directions, and went on his merry way.

I just glanced at it while moving some papers around on my desk and saw the words “battery explainin person” written in one blank. I figured since he was going to Napa that he must have sold car batteries at one of their stores and used that ridiculous bit of text as his job description. Not very impressive, guy.

Then I looked at the question he was responding to.

Have you been convicted of a felony within the last 7 yrs? *the Yes box was checked*
If Yes, please explain: battery, explain in person

Now I sort of feel like a jerk for laughing.
