Maybe 20 years old. He was waving it around at the other guys on the job, too, joking around with it. He was lucky he didn't kill someone and have to live with it for the rest of his life.
My dad told me when I was a kid: If you're ever in that situation, just stand up and leave. Don't say hey don't do that. Don't wait around and hope everything is okay. Don't start joking around about it too. Just don't say a word, stand up, walk out of the building, go somewhere else, the end.
Your dad gave you some solid advice.
