ROUND TWO

BONER CANDIDATE #1: I AIN’T DOIN THE DISHES, NO SIR.

It’s official: People really, really hate doing dishes. Employees at a Memphis Waffle House were filmed fighting behind the counter during Sunday’s breakfast rush after one of the workers reportedly told another to start washing dishes, despite her being off the clock, Fox 13 Memphis reported. The on-duty employee then pushed the other woman’s head, and the two began trading blows behind the counter, police say. In footage of the brawl, several of the women’s co-workers can be seen attempting to pull them apart. One can also be seen ripping a chunk of hair from the other’s head before the two are eventually separated.
