One of the amusing things about working on holidays were the idiots who would come in and say things like, “You shouldn’t have to be here today! It’s not right that they make you work on such and such holiday!”
:rolleyes:
Gord! I haven’t been there in years. God I love that site.
“What’s this about your collection company saying I never returned Resident Evil 2!”
Well, you didn’t return Resident Evil 2. Too complicated a concept?
“We returned it the day after we got it right though the return slot on the door!”
Really?
“Yes!”
Who did exactly?
“He did!” (point to friend).
You did?
“Yes.”
Care to explain how you did that 2 months ago when that drop slot was only put in on Thursday? Here’s the invoice I got a few minutes ago for it. See the date?
<dramatic pause>
“FUCK YOU!” and they storm out.
Note: The reason why they were in was because buddy wasn’t able to get a car loan because this appeared on his credit file… And the Gord was satisfied.
(And the Gord was satisfied, damn that is too awesome!)
I usually tell the cashier, “I’m sorry you have to work today, but I’m glad y’all are open.”
If your purpose in an interaction is to get at someone’s money, you’re not exactly entitled to good manners, either.
Is it OK to drink vinegar?
That website is a fantastic time suck, and I always end up laughing hysterically with tears running down my face whenever I read it, even though I’ve read it a frillion times already.
You can only flush the 12 inch single ones.
My friend works at the local building store and people use the display toilets and poop in the shower displays.
They do the same in fitting rooms.
My best friend worked in a mall chain clothing store in college, and she said they found shit, dirty diapers, and used tampons in dressing rooms at least every other week. Just to add insult to injury, the door of their store was approximately 30 feet from one of the public restrooms.
The Vukoviches.
It was probably a nickname for Laszlo or something similar.
Nice! Did they actually buy a copy, or were they just looking for an anecdote to tell their friends when they returned to “civilization”?
Yes you can drink vinegar, but in smaller amounts than half a bottle - it throws off the acid levels in your stomach and makes you nauseous.
The thing is, I would surmise the kid knows that malt liquor = beerish substance, so malt vinegar = contains alcohol, bought it because it was cheap and legal, dimwittedly figuring it was boozish and chugged half the bottle, like an alkie will chug half a bottle of mouthwash [which is also legal and does actually contain a fair amount of alcohol] but the kid luged his stomach contents around because of the acid overload [and taste:eek:] which clued his rather dimwitted maternal unit in to a problem.
Unfortunately [unlike my mother would have] instead of laughing and pointing at him, and telling him he made the mess, clean it up and don’t be an idiot in the future, she went off on Raps, who got dumped on by his bosses when she screamed her way up the food chain.
I was getting my hair cut at one of those Fantastic Sams type places and the only people in the shop were me, the gal cutting my hair, an older woman, and the gal cutting her hair. So just the 4 of us in there. It was couple of days before Thanksgiving.
I was chatting with my gal off and on as was the other lady with hers.
The older woman asks the girl cutting her hair “So, are you going anywhere for Thanksgiving?”
The gal replied “No, I’m nut so lucky. I have to work the day after Thanksgiving.”
So the older woman says back “Well, you know, some people work really hard during the year so they don’t have to work over holidays.”
WTF!?
We all heard her say it and the place went quiet for a few seconds. And then thinking back to all the years I worked in retail and had to bite my tongue when a customer said something stupid I finally felt inspired to shoot back without any fear of losing my job. I guffawed out loud and said “Wow, now that was a really RUDE thing to say! Not to mention completely untrue.”
A few more seconds of silence so I just started chatting it up with my gal again. The other two didn’t say a word to eachother.
For others who haven’t visited in a while: be sure to read all the way to the end of the Book of Justice, then click on the “The End…” link that appears at the left. This will take you to the final book, the Book of Apocalypse.
I did, a while ago. Totally worth it.
:eek::eek::eek:
The mind boggles…
They actually bought one! A $5.00 paperback, but a sale’s a sale!
Is this guy for real? I mean, I find his stories hilarious, but I can’t believe that it’s legal in Canada to chase shoplifters out into the street and beat the crap out of them, or show up at a kid’s school, or “accidentally” toss some kid into a wall as you’re escorting him out the store.
I mean, it seems like it was his store, his rules, and he was confident enough in his business acumen not to put up with crap, but yikes!
Of course they did. They didn’t have one for sale in their hometown.
Who goes on vacation and decides they need to read the Iliad?
